| “Cam-Over” wrenches utilize a ball and lobe design that allows the tool to slip free when torque is reached. Even if the application of force is repeated, the preset torque value won’t be exceeded, eliminating the possibility of over-torque. These tools are perfect for
maintenance and production applications where over-torque conditions are not tolerated. The use of cam-over wrenches takes the operator influence out of the torque equation and offers more accurate and repeatable results than a standard ‘click’ type wrench.
There are three styles in which the wrench can signal achieving torque, either by a “click,” “break,” or “slip.” Each of three wrench styles has a specific purpose and utility. When you decide to spend the money for one, it’s
important that you select the one that will do the job properly and not generically.
