Why do you need a digital torque wrench?

It doesn’t matter whether you’re working on heavy machinery, a truck, car, bicycle, or anything else, wrenching down every nut and bolt as tight as you can get them to go is a recipe for disaster. Many people assume that fasteners need to be as tight as possible. However, this can cause all sorts of problems. Many nuts and bolts are not designed to be tightened past a certain point. Overtightening them can cause parts to lock up, fail, be out of alignment, get damaged or worse.

So, how are you supposed to know when your bolt or nut is adequately tight? Luckily there’s a perfect tool for that - a torque wrench. In fact, there are many types of torque wrenches on the market. Incol digital torque tools are affordable, extremely accurate and in most cases the perfect solution.

An Incol electronic torque wrench is a specialised tool that is used to make sure that components are not under or overtightened. Mechanical tasks are easier and more precise with digital torque wrenches as they provide you with a digital display that shows the exact amount of torque being applied. All devices are equipped with an LCD display, indicator lights and a buzzer which alerts the operator when the desired torque or angle has been reached.

Incol electronic torque wrenches are pre-calibrated and allow you to set torque and angle levels so you can quickly shift from one task to another with the push of a button.

The Incol range is available in several configurations – angle wrenches, mini-wrenches, screwdrivers and adapters covering a range from virtually zero to 2000Nm. Using a digital torque wrench you can expect an accuracy of +/- 3% which is guaranteed from 20% to 100% of full scale. 

Incol electronic torque tools work in both clockwise and anti-clockwise direction. You can select the measurable unit as newton metres, inch pounds or degrees on angle models. All models have auto shut-off when left idle for extended periods.
