Torque wrenches are tools that allow you to ensure fasteners are tightened to exact specifications, preventing over-tightening and under-tightening. This tool is especially handy in applications such as automotive, where each model of vehicle has its own torque specification.
Take a look at our range of top-quality torque wrenches from brands such as Powerhand and Sealey, including digital torque wrench options.
Shop Torque Wrenches By Type
You can shop the torque wrenches that we offer here at ToolMix by type if you already know what you’re looking for. If you need a bit of help, keep reading.
Torque wrenches come in various sizes and styles that will perform better in certain tasks than others. Look for fully insulated options to protect against voltages of up to 1500V DC and 1000V AC if you’ll be working with live electricals. Choose a wrench that torques in both directions if you know you’ll be working in tight spaces. Or opt for cold and heat-resistant options depending on the conditions of your worksite. Plus, don’t forget, there are digital torque wrench options too, for convenience when reading the torque range.
When To Use A Torque Wrench
With a torque wrench, you can tighten nuts and bolts to precise torque levels, preventing any damage to crucial components like stripped threads from over-tightening. They are ideal for a range of applications and home improvement tasks as they make precision jobs easier and allow you to access hard-to-reach areas. Their user-friendly design with easy-to-read scales and comfortable grips makes tasks efficient and straightforward.
Choosing The Right Torque Wrench
You’ll need to choose the right torque range for the type of application you want to use it on. Every torque wrench has a specific range in which it operates. You need to match this with the torque needed for your task. For example, if your tightening car wheels that need a torque between 80 and 140 Nm, it’s best to opt for a torque wrench with a range of 30-210 Nm or higher.
Next, you’ll ned to think about the head size of the torque wrench. Common head sizes are 1/4” for precision work such as spark plugs, 3/8“ for standard tasks, and 1/2“ for heavy-duty jobs such as car tyres.
