I've narrowed it down to the CDI and VENZO...I think I am going to go with the CDI! Anything more than 8Nm I won't be doing myself.

Biketiresdirect has like 3 different 3-way hex wrenches...which one? AWS-1 or AWS-8?

Then you'd be well served by the Ritchey. I own three torque wrenches including the Ritchey key, it is the one that is used most often.

Another Ritchey Torque Key user.
I also have the Park bar type torque wrench (not to mention full size automotive stuff) and use the Ritchey way more often. |

I grabbed a Ritchey 5Nm because that's all I will really need and under $20 is a great price! Thanks guys!

My older Ritchey with the fixed bit was made into a multi-bit tool by heating up the end, softening the glue, and now I have an adjustable bit Ritchey. If a single 4mm is sufficient, the Bontrager fits nicer in the hand. |

+1 on CDI for small to mid-range torque wrenches.
For the much bigger ones I just get Craftsman. |

I have a few but the one I use most is AWS-3. For fenders, brake pads, etc. |

The Silca thing may be OK, but goes to less torque, and the "portability" means that the numbers are actually illegible unless you also carry a magnifying glass. |

I ended up finding the CDI shipped to my door priority for $49...I am just going to go this route! Where is the best place to find the Craftsman tool?

Also, the CDI is certified, fwiw; I don't think the Silca is. I got my Craftsman from Sears, many years ago. Those things are beasts: Sears new, or eBay/Craigslist used. |

Perfect! I have a Craftsman mechanic tool set that has worked wonders but I don't believe it came with a torque set. |

you are smart to just get the CDI because I gurantee you would have bought the ritchey and in like 2 months by the CDI.
I also have the silca, its great for what it is and it does have same amount of top torque as the CDI but not as nice to use, not even close. |
