Opening-and-Closing Torque Testers for Caps and Knobs
Measure the twisting force needed to tighten or loosen caps and knobs with these torque testers. Four adjustable gripping posts clamp round and irregularly-shaped containers. Twist the top by hand to measure force or use it to calibrate your capping machine, so it applies the right amount of force in a production line. For the most accurate performance, the maximum torque you’re applying should fall near the middle of the tester’s torque range. If you accidentally exceed the torque range, these testers have overload protection to prevent damage to the measuring system.
View torque measurements, change operating modes, and switch units of measurement on the LCD screen. Store data on the microSD card, transfer it to your devices via Bluetooth or USB, or print using the DB9 cable. The I/O cable connects to controllers to operate other devices dependent on torque force readings.
Testers with a calibration certificate with test data traceable to NIST meet standards for accuracy.

High-Accuracy Torque Tool Testers
These testers have a digital display and are accurate to ±1%. Place your torque wrench or screwdriver onto the tester with the included square drive connector and turn. Testers display torque as it's measured and the maximum torque reached. They also show the first torque peak reached to ensure accurate readings when testing click-style wrenches. Use with hand tools only.
Note: The accuracy ratings do not apply to the lower 10% of the torque range.

Torque Tool Testers for Torque Screwdrivers
Measure the force of hand and non-impact electric torque screwdrivers to keep fasteners from failing due to under or overtightening. A chuck-like adapter simulates your fastener joint during testing. Return the fastener to its starting position with the press of a button to reduce time between tests. These testers record the first time you reach the maximum torque (peak down), the maximum torque (peak), and torque as it's measured (real-time). A track mode lets you monitor fluctuating torque. For quick pass/fail testing, these testers have programmable high/low set points with lights and an alarm. They include a calibration certificate with test data traceable to NIST that states they have passed tests for accuracy.
Testers that meet ISO 17025 have been checked in a laboratory that was evaluated for accuracy.
Use data acquisition software and a USB cable (each sold separately) to analyze results and connect to computers, laptops, or tablets that run on Microsoft Windows.

Data-Recording Torque Gauges
Use these gauges with changeable sensors and square-drive sockets (sold separately) to display, collect, and download torque readings. They display torque as it's measured and the maximum torque reached. Gauges can also be used to convert any hand-turned square drive tool into a precise torque-measuring tool. For the most accurate performance, the maximum torque you're applying should fall near the middle of the gauge's torque range.
Wrench-attachable sensors fit between your wrench and socket. Use with hand tools only.
Hand-turned sensors don't require a tool; place into your socket and turn them with your hand.
