Good for gripping most shapes and materials.

Grip paper, film, and thin plastic.

Check how much force a part can take before it bends, stretches, or breaks.

Housing is plastic.

These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy.

Measure the tension of wire and filament without pausing your operation.

The large dial makes these gauges easy to read. They measure tension force as well as weight.

Apply your load directly to the top of these gauges to measure compression force.

Take tension and compression measurements at 0.1% accuracy—the highest accuracy of all our force gauges.

Read tension and compression measurements with a glance—these gauges have three color-coded indicator lights to show you if a part is at your desired force. Red means the force is too high, orange means too low, and green is just right.

Safely view your tension force measurements on a handheld receiver up to 450 ft. away when moving bulk material with cranes and hoists.

Calculate how hard it is to peel tape off a surface, separate the layers within a laminate, or unfasten a hook and loop.

Check that your products have the right balance of grip and slip. For quality control, these testers are commonly used to measure friction generated by packaging materials such as plastic film and cardboard.

Determine if an adhesive or an epoxy creates a strong enough bond on a surface.

Calibrate these sensors to your desired capacity to measure tension, compression, or both. Also known as load cells, they measure and track the forces of your equipment by converting them into electrical signals.

Already calibrated, these sensors are ready to use right out of the box.

Monitor torque as you apply it—these testers mount between your torque tool and your fastener.

Measure the force of hand and non-impact electric torque screwdrivers to keep fasteners from failing due to under or overtightening.

Place your tool and the included square drive connector on the tester and turn.

Finger-tighten the three-jaw chuck onto a torque wrench or screwdriver, then twist either the gauge or tool to check the tool’s accuracy.

A dial shows how torque measurements change as you turn the driver. Use these tools to fasten to a specific torque, determine fastener torque specifications, and identify the torque required to loosen tightened fasteners.

A green light and a beep alert you when you've reached 90% of your set torque, and a steady tone sounds once you've hit your target. Set your torque in cNm, cm-Kg, or in.-lbs. and quickly check the LCD for real-time measurements along the way. A red light warns if you begin to overtighten.
