Ellen: Hey everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and today we're going to be taking a quick look at the Yakima Replacement Torque Wrench for any Yakima bars. Now, this is going to work for several different of the streamlined towers, including the BaseLine, RidgeLine, SkyLine and TimberLine Towers. Basically, this is just a small torque wrench to make sure that you don't over-tighten your crossbars but that you still get a good torque on them.Now I have one of those Yakima towers, just for demonstration. This is the Yakima Baseline. These are available separately here at etrailer.com if you want to pick up a roof rack, which you probably will since you're buying your replacement.
But, basically you're just going to open this up, and it has this little tab from the bars still on there, we just have it left in place for ease of use for us as far as test-fitting things goes, but basically you drop that down in there and then whenever you turn this, as soon as it gets tight to 3.5 Newton-Meters, it's going to click and let you know that it's tight enough. So you can hear that kind of snap. It's not anything breaking. It's just the sound that this is letting you know that you've reached that tightness, so you can stop and not actually break anything.This has a pretty good handle as far as how it feels in your hand. There are four little kind of indentations in it, so it lets you get a pretty good grip.
And my hands aren't the biggest in the world, but they're not the smallest either. I think it'll work out for a lot of different size hands to make it easy to work with. Even if you've got gloves on, if you're in the snow, out in the sun, sweating a little bit, it gives you enough grip that you should be able to get everything loosened and tightened as you need to.Now, you don't necessarily have to use this with just Yakima products. This wrench is a four-millimeter Allen key or a hex key. So, pretty much anything that you want to tighten down to that 3.5 Newton-Meters before it breaks, you can use it for that.
So, if you have a bike that maybe you're working on and it has that same size bolt head, and you only want to tighten it down that much, it'll work out just fine for that. It's made of a metal composite that has an internal mechanism that allows that torque wrench to operate, so again, in any weather should work out, just fine. Keeps your crossbars tight to your vehicle so you know that you're going to get a good hold on there, but not tight-knit so much that you crush anything.Just for reference, I'm going to give you some measurements. So the total length of our wrench is a little over eight inches, maybe eight and a quarter. The widest point of that handle is about an inch and a half wide.
The handle portion itself is about four inches and an eighth. And then our actual tightening portion is about four inches long. Again, this end is a four-millimeter, has a little kind of rounded end, so you can get at it from any angle. So even if it's a little bit off and it's harder to get to, you should still be able to get a good purchase and tighten or loosen any bolt with that head. And that's going to do it for our look at the Replacement Torque Wrench for Yakima StreamLine Towers..

Replaces the torque wrench needed to install your Yakima StreamLine towers. Works with BaseLine, RidgeLine, SkyLine, and TimberLine towers.Thanks to all at etrailer. Service! Cody emailed me that my package had been delivered. I checked the porch and there it was! Thanks to Cody and the whole team at etrailer.
Exactly what ordered. Exact duplicate of Yakima torque wrench for StreamLine Towers. Delivery was very quick. Excellent service!
Easy to order on website. Due to apparent supply chain issues, there was a 3-month long delay before product was shipped. But etrailer kept me in the loop the whole time, minimizing frustration on my end. I was informed by email as soon as product was shipped, link to track package was easy to use, and product arrived as advertised. And it works! Very happy overall with etrailer service

Still working as expected. No surprises.
It works well
etrailer was the only company website that I could find that had the specific information that I was looking for regarding kayak roof racks systems and accessories. They also had installation videos with very helpful information and the products that I purchased (torque wrench and landing pad) worked perfectly.
Great service and quality of hard to get products. Thank you
My daughter bought a 2018 NuCamp teardrop trailer in April 2020, which was equipped with a Yakima roof rack. Since the original owner did not leave the tools needed to adjust the roof rack in the trailer, I bought this and other tools so that she could adjust and lock the rack if needed.
Your very helpful to my orders,
I will continue to shop etrailer.
Thanks a lot
A month after buying my roof racks (not from etrailer) one of the caps came off and was lost and I also misplaced the torque wrench.
I placed a replacement order with etrailer and their communication with me was great. The parts were a perfect match.
Thank you for your service.
Cool, useful tool.

Still working and i use it regularly because I try to not leave my rack on my car. This is a must have.
Really needed this tool for my Yakima roof system but didn’t know where to find the one that came with it. Etrailer shipped it to me quickly and securely and I was able to complete my roof rack installation. All around excellent experience!
Great to have an extra tool when I am putting my rack on top of the car. E trailer is so knowledgeable about these setups!
As expected. Took a little longer to receive but due to pandemic not surprising and still satisfied. Appreciate this reliable business for trailer and rack needs.
Just what I needed and arrived on time.
etrailer is the only company that had this product in stock and product came on time as advertised.
Thanks!
Just what I needed. Delivered as promi sed.
Quick ship, great to to business with. Thanks again
Has worked fine up to this point. Have had others from different vendors that tend to strip out quickly.

This has worked well to replace the allen wrench type tool. It enables me reach the bolts on my yakima rack from the ground on my F 250 and ensure they are tight. I remove the end cap and slide on accessories without having to climb into the truck bed until items are loaded on the rack.
I was skeptical buying this tool. But your website was the only place I could find it! Payed for expedited shipping, came pretty quick, and it works!!!!
