Standard Torque Wrench

A standard torque wrench is a tool used to apply a specific amount of torque to a fastener, such as a bolt or nut. It typically consists of a handle, a mechanism for setting the desired torque level, and a head for attaching sockets or other tools. The handle is usually elongated and may have a grip for comfortable use. The mechanism for setting torque often involves a calibrated scale or a digital display, allowing users to adjust the wrench to the desired torque value.

Torque wrenches are essential in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, construction, and manufacturing, where precise torque application is critical for safety and performance. They help ensure that bolts are tightened to the correct specifications, preventing issues like overtightening, which can damage components, or undertightening, which can lead to loosening and failure.

There are different types of torque wrenches available, including beam type, click type, and digital torque wrenches, each with its own advantages and ideal applications. The choice of torque wrench depends on factors such as the required torque range, accuracy, and the specific needs of the task at hand.
