Its hard to find one tool that does it all on a bike since you need as low as 3 to 40 on BBs and lockrings. Buying one that covers the high end will lead to inaccuracy doing the light stuff.
Exactly. The referenced Precision’s Instruments range starts at 10 NM and will be unsuitable for smaller fasteners. For smaller fasteners you need a smaller tool to be accurate.
