Beam Torque Wrench - KD Tools

Specifications

The KD Tools GearWrench Beam Torque Wrench, model number 2955N, is engineered for precise torque measurement in various applications. This manual torque wrench weighs 6 lbs and has dimensions of 22 x 5 x 2.25 inches. It features a 1/4 inch drive and measures torque in a range of 0-80 inch-pounds (in/lbs) and 0-7 Newton-meters (Nm). The scale includes both SAE and Metric measurements for versatility.

Key Features

• Direct Torque Measurement: This beam-style torque wrench directly measures torque values, with a pointer indicating the force applied as the beam deflects.
• Dual Scale Readings: The clear, easy-to-read scale provides measurements in both inch-pounds and Newton-meters, accommodating various specifications.
• Durable Construction: Built with minimal moving parts, this torque wrench offers inherent durability and consistent performance.
• Consistent Accuracy: The simple design contributes to its reliability and reduces the need for frequent recalibration compared to other torque wrench types.
• Bi-directional Measurement: The pointer moves clockwise or counter-clockwise, allowing for torque measurement in both directions.
• Palm-Fit Handle: Designed for comfortable use, the palm-fit handle localizes force, enhancing accuracy during operation.

Applications

The 2955N Beam Torque Wrench is suitable for a wide range of tasks requiring accurate fastener tightening. Common applications include:

• Automotive Maintenance: Ideal for engine components, spark plugs, wheel lugs, and other critical fasteners on vehicles and motorcycles where precise torque is essential.
• Industrial Assembly: Ensures components are assembled to exact specifications in manufacturing and industrial settings.
• General Equipment Repair: Used for machinery, appliances, and other equipment to prevent under or over-tightening of bolts and nuts.
• Delicate Fastener Work: Its accuracy makes it suitable for applications with lower torque specifications, such as those found in camshaft caps.

Benefits

• Ensures Precision: Achieve accurate fastener tightening to manufacturer specifications, which helps prevent damage and enhances the safety and longevity of assembled components.
• Long-Term Reliability: The robust design, free from complex internal mechanisms, minimizes wear and tear, contributing to extended tool life.
• Cost-Effective Accuracy: Offers a reliable and accurate torque measurement solution without the higher cost associated with more complex digital or click-type wrenches.
• Simple Operation: Provides a straightforward, direct visual reading of applied torque, making it easy to use for both professionals and enthusiasts.
• Reduced Calibration Needs: Due to its inherent design, this beam torque wrench maintains calibration well, often only requiring a simple zero adjustment before use, unlike tools with internal springs that may require more frequent service.
