What is a torque wrench?

\r\n\r\n

A torque wrench is a precision tool used to measure and control the amount of force applied to a fixing, such as a nut or bolt. Every nut and bolt in your vehicle has a specified torque value to ensure proper fastening. Using a torque wrench is essential when working on critical areas such as the engine, gearbox, drivetrain, or suspension system, where accuracy is key.

\r\n\r\n

Why is this important? If a bolt isn’t tightened enough, it can work loose over time, causing potential damage or failure. On the other hand, overtightening can lead to stripped threads or broken components, resulting in costly repairs.

Why choose a torque wrench from halfords?

\r\n\r\n

Torque wrenches are more expensive than standard wrenches because they’re calibrated for precision and built to meet strict standards. When purchasing a torque wrench, keep in mind that it’s sold as the wrench only, so you’ll need a set of compatible sockets or drivers if you don’t already have them.
