Any more info on this or links? I've been looking for a better small bits torque wrench.

Sure thing - it's a CDI TorqControl model TLA28NM... range is 2-8Nm.

Search for the model number on Ebay and Amazon... price seems to fluctuate.... around $50-80.

Reviews on Amazon are very good. I thought it felt a bit plastic-y at first but seems to work just fine in practice. I haven't performed a scientific test - just a casual back-to-back check with another torque wrench.

A lot of people prefer the TS-2 to the TS-3. I was in a bike shop where they had a TS-3 sitting on top of their spare parts bins and every mech had a TS-2.2. Shop owner wasn't there or I would have asked him what he wanted for it

I like this thread...and I have NO idea what half of those tools are.

How about some descriptions, por favor?

(Except for the tool with the blonde.)

Tuesday Tool Thread
Costco has a special on Feit LED utility/shop lights... 3700 lumens / 38 watts / 4100k / $32

Great bang per buck compared to other current LED options. I got nine for my little 288SF man cave... 116 lumens per SF.... what an enormous difference.

I have them "temporarily" staged while I figure out what to do with the ceiling. They're very light weight and easy to install/position and include a short small steel cable for hanging.... currently attached to a zip tie around the rafters on each end.

I peeked inside one and the tubular housing is a diffuser shaped to look like an icky $16.99 T8 fixture... it could've been a narrow sleek 1/2" thick panel.... ah well.
