Using a Torque Wrench

Signaling Mechanism

Signaling type torque wrenches incorporate a mechanism that warns the operator the moment they have reached a preset torque.

The Sensory Signaling Mechanism is a part of every S-model torque wrench. It functions entirely independently of the measuring element.

The sensory mechanism first sounds a distinct click, second, imparts a strong definite pulse to the hand the instant the preset desired torque is applied and third, may be read by sight.

Thus, through three senses, sight, sound, and feel, or through any one of the sensory impulses, the operator automatically releases his pull on the torque wrench.
