Manual Torque Wrench - Clicker Wrench

- A manual torque wrench allows the user to apply a specific amount of torque to a fastener, ensuring that it is tightened to the required specifications.

- a. Always set the torque before applying it. - b. Use the correct technique – apply force at a right angle to the handle. - c. Store the torque wrench in its lowest setting when not in use to maintain accuracy.

- The maximum capacity of a manual torque wrench varies, with common ranges from a few inch-pounds to several hundred foot-pounds, depending on the model.

- A manual torque wrench works by applying a controlled amount of torque to a fastener. The user sets the desired torque value on the wrench, and as force is applied, the tool ensures the bolt or nut is tightened to the specified level. Most manual torque wrenches use a mechanical system, such as springs or beams, to indicate when the pre-set torque is achieved, often through a click, dial, or beam deflection.

- Click torque wrenches are generally accurate to within ±3-5% of the pre-set torque value, depending on the quality of the tool and how well it is maintained. Regular calibration is essential to retain this level of accuracy.

- A clicker torque wrench is designed to provide a tactile and audible "click" when the desired torque setting is reached. This signal indicates to the user that no additional force is required, helping to avoid over-tightening and ensuring fasteners are secured to the correct specifications.

- The accuracy of a manual torque wrench, such as a beam or click wrench, typically ranges from ±3-5% of the target torque value. However, this accuracy depends on- Proper calibration. Correct usage technique. The quality of the wrench. Beam torque wrenches may be slightly less accurate compared to click or digital wrenches due to potential reading errors by the user.
