The slipping release mechanism and the torque lock function for deactivating the torque function make Wera’s new Safe Torque torque wrench special. In order to avoid over-tightening of screws, the Wuppertal tool specialists have developed the Safe-Torque, a torque wrench that stands out from the rest. The focus is on tangible added value for daily use by craftsmen and ambitious do-it-yourselfers.
The new functions of Wera’s Safe Torque
The slipping trigger mechanism prevents the set torque value from being exceeded if too much force is used. Small release and return angles ensure that the Safe-Torque does its job effectively as a torque wrench even in difficult application scenarios. After simply setting and securing the desired torque, between two and twelve newton meters, the torque wrench provides haptic and acoustic feedback.The torque lock feature allows the torque feature to be turned off. This means that the torque wrench can also be used as a standard ratchet with high loosening torques purely as a ratchet. This enables risk-free screw loosening.
The Safe-Torque for many uses
Wera’s Safe-Torque is for many uses. This is also reflected in the fact that once the target torque has been reached, the release angle is only 30 degrees. In addition, a low return angle of five degrees is made possible by the fine toothing with 72 teeth. This makes it easy to work in confined spaces – whether with controlled clockwise or anti-clockwise tightening, with or without torque.Wera’s Safe Torque torque wrench is now available in two versions in the reichelt online shop: with a 1/4″ square drive for use with nuts and with a 1/4″ hexagon drive for use with bits.
The torque wrench becomes a real all-rounder thanks to sets that contain the respective bits for the square drive and the hexagon drive.
