We thought that but I think Winchgirls seat clamp is 7NM? We have a 3/8 0-25NM and this in 1/4 just thought the bigger range one would be better for pushbikes?

They do go down to 4nm on some bikes, particularly if your clamping onto carbon.

Tightening of any screws or small fasteners, typically within electrical/electronics, aerospace, engineering sectors where a value is specified.
For example, torque screwdrivers are quite common with this sort of range.
Probably not something most people would typically use unless you really needed one.

If anything I would expect a torque wrench to be more critical on a smaller fastener than a larger one?
If torque is specced at 4nm and you do it to 5nm that's 25% out.
If its specced at 400nm you would have to hit 500nm for the same % of error.
I don't think I could tell the difference between 4/5nm using a screwdriver by hand but to add an extra 100nm I would probably have to call a mate in to help me out pulling the bar.

The Norbar SL0 11123 4-20Nm is widely used by cyclists and bike shops and the de facto recommendation when folk ask 'what torque wrench...) on cycling forums, etc.

Dive helmets. the industry standard ones have brass inserts in a fibreglass shell for holding the faceplate, and the torque range is in the low inch/lb.

My missus had a go at making some flapjack.
Based on trying to eat that I'd say about 30nm.

Equine dental stuff is about 50nCm for the bushings and 30ncm for the caps.
I would expect human to be less but tooth is still tooth so maybe not?

One of the things that the 0-4 NM torque wrenches are used for is setting up preloaded taper roller or AC thrust bearings. Often, rather than specifying something like 0.0005" preload on a bearing pair, the manufacturer will state rotational torque of 8-9 inch pounds,1 NM or whatever on the shaft with the bearings mounted. The easiest way to test this type of is with a small dial back torque wrench. I have used mine lots of times setting up the pinion bearing preload on rear axles. Gedore appear to have either bought or are re-badging these UK made wrenches, the 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" ones I have are denominated in inch pounds or pounds foot.
