Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to zero out the wrench after use?
Yes, always return the wrench to its lowest setting (10 ft-lbs) before storing to prevent the internal spring from taking a set and losing calibration.
Can I use this torque wrench to loosen bolts?
No, torque wrenches are precision measuring instruments. Using them as a breaker bar to loosen stuck fasteners will ruin the internal calibration.
