I've never used a torque wrench on Speedplays. I've snapped a lot of c-springs but I very much doubt it has anything to do with bolt torque. They have the handy click guide but also, if they're too tight they don't work and if they're too loose - well you just wouldn't leave them loose would you? Anyway, yeah, you can get other brands is more my point but I have a couple of torque wrenches that do 2.5Nm and I've never used them for cleats.

100%. I know that the c springs just snap from wear and tear - it’s always my right spring that goes because that’s the foot I clip in and out with in traffic etc.
Just want a 2.5 torque wrench out of pure tool desire, nothing more complex than that. Would never bother torquing them with my park tool 5.2. The fact it’s not filling an urgent need is why I’m speculatively hunting for a second hand one

Hey @hippy. I have a Park Tool 5.2 but it’s pretty fiddly down at the lower range. I have always just fitted the cleats by hand, following the Speedplay “click” instructions and done totally fine without a torque wrench. I snapped another(!!!) c-spring today and replacing it with one of my last spares I thought how handy it would be to have an unbranded/ritchey/Speedplay 2.5nm torque wrench. I’ve been replacing and updating my toolbox recently and quite fancied one if there was one languishing at the bottom of someone else’s toolbox going spare
