These tools are particularly important for applying accurate and consistent torque, especially in safety-critical applications or precision work. They are commonly used in automotive shops, assembly and repair facilities, or in industry.
Torque tools are usually equipped with a scale or display that shows the applied torque. Some advanced models even have an audible or visual warning when the desired torque is reached.
Using torque tools is important to avoid over- or under-torquing, which can damage fasteners or other components. They also help to ensure work safety and prevent accidents.
When using torque tools, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly and to calibrate the tool regularly to ensure correct measurements.
