Torque wrenches help to tighten threaded joints of the car applying a specific torque. These tools not only enable highly precise mounting of fasteners, but also help to prevent over-tightening that may result in thread damages.

Types of torque wrenches

Beam-type with an indicator. They feature simple design and are inexpensive. They have an indicator beam which shows the magnitude of the applied torque. While working, you’ll have to monitor the movement of this element all the time, which might be quite challenging if the joint is in a hard to reach place.
Click. The handles of such tools are fitted with a control mechanism which actuates when the preset torque is reached. Before starting the work you should set the desired magnitude and when it is reached, the tool “clicks”.
With an electronic indicator. They are fitted with an LCD display which shows the readings. When the maximum permissible value is reached, the sound signal is heard. These tools are characterised by high accuracy but are rather expensive.

Torque wrenches: maintenance tips

Before using the tool, read the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not loosen over-tightened or corroded fasteners in the car with this tool. In this case it is better to use a ring spanner or a special agent.
Do not overload the tool.
Prevent it from getting damaged or contaminated. Do not store the tools in a places where they can be exposed to moisture or high temperatures. Before putting a click torque wrench away, set it to zero.
Calibrate the tool not less than twice a year. It is better to have this work done by professional metrologists.
