Slightly different from the other products in this test, the Ritchey Torque Key only has a single setting and only uses a 4mm Allen key.

It’s preset to 5Nm, as that’s the requirement for many of the bolts on Ritchey’s products, but luckily that’s ideal for many other applications too, which means this little tool is a really useful addition to the toolbox.
