Description

 What is a Ratchet Type Torque Wrench?

A Ratchet Type Torque Wrench is a precision hand tool used to tighten nuts and bolts to a specific torque value. It ensures that fasteners are neither too tight nor too loose.

How Does It Work?

The required torque value is set on the wrench scale.

When tightening a bolt, the wrench applies force.

Once the preset torque is reached, the wrench gives a “click” sound or slight release movement.

This indicates that the correct torque has been applied.

The ratchet mechanism allows continuous tightening without removing the tool from the fastener.

Important Points

Used in automotive, mechanical, and industrial applications.

Prevents bolt damage and ensures safety.

Should be calibrated regularly for accuracy.

Always reset to minimum value after use

Available in different drive sizes (3/8″, 1/2″, ¾” and 1” etc.).

A ratchet type torque wrench ensures accurate and safe fastening in professional work.

Ratchet Type Torque Wrench – Used For

A Ratchet Type Torque Wrench is used to tighten nuts and bolts to a specific and accurate torque value.

 Main Uses:

Automotive work – Engine assembly, wheel nuts, cylinder head bolts
