1/4 Inch Drive Fixed Beam Type Torque Wrench 0 to 60 in-lbs KDT2 - GearWrench

The GearWrench 2955N 1/4 Inch Drive Fixed Beam Type Torque Wrench (KDT2) is an essential instrument for professional technicians and mechanics requiring precise torque application in both automotive and industrial environments. This fixed beam torque wrench offers direct and highly accurate measurement of fastening torque, crucial for preventing costly component damage from over-tightening and ensuring the integrity of critical assemblies. Its robust design and reliable performance make it a cornerstone tool for controlled tightening tasks.

Key Features

• Direct & Accurate Torque Measurement: Provides instantaneous and highly accurate torque readings, with a pointer that moves clockwise or counterclockwise to measure torque in both directions.
• Dual Measurement Scales: Features clear English (0-60 in-lbs with 2.5 in-lb increments) and Metric (0-7 Nm with 0.25 Nm increments) scales for versatile use across diverse specifications. Note: Some sources indicate an 80 in-lb primary scale, and 9 Nm alternate scale. The provided information of 0-60 in-lbs and 0-7 Nm is used here.
• Glare-Reducing Satin Finish: A satin finish on the scale minimizes glare, enhancing readability and reducing potential measurement errors in varying lighting conditions.
• Accuracy-Optimized Ball-Type Handle: Designed to localize force and pivots on the beam to maintain a constant distance from the drive point, promoting consistent and precise torque application for reliable and repeatable results.
• Simple Zero Calibration: Facilitates easy zero calibration before each use by bending the pointer, maintaining ongoing measurement accuracy and dependability. This wrench offers a torque accuracy of +/-7% when measuring torque.
