The Zéfal Z Torque Wrench is a precision mechanical torque wrench designed by the French brand Zéfal, primarily for bike shops and home maintenance of modern bicycles. It is ideal for the safe assembly of sensitive components, especially those made of carbon and lightweight aluminium, which are at risk of breaking if overtightened.
Main technical specifications
Tightening torque range: 2 to 24 Nm (ideal range for most bicycle components such as stem, handlebars, seatposts or brake discs).
Very fine adjustment in 0.1 Nm increments for maximum precision.
Accuracy and certification.
Clamping: standard 1/4" square.
?? Set contents (bits included)
Allen bits (hexagon): 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 mm.
Torx bits (star): T10, T20, T25 and T30.
Extensions.
Specialty: Long 4mm Allen bit specially designed for easy access to disc brake calipers.
Key features and ergonomics
Retaining ring: On the bottom of the handle you will find a locking ring that prevents accidental turning and changing the value during tightening.
Audible click. At this point, it is necessary to stop pushing immediately.
?? Important maintenance rule: Like any mechanical torque wrench, it must always be loosened to the minimum value (2 Nm) when the job is finished, so that the internal spring does not tire and the wrench retains its precision. Also, never use it as a regular ratchet to loosen stuck screws.
