    Attach a socket to the 1/4" square drive tip to turn hex nuts and hex head screws. The dial on these drivers shows how torque measurements change as you turn. Use to fasten to a specific torque, determine fastener torque specifications, and identify the torque required to loosen tightened fasteners. To use with screwdriver bits, add a bit adapter. Drivers come with a calibration certificate that is traceable to NIST and states the product has passed a test for accuracy.
    Note: The accuracy ratings do not apply to the lower 20% of the torque range.
    Memory Pointer—Drivers with memory pointer indicate the maximum torque reached.
    1/4" Female Square Drive in Handle—Drivers with 1/4" female square drive in handle allow you to attach a T-handle or ratchet to the end for extra leverage when applying high torque.

    High-Accuracy Torque Tool Gauges

    Accurate to within ±1%, these torque gauges are often used to check the accuracy of torque wrenches and screwdrivers on assembly lines. They come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy. To test, place your torque wrench or screwdriver onto the gauge with the included square drive connection and turn. These gauges display torque as it's measured and the maximum torque reached. For accuracy when testing click-style wrenches, they also show the first torque peak reached. They’re not for use with impact or pulse tools.
    Note: For the most accurate readings, the maximum torque you're applying should fall near the middle of the gauge's torque range.

    Portable gauges are lightweight and easy to move around your facility. Their touch-screen display makes it easier to navigate through different menus than gauges with a digital-screen display. To view data in a CSV file, pop out the gauge's SD card and plug it into your computer. You can also transfer data by connecting the gauge directly to your computer with the USB cord. To use these gauges with nonimpact power tools, they include at least one socket screw adapter. These gauges meet ISO 17025, so they’ve been checked in a laboratory that was evaluated for accuracy.

    Check the accuracy of torque wrenches and screwdrivers—place your tool onto the gauge with the included square drive connector and turn. The main pointer shows torque as it's measured; Gauges with memory pointers show the maximum torque reached. Use these gauges with hand tools only.
    Note: For the most accurate performance, the maximum torque you apply should fall near the middle of the gauge's torque range.

    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.

    Rotary Torque Gauges

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Torque Gauges. Rotary Torque Gauges.
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Torque Gauges. Rotary Torque Gauges.
    Monitor torque as you apply it—these gauges mount between your torque tool and your fastener. Engage the fastener to track both torque and the angle of rotation for each crank of your tool (snug torque) before you've reached the final torque. This gives you a better idea if fasteners are consistently tightened than measuring torque alone. These gauges are often used with nutrunners and click-style torque wrenches in the automotive and aerospace industries. Store up to 999 maximum torque (peak) and rotation values, including the date and time of each test, or transfer to your computer to view in an Excel file. CE marked, they meet European safety standards.
    For the most accurate readings, the maximum torque you're applying should fall near the middle of the gauge's torque range. They are not for use with impact tools.
    USB-B Connection—Gauges with a USB connection transfer data directly to your computer with the included cord. These gauges last up to 10 hours on a single charge.
    Bluetooth Connection—Gauges with a Bluetooth connection wirelessly transmit data to a computer as you measure. You can also remotely set snug torque, or when these gauges starting measuring the torque applied with each rotation. They last up to 8 hours on a single charge with Bluetooth on and 10 hours with it off.
