Thanks BryanD!
This one is really exciting for us...this started out as a sort of side project and then we knew it would be big when our ProTour test mechanic refused to give his test sample back for inspection until we could replace it..

Special thanks to 51 SpeedShop for their help and input over the last few months. Quite a few SlowTwitchers have been instrumental in the development of this one!

Will the Silca apron ever be for sale or is that a Kickstarter only bonus?

As of right now, the project has hit it's funding goal of $25,000. It's at $28,097 with 27 days to go. I can't wait to see how many people back this.

Thanks guys!! Seriously unexpected..we funded in less than 12 hours. I wasn't sure what to expect, but nobody expected this!
We will be adding stretch goals now that all backers will benefit from, so stay tuned as we are going to have some real fun!

It's nice that your prototype driver isn't just a T-handled shape like my Bontrager preset torque wrench. There's only a few bolts that actually fits on with my bike and I end up haven't to use a standard allen wrench on many of the bolts. Giant also makes three wrenches in 4, 5, and 6Nm, but again, that handle won't fit into tight places like stem bolts, water bottle bolts, and my seat post bolt.

I've been looking for something portable like this. It is tough to drag the giant Snap-On torque wrench everywhere.

I am now a backer on it.

Same issue here!

Currently at $46,319. Incredible. With 27 days to go, will it break $100,000?

Those are special track rings made by Blackspire of Canada for British Cycling.. we've done a lot of our testing on this with track guys/girls as they are typically changing bars, rings, etc at least once a day, so it's makes for a great feedback loop with the athletes and mechanics.
Thanks

I can't believe the response for this! Silca is such a great company and their gear is worth every single dollar spent.
