Frequently Asked Questions
Should I store the wrench at the 250 ft-lb setting?
Never. Always unwind the handle to the lowest setting (25 ft-lbs) to release tension on the internal spring and maintain accurate calibration.
Can I add a cheater pipe to the handle for extra leverage?
No, extending the handle alters the pivot point, destroys torque accuracy, and can permanently damage the wrench mechanism.
