{"title":"Torque Wrenches","description":"\u003cp\u003eA torque wrench applies a measured amount of turning force and tells you when you have reached it, which matters wherever a specification exists: line hardware, connectors, flange bolts, equipment covers and anything where too loose fails and too tight strips or cracks. Click-type wrenches are the workshop standard — the handle is set to the target value, and the mechanism gives an audible and felt click at that point, so the operator does not have to watch a scale while pulling. Micro-adjustable handles set the value precisely rather than to the nearest mark. Range is the thing to get right: a wrench is accurate through the middle of its range and least accurate at the extremes, so a job at 20 ft-lbs wants a wrench whose span suits it rather than the biggest one on the shelf. Inch-pound and foot-pound tools cover different ends of that spread. Insulated patterns extend torque work to energized equipment. A torque wrench is a measuring instrument as much as a tool — wind it back to its lowest setting for storage, and have it checked periodically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeam and dial wrenches are still the reference against which click tools get checked, since nothing in them goes out of calibration; they simply need the operator to watch the scale. Digital torque wrenches add an audible and visual alert at the target and, on the better ones, a torque-and-angle mode for fasteners specified that way. Split-beam designs avoid the wind-down-for-storage step entirely, which is worth having where a wrench is shared across a crew and nobody can be relied on to reset it. Whichever type, accuracy is a percentage of reading, so a 1\/2-inch drive torque wrench at the bottom of its range is the wrong tool for a small fastener — keep a 1\/4-inch or 3\/8-inch inch-pound wrench for that work. Use a torque wrench to tighten only, never to break a fastener loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"interlink-strip-full-width\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"interlink-strip-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"interlink-content\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"interlink-heading\"\u003eSockets and Drives That Fit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"interlink-subtext\"\u003eA torque wrench is only as good as the socket on it.
