Not worth the money
It looks gorgeous, but the quality is not there. Markings on the torque scale are badly applied, and are too wide and crooked making accurate selection of desired torque nearly impossible. I am not willing to use it on a carbon frame until it is calibrated - meaning I have pretty much wasted my money.
Very disappointed - will teach me to buy for looks!

Looks good but is not a good buy
Purchased this effetto mariposa wrench set due to good good reviews. It looks nice and have a good heft in the hand. That is the good. The bad? It is not a very precise instrument. The torque setting screw has a thick line like the scale and no info if the setting is on, above or under the line when the wrench was calibrated. The bit set is just useless. The hex5 bit is too wide! It's 5.1 mm making it useless for example to applying torque to the stem top cap. I would bet there are a lot of bad bits out there supplied with this kit. If the bit set is not of correct size then how can you trust the wrench as a good instrument. I will not purchase another bit set just to be able to use this set. The torque wrench was returned. I purchased a topeak torque wrench set with correct bits instead for the less money.

Perfect for use on Carbon Framed bikes
I have used this product on my Carbon Frame bike and found it extremely easy to know when I have reached the right torque. I used to just take my bike to a shop for fear of breaking something, now I have more confidence to do much of the bike maintenance at home. The ratchet option is very useful over cheaper models. The hex bits could have a broader option/range as I find I am using the larger bits more due to their more common sizing.
You get what you pay for with this product

No more guess work.
Must have tool if you own a carbon fibre bike. No more guess work.
