Key Features

• One-Way Design for Enhanced Durability: The unique one-way design, featuring a push-through square drive, prevents the wrench from being used as a breaker bar, safeguarding its internal calibration and extending tool life.
• High-Contrast, Easy-Read Markings: High-contrast laser markings with a reverse window design reduce glare, ensuring clear and immediate readability of torque settings in various lighting conditions.
• Secure and Ergonomic Grip: A rubber overmold lock ring provides superior grip and comfort, while a detent-style lock collar prevents accidental changes to the torque setting during operation.
• Robust Protection: Protective covers on the head and handle, coupled with an asymmetric design of internal components, contribute to increased durability and resistance in harsh workshop conditions.
• Precision and Compliance: This wrench offers an accuracy of ±4% in the right-hand direction and ±6% in the left-hand direction from 20-100% of its capacity, meeting ASME B107 standards. It includes an NIST traceable certification and is proudly Made in USA.
• Audible and Tactile Feedback: The click-type mechanism provides clear audible and tactile feedback when the preset torque value is reached, preventing over-tightening.
