2018 Holiday Gift Guide: Giustaforza G 1-8 Torque Wrench

  • Ron 

Effetto Mariposa’s benchmark Giustaforza torque wrench sets the high standard in torque wrenches and has long been a lust-worthy entry on the “tools to buy” list of many a home mechanic. However, at $260 it is may not be on everyone’s need list.

Giustaforza’s new compact and more universally affordable G 1-8 is likely to change that. The precision focused click-in feature of the premium Giustaforza 1-8 and the sturdy construction remain the same, but the new smaller wrench ratchets its torque range back to 1-8 Nm, reaching all time sensitive lows. If needed, torque can still be reached past 8 Nm and up to 20 Nm without damage to the tool.

At 135 grams the Giustaforza 1-8 with a compact head works as portable mini tool and reaches tight spaces. Take it trail-side or assemble a shipped road or triathlon bike with this one tool. A loud ‘click’ and a free movement of 5 ° will indicate the precise torque has been reached.

The Guistaforza 1-8 can be purchased for $99 without bits, and there is a Deluxe option at $140 that comes with a full selection of bits (2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, T10, T15, T20, T25 & T30).
