Torque Wrenches

Mountz offers a variety of torque wrenches with different shapes, sizes and torque delivery mechanism. Conventional wrenches click when torque is reached, dial wrenches accurately measure torque and cam and break-over style wrenches prevent over torque. Here is a brief rundown of the wrench styles that Mountz offers.

	Dial Wrenches Typically used as a quality control instrument to verify or monitor torque. However, some customers find them a resourceful production tool.			Break-Over Wrenches Typically deflect 20-90 degrees on torque delivery, thus indicating torque has been reached. Limits torque applied & selection of end fittings.
	Electronic Wrenches Available in torque and torque/angle models used for production, auditing, joint validation as well as fastener testing. With and without memory.			Click Wrenches Click wrenches are the most widely used torque product in the world. Variety of models available.
	Cam-Over Wrenches Perfect for maintenance and production applications where over-torque conditions are not tolerated. Eliminates overtorquing.			Insulated Wrenches For use on electrical systems. Reduces possibility of shorting or shock.

	Weld Stud Test Tool A simple way to test the shear torque of weld studs. Ideal tool for the automotive and appliance industry.

There are three basic 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.

Click Wrenches typically emit a loud audible "click" when the set torque is reached. Most click type wrenches break about 3 degrees after set torque is reached and then become positive. This positive action can cause over-torque conditions. Proper use and maintaining is required so that operators stop pulling the moment the click sound is heard or felt.

Break-Over Wrenches are essential to limiting the amount of torque applied to an assembly or fastening. Break-over torque wrenches, typically deflect 20-90 degrees on torque delivery, thus indicating torque has been reached. Many break-over wrenches require manual resetting, while others have an automatic resetting feature.

Dial Wrenches are robust and durable. Dial wrenches are typically used as a quality control instrument to verify or monitor torque. However, some customers find them a resourceful production tool.

Cam-Over Wrenches are perfect for maintenance and production applications where over-torque conditions are not tolerated. Each cam-over wrench utilizes a ball and lobe design allowing the wrench to slip free when torque is reached, eliminating the possibility of over-torque. Cam-over wrenches are non-length dependent and effectively take the guesswork out of torque delivery. The use of cam-over wrenches takes operator influence out of the torque equation and offers more accurate and repeatable results than a standard click type wrench.
