Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to reset the wrench after use?
Yes, always dial the wrench back to its lowest setting to prevent the internal spring from taking a set and losing its precision calibration.
Can I use this for loosening bolts?
No, click torque wrenches are measuring instruments. Using them as a breaker bar can severely damage the internal torque mechanism.
