Effetto Mariposa Giustaforza 1-8
Effetto Mariposa’s Giustaforza has long been the high standard in torque wrenches. And while it is on every mechanic’s ‘want’ list, at $260 it is may not be on everyone’s need list. The new compact and more universally affordable G 1-8 is likely to change that. The precision focused click-in feature of the new Giustaforza 1-8 and the sturdy construction remain the same. The new smaller wrench ratchets its torque range back to 1-8 Nm (and higher, you just won't hear the click!) as opposed to the larger Giustaforza covering a range of 2-16 Nm.
Key points:
- 1 Nm for sensitive bolts: in a league of its own
- Sturdy construction: the same sturdy construction used to produce over 20,000 Giustaforza sold. All of the features of the original now on a smaller body retaining the same reliability and recalibration capability. If needed, you can still torque past 8 Nm up to 20 Nm without damage to the tool.
- Portable: the Giustaforza works as a portable mini tool. Take it trail side. Traveling w/ your bike? Assemble with this one tool.
- Small head designed to fit in small spaces.
- A loud click and a free movement of 5 ° will indicate the precise torque has been reached.
- Weight: 135 gram
