Wiggle LifeLine Tools

[MPChurch]

Has anyone used these new lifeline tools from Wiggle??
Are they any good??

I'm particularly interested in the torque wrench set for £25. Thoughts?

They are not that new. I have used a wide variety of them and find them very good value for money. The same torque wrench (different sticker) is sold for £50 elsewhere, I have the Lifeline one.

I've a track pump from them and I bought a bundle of inner tubes, both cheap, both good value for money.

My only experience is with their cable pullers. They arrived broken. As did the replacements! I got a refund after that. I am however probably going to get the torque wrench soon.

I have the Torque Wrench and it is great value for the money.

I've a lifeline CO2 inflator, completely no frills but works perfectly.

I got a lifeline pump. It didn't really work well enough near the top of its range, so I'm back carrying the Revolution mini track pump in my bag again, despite it being over a foot long.

I bought a Topeak 3-12Nm and a 200Nm Draper beam wrench (34887) for less than that Lifeline one, although I already had some ¼" drive sockets to use with the big one.

If you mean this this torque wrench

It looks identical to my Planet X version. Good value and I wouldn't be without it .... much cheaper too!

+1 for the torque wrench, but really you should ask someone who has tested the calibration. We're all Just assuming it's set up right.

Then why get a torque wrench at all? Use a regular one and guess...

At least a torque wrench ( however uncalibrated) gives some consistency. Guess you want to see a calibration sticker on yours before you use it. That'll put the price up nicely.

Yeah, as it's not like the clamp bolt for a carbon seatpost needs to be done up accurately. Finger-tight will do Actually no, hang off the wrench and tighten it until you hear a crack Damn it, I'll use a torque wrench...
