A torque wrench is a specialised hand tool designed to fasten or loosen a wide variety of compatible fastener types by applying a specific amount of torque–rotational force. These precision tools ensure the integrity and reliability of mechanical systems, allowing the users to set a specific torque value before use. A torque wrench is typically made of sturdy materials, such as steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, mild steel, plastic, and aluminium alloy, and is plated for corrosion resistance. These hand tools comprise an ergonomic handle, a torque indicator, and a mechanism providing feedback, such as a click, visual indicator, or digital readout when the preset torque value is reached. These mechanisms prevent over-tightening, which can damage components, or under-tightening, which can lead to loosening connections.
A torque wrench set typically includes multiple torque wrenches with different torque ranges and sizes. These sets are convenient for users, requiring them to work with multiple fasteners with varying specifications of torque. Torque wrench sets may come in different set types, including a mechanical torque wrench set and an insulated torque wrench set. In addition, these sets are supplied in a carrying case or storage box for easy tools, organisation, and transportation.
Using torque wrenches offers numerous advantages due to their unique features, including:
Torque wrenches come in several types, each designed for specific applications. Here are some of the most common types:
Torque wrenches are commonly used in maintenance and repair applications in various industries where precise tightening of fasteners is essential to ensure safety, performance, and reliability. Some typical applications of torque wrenches include:
