Torque Wrench Basics

Executive Summary by Jason Miller, Re-written by Mike Steven

The better way to apply the correct amount of foot pounds of torque is to use an accurate torque wrench. There are several different types of torque wrenches available out there. One type is the torque wrench with a dial indicator built into it. The dial indicates how many foot lbs of torque is being applied. Dial types are generally more accurate and easier to read. This torque wrench makes a clicking sound when the preset torque is reached. The display shows the precise foot lbs of torque. For most garage mechanics and home owners, the clicking type torque wrench is the best choice. Next time, you need to tighten the nuts on your boat trailer, put down the impact wrench and grab a torque wrench.
