How often should I calibrate my torque wrench, and can I calibrate the torque wrench myself?
Torque wrenches should be calibrated annually or after every 5,000 cycles at a certified calibration laboratory. However, for critical or high-precision applications, more frequent calibration may be required. DIY calibration is not recommended.
How can I ensure the click sound is working properly?
The click sound indicates that the roller bearing and roller pin have engaged. Use the wrench in a quiet environment for better audibility. If the click sound is not audible or inconsistent, it is advisable to contact a qualified service center.
Can I use different sockets or adapters with this torque wrench?
You can use different sockets or adapters with your torque wrench as long as they are compatible in terms of drive size (e.g., 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", etc.). Ensure that the socket or adapter has an equal or higher torque rating than the torque wrench.
What are the advantages of a high tooth count torque wrench?
High tooth count torque wrenches offer increased precision and smoother operation, reducing the risk of overtightening or undertightening, and providing a wider torque range for versatile applications.
What should I pay attention to when using a high-tooth-count torque wrench?
With higher tooth, the internal mechanism becomes more intricate, increasing susceptibility to damage from mishandling/excessive force. These wrenches may require a low dust, minimal oil contamination environment to ensure accuracy and reliability.
