| “Click” wrenches are the most widely used torque product in the world. When the set torque is reached, the tool typically emits a loud audible “click.” The operator can feel the impulse from the tool and most break about 3 degree after set torque is reached and then become positive. This
positive action can cause over-torque conditions. Proper use and training is required so that operators stop pulling the moment the click sound is heard or felt. Resetting of the tool takes place when the hand pressure is released. Work can then immediately continue on the next fastener.
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.
