What brand how much and where?
I'm getting very nervous about my carbon frame and adjusting the seat height then tightening by "feel".
So suggestions on best wrench will be good.

Ritchey's Torqkey would be the most economical (I got mine from PBK). It's set to 5Nm and it's pretty much in the ballpark for most locations. Otherwise choose b/n Park Tools' products (two models for different torque ranges). The other option I've seen a few times in LBSs is Pro brand's offering. I suspect they are around the $100 mark. IIRC, Cell has them.

I've read someone suggested waiting for the new Park models 5 and 6 to come out, which will be early next year.

Thanks folks, went in to my local "Tool" shop and ended up getting a Kinchrome for $90. Looks to be fine for the bike. Keep it local.

I stopped visiting that thread a long while back. It's too incriminating if SWMBO were to Google .sogood wrote:Don't forget to make another entry in that Money Pit thread!Boognoss wrote:+1, I bought the BBB one today as it happens.
