Compact, carry with you torque drive tools are now common, with various designs that afford you options based on your preference for how the tool works. For the lighter tools, the simple but accurate torque tube design is most common. The Lezyne Torque Drive builds off the success and concept and application of their T-Drive system. Instead of the simple, magnetic bit receiver tube, Lezyne uses their impeccable machining skills and knowledge to offer a svelte 2Nm – 10Nm capable torque tube. The driver end features a magnetic bit holder and shows the etched torque scale. The design is simple. The handle slides cleanly in the the drive tube, and can be used as a T or L-handle style depending on your clearance and leverage requirements. Set-up in a compact, foam lined case, with 11 driver bits, this 190 gram kit is truly portable.

Known for quality design, materials, and construction, Lezyne has made it's name and brand with clean CNC work, especially with aluminum. The aluminum T-handle piece is smooth except for the two knurled ends, one of which is threaded so you can remove the end for installing in the driver. The driver is shaped, with a nice hand feel, with a perfectly drilled hole for the handle, as well as integrated magnetic bit holder at the business end. The 12 bits are 1/4 Hex standard, and precision-milled from tool steel. The faces are clean and perfect, not matter what the tool type, and you can see the lovely detailed chamfered edges on the Hex bits that create smooth entry into receiving bolts.

With this Lezyne Torque Drive kit you get 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 mm Hex bits, T10, T25, T30 Torx bits, as well as Phillips and Flat head screw driver tools. The soft case features a foam block that has been laid out to perfectly accept and secure all the parts, and has a mesh pocket under the lid for a small item storage, like a quick patch kit, tire lever, etc. The Torque Drive will be welcome in shops, on the bike, or in the home tool box. The torque accuracy is excellent and consistent from the torque tube system. All you have to do is watch the torque designations as you apply torque, stopping when you hit the desired Nm value. With all of the sensitive and expensive fasteners and bike components on the market, even on full suspension mountain bikes, this elegantly simple and incredibly effective torque driver system may save your bacon, and your bread, from the garage to Moab, or on the dusty gravel roads to glory.
