Description The Edelrid Torque Wrench is a tool used to apply a specific torque to a fastener such as a nut, bolt, or lag screw. It is usually in the form of a socket wrench with special internal mechanisms. The Edelrid Torque Wrench is used where the tightness of screws and bolts is crucial. It allows the operator to set the torque applied to the fastener so it can be matched to the specifications for a particular application. This permits proper tension and loading of all parts. A torque wrench is a tool used to tighten nuts and bolts to a predetermined torque value. This instrument allows fasteners to be tightened to the proper tension, helping avoid damage from over tightening or joints coming apart from under tightening. This means applying the correct torque measure is important for safety, assembly and performance of equipment. Torque is the measure of how much a force on an object causes it to rotate, with the pivot point being the axis the object rotates on. Torque is measured in either lb·ft (pound-foot), lb·in (pound inch), or N·m (newton meter).
