The expert's choice, the Giustaforza 1-15 torque wrench
The product that made the name of Italian bicycle accessories brand Effetto Mariposa known in Korea is probably the premium torque wrench, Giustaforza.
A torque wrench is a tool that even enthusiasts know the importance of, but Giustaforza is a high-priced product for enthusiasts. However, the reason enthusiasts know Giustaforza is probably because they saw it used at the shop where they entrusted their maintenance, so they have the image of 'experts or trustworthiness'.
Effetto Mariposa has released a new Giustaforza with a new torque range and operating method. We introduce two models of the new Giustaforza.
The new Giustaforza has integrated the torque range of 1-8Nm of the existing Deluxe and 2-16Nm of the Pro into a range of 1-15Nm. Excluding strong tightening torques such as sprockets and cranks, 1-15Nm corresponds to almost all tightening torques used in bicycle maintenance. In addition,
the detailed change in the torque adjustment method enables precise maintenance. The basic method was to adjust the torque by turning the knob at the bottom, and the value of the adjusted torque could be measured using the gauge on the side. The torque value indicated on the gauge was densely marked, and even if the knob was turned a little, the torque value changed greatly, making it somewhat difficult to use an accurate value.
The new torque wrench has 0.1Nm units indicated on the knob, so you can clearly see the very precise torque value.
The new Giustaforza model uses a ratchet for ease of use, and the ratchet changes direction by turning the knob with wrinkles on the back of the head.
Both new models can change the direction of rotation, but the advantage of the Pro Evo Deluxe is that the torque value can be used in the reverse direction (left-hand thread). Although there are not many parts that are fastened in the reverse direction, it firmly establishes the image of a professional tool that can check the existing fastening torque value by switching to the reverse direction.
Giustaforza 1-15 Pro Evo Deluxe
The Giustaforza 1-15 Pro Evo Deluxe is priced at 520,000 won. It features bidirectional torque measurement and a torque adjustment range of 1-15 Nm. It is finished in an oil slick color and comes with 16 bits.
Torque Wrench Selected by Experts
Effetto Mariposa's Giustaforza is used more by professional shops than by amateurs. So why do professional shops choose Effetto Mariposa?
The evaluation of professional shops is obtained through tangible and intangible information such as user reputation and customer response, and the tools used are probably included in the evaluation items. You can gauge the maintenance skills and style through the neatly organized work environment and the tools used.
Effetto Mariposa guarantees the accuracy of Giustaforza up to ±4% (±6% in reverse). And it can maintain precision by sending it to Switzerland for a calibration service, although it is paid.
Reliable tools are a symbol of providing meticulous maintenance services to consumers, so they invest in tools, and Effetto Mariposa's Giustaforza is the result. In addition, the 100mm long bit and usability are also reasons why professionals prefer it.
