Dorky? Yes.
Practical? So much so that it completely outweighs the dorkiness.
A good torque wrench is key if you are working on your own bike. Especially with a carbon frame (which i have). If you over tighten parts (which is possible due to having to crank on anything steel or aluminum), you could crack/damage the frame. That means big bucks. It's on sale now at Nashbar, but would make a great Christmas present. :)
