Product Information
Full details
The Toolzone Elite High Range Adjustable 1/2"" DR Torque Wrench (SS031) is designed for automotive professionals and serious DIYers who require precise torque application for critical fasteners. Its key benefit is delivering accurate and repeatable torque from 70 to 350 Nm, ensuring components are tightened to manufacturer specifications and preventing damage. A minor caveat is its specific torque range, which may not suit extremely low-torque applications. This wrench features a reversible ratchet head, audible click notification, and durable CR-V Alloy Steel construction, all housed in a BMC storage case for protection.

FAQs
What is the primary use case for this torque wrench?
This torque wrench is ideal for applications requiring precise torque settings, commonly found in automotive repair (engine work, wheel installation) and general mechanical assembly where fasteners must be tightened to specific values.
How do I know when I have reached the set torque?
The wrench produces a distinct audible 'click' and a slight release of tension when the preset torque value is achieved.
What is the torque range of this wrench?
The torque range is adjustable from 70 to 350 Newton-meters (Nm) or 50 to 250 Foot-Pounds (FT/LB).
Is this torque wrench suitable for left-hand threads?
While the ratchet head is reversible for loosening, the primary torque mechanism is designed for right-hand (clockwise) tightening. For consistent accuracy in left-hand applications, manual feel or a different tool might be considered.
How should I store the torque wrench?
It is recommended to store the wrench in its included BMC storage case. Crucially, always reset the torque setting to the lowest value (70 Nm) before storage to preserve the internal spring mechanism's accuracy.
What does VPA/GS Approved mean?
VPA/GS approval indicates that the product has been tested and certified by an accredited organization for safety and quality compliance according to German and European standards.
How often should I have my torque wrench calibrated?
For professional use, annual calibration is recommended. For occasional DIY use, checking calibration accuracy periodically or after any significant drop or impact is advisable.
Troubleshooting
Wrench not clicking at the set torque
Ensure the torque setting is correctly locked by pushing the locking nut forward. Verify the torque is within the wrench's 70-350 Nm range. If the issue persists, the wrench may require calibration.
Difficulty setting or locking the torque value
Check for any debris around the handle or locking nut. Ensure the locking nut is pulled fully forward before attempting to twist the handle. If resistance is too high, do not force it; clean and inspect the mechanism.
Inaccurate torque application
Confirm the correct units (Nm or FT/LB) are selected and the indicator is precisely aligned. Always reset the wrench to its lowest setting after use. For consistent accuracy, professional calibration is recommended annually or after significant impact.
Rusted or stiff mechanism
Clean the wrench exterior with a dry cloth. Avoid immersing in water. If the mechanism is stiff, apply a small amount of light machine oil to external moving parts and work the mechanism gently. Do not use penetrating oils inside the torque mechanism.

- Requires careful handling and calibration to maintain accuracy over time.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the wrench is clean and free of debris.
- To set a torque value, twist the handle grip until the desired Nm or FT/LB marking aligns with the indicator window on the handle.
- Pull the locking nut at the end of the handle forward to secure the setting.
- Attach the 1/2"" drive socket securely to the head.
Compatibility:
- This wrench uses a 1/2"" square drive, compatible with all standard 1/2"" drive sockets.
- Suitable for applications requiring torque between 70-350 Nm (50-250 FT/LB).
Care:
- After use, always reset the torque setting to the lowest value (70 Nm) to maintain spring integrity and accuracy.
- Clean the wrench with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Store the wrench in its provided BMC case to protect it from dust, moisture, and damage.
- Periodically check for calibration if used in professional settings.
