HTL’s Torque Wrench Tips

Torque Wrenches are not just tools but precision measuring instruments, which is why they should be looked after.

Here are 3 HTL Tips to help prolong the life and maintain serviceability of your torque wrenches:

1. Your hand torque wrench should only be used to torque tighten and not break out or loosen.
2. Whenever possible, only use your torque wrench (hand or hydraulic) up to 70% – 80% of its maximum working range. Beyond this, you should think about changing to a larger wrench which will achieve the desired torque, but much easier.
3. Always reset your hand torque wrench to the minimum value when not in use.
