Description
The Effetto Mariposa Giustaforza Bicycle Torque Wrench is an ideal tool for both professional mechanics and cycling enthusiasts, Giustaforza 1-8 torque wrench has a very small head, to operate in tight spaces.
The DELUXE version is completed with cycling-specific bits in a practical wrap package.
Features
• specifically designed for bicycle applications
• very easy to use
• extreme constructive quality for maximum reliability and durability
• very small, ‘non-ratcheting’ head, to operate in tight spaces
• no batteries to replace
• no plastic parts
CHARACTERISTICS:
Capacity from 1 up to 8 Nm:
The Giustaforza 1-8 is especially attractive for very sensitive bolts. On those, where the right torque matters most, tightening values can be easily exceeded without the user knowing. Going as low as 1 Nm puts the Giustaforza 1-8 in a league on its own. In use, always refer to the torque values specified on technical documents or printed on the parts themselves.
Easy to use:
- Set the desired torque rotating the wrench end knob, reading the torque value on the scale (scale resolution is 0.25 Nm, integers and .5 on the left, 0,25 and 0.75 on the right). IMPORTANT: the thicker line on the dial should be centered on the desired value on the scale;
- insert the appropriate bit (depending on the bolt you need to tighten);
- using the tool, a loud ‘CLICK’ and a 5° free-movement tells when the torque has been reached;
- always take the wrench to minimum torque value after use.
Minimal, fixed head:
The simple, ‘non-ratcheting’ head has been designed to operate where space is limited, for example with some seat clamps. This small head is a unique asset to work in tight areas. Compatible with standard 1/4” bits.
Lightweight:
The light aluminum body keeps the weight below140 g, less than half the weight of other torque wrenches in this range of torque. This is paramount to get the right feedback at low torque values, without mistaking the effort to hold the tool with the applied torque.
A state-of-the art tool, built to last:
Functional, linear in design and precise in any detail: Giustaforza 1-8 has a hard-anodized aluminum body with laser-etched inscriptions, and it’s built to last. The mechanical, click-type functioning makes the wrench extremely shock tolerant and the absence of batteries or electronics increase its reliability. Each sample is checked and numbered as a single masterpiece.
Available versions:
Giustaforza torque wrench 1-8
Giustaforza 1-8 – Chiave dinamometrica
Giustaforza 1-8 torque wrench Deluxe
Giustaforza 1-8 Deluxe – Chiave dinamometrica
The wrench is available alone or as DELUXE version, equipped with a bicycle-specific bit set and a wrap pack.
Bits include a 100 mm-long extension, three 100 mm-long bits (hex 4, hex 5 e T25) plus several other Torx and hex bits in standard length (25 mm). All bits are manufactured from S2 special steel, with very high (62 Hrc) surface hardness, to ensure maximum durability.
Specification
Detail of bits:
• 10x25mm (HEX2, HEX2.5, HEX3, HEX6, T10, T15, T20, T30, -3/16, +PH1)
• 3x100mm (HEX4, HEX5, T25)
• 1x100mm (extension)
Calibration service:
The +-4% tolerance is guaranteed for 5000 cycles (5000 ‘clicks’), then the wrench should be re-calibrated. Calibration is a service we offer in our laboratory in Lugano (CH) at the cost of 50 CHF plus shipping expenses (may vary depending on the countries: check terms & conditions with the national distributor). With every calibration, the tolerance of +-4% over nominal value will extend for 5000 cycles. After calibration, the wrench will return to the customer with a calibration certificate.

At the end of the long test period, both the keys and the inserts showed no signs of wear, confirming a high build quality that we had already been able to ascertain with the previously tested model and which makes the Giustaforza 1-8 Deluxe as instrument indispensable in the workshop, both professional and amateur.

MTB Tech
The Mariposa Giustaforza 1-8 torque wrench is an extremely professional tool but it must not be missing, the price of 99 € only for the wrench or 139 € for the "delux" version we consider it very good and in line with the general quality of the product.
It is important to remember to "relax" the spring when you are finished using it, thus leaving it extended to the minimum tension. In this way, voltage drops do not occur with the passage of time, but a constant quality of the instrument is maintained.
