What are the torque wrenches
The main characteristics of the torque wrench:
- maximum force, which is measured in newton meters;
- length (mm);
- end head square (inch).
Tools are divided into three types and are distinguished by the way the mechanism works:
- Arrow - the easiest to use and inexpensive tool. But when working with such instances, it is worth considering a high degree of error in determining the value of the parameters. Therefore, this type is suitable for work where accuracy is not required.
- Digital is the most convenient and accurate view, equipped with visual and audible indicators, and the error rate is minimal - one percent. Such tools are suitable for work at serious service stations. But you will have to pay a lot for accuracy - such specimens are expensive.
- The keys of the limit, or click, type are universal, since the degree of error is lower than that of the first type, and the price does not bite as much as that of digital ones. Such models will suit users with different needs and levels of training.
