It seems common to have suspension pivot fasteners in such a tight spot that the normal torque wrenches just dont fit (head too wide and 3/8" drive bits too long). See pic below. My Ibis was like this, my new Giga is like this and a number of other FS bikes i've had.
Taking these apart and servicing is tedious with just L allen keys. Even ball drivers dont generally have enough angle to spin them. One answer might be using a low profile ratcheting wrench just for hex bits, then use a low profile torque only wrench (such as the Effeta Mariposa) to torque them. But that wrench is limited in its peak torque. A combo compact hex bit ratcheting torque wrench that goes up to 20+nm would be ideal
Any suggestions on such a unique niche tool? What does the factory or shop assemblers use here? Or are they just hand cranking down on L keys Gutentite style?
