When it comes to torque, there are two main types of impact wrenches: low torque and high torque. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and the best choice for a particular application depends on the desired outcome. New design handle is ergonomic and constructed from a soft grip material for comfort when using and enhanced grip Torque wrenches are most commonly available with ¼-, ⅜-, and ½-inch drives; the latter two sizes are the most popular and versatile for automotive applications. A ¼-inch drive is commonly found on power tools and works well on small engines (like landscape equipment) and plumbing and HVAC components. What are some factors to consider when choosing an impact wrench with the right amount of torque for your needs? Finally, it’s also worth considering how much space you have to work with. If you’re working in a tight space, you’ll need an impact wrench that has a smaller profile and is more compact.

This means the force applied to one kilogram as a result of gravitational acceleration: Show more The Expert: I’m a home improvement freelance writer with over a decade of experience in a variety of trades. I have used torque wrenches throughout my professional career in residential construction, as well as in my personal life working on vehicles. Most recently, I used my torque wrenches extensively while replacing the engine in my 1985 Ford F250. My work has appeared in Bob Villa, The Family Handyman, and The Spruce.

To perform most automotive work, you’ll need a wrench with a range of 10 to 150 foot-pounds or 10 to 200 inch-pounds (and the corresponding newton meter). A smaller range of around 10 to 80 foot-pounds is typically sufficient for plumbing or HVAC jobs. Drive size Digital: A digital torque wrench has an LCD screen that lets you set the torque value and registers the torque you’re applying to the fastener as you tighten. The wrench then notifies you when you reach your desired torque value in one or more ways: a beep, a vibration in the handle, a flashing light on the screen, or some combination thereof. A digital torque wrench is the most accurate and easiest to use but also usually the most expensive. Ideal for use by professionals such as plumbers, electricians, engineers, mechanics, construction workers as well as DIY enthusiasts

For most applications, a 400 nm torque wrench will be sufficient. However, if you’re working with particularly stubborn bolts or are worried about stripping them, you may want to consider a higher-powered model.Progressive LEDs provide an easy visual representation of torque progress allowing the user to more easily anticipate torque target
