Stanley Dial Torque Wrench, 0 → 30Nm, 3/8 in Drive, Square Drive

These Stanley dial torque wrenches have large easy to read dials which are protected by a metal guard. The narrow head design enables access into restricted work areas. Dial torque wrenches are widely considered as one of the most accurate to use and an essential tool in torque measurement. These measuring instruments can be used as an assembly tool, but are best used as a quality control instrument to verify or monitor torque. Designed for torque auditing and measurement applications and an alternative solution to a digital wrench for performing a quick visual torque verification test. As well as regular use in the automotive industry, these tools are used in the aerospace and defence industries.

Torque wrenches are tools used to prevent over-tightening when fastening locking nuts and bolts and are an important hand tool to have in your tool kit. These precision tools allow fasteners to be tightened to the correct tension thus avoiding damage from over tightening or joints coming apart from under tightening. They are used for accurate torque settings which is important for safety, assembly and performance of equipment. Torque wrenches need to be calibrated regularly so that they are giving accurate readings.

Dial Torque Wrenches are a type of wrenches/drive designed to apply a specific torque to a fastener. Torque wrenches are usually equipped with a ratcheting mechanism allowing for constant work without refitting the wrench after every turn of the bolt. Speciality Torque wrenches are commonly used by professionals such as car mechanics, engineers, builders and serious DIY enthusiasts.

Torque wrenches are precise measuring devices which require care in handling. Always place the tool in a storage box after use. Do not use cheater bars, hammers, or any other damaging object. It is recommended that micrometer wrenches are stored at 20% of full reading to maintain accuracy. All torque wrenches should be recalibrated at least once a year, more frequently depending on usage.
