Yes, a torque wrench is a precision instrument (or tool). -If damaged or even slightly bent it may give incorrect readings. It should always be kept in a separate case or box, nut just flung in a toolbox with over heavy tools (as I sometimes see)

Who was the inventor of the torque wrench?
A torque wrench was invented by Conrad Bahr in 1918 .
What is a star headed torx wrench?
A Torx wrench is a different kind of wrench for special Torx screws. Same principle as Allen or Bristol wrench. Torx is designed so you can get more torque on the screw.
Which has a greater torque a perpendicular force applied at the end of a wrench handle or an equal force applied in the same direction near the middle of the handle?
the perpendicular force applied at the end of a wrench handle. Because torque= Fd / T = F d cos θ therefore the greater the distance the greater the torque. T=torque F=force d=distance cos=cosine θ=theta
What is mean by reverse torque testing?
Once the initial torque is applied to the fastener, a reverse torque test can be performed to make sure that the fastener has not loosened due to vibration or other conditions like material fatigue or yielding. So, lets say you tighten a bolt to 150inlb with a torque wrench. You should be able to take that torque wrench and apply 150inlb to the bolt in the reverse direction without the bolt loosening (reverse torque is gretaer in almost all cases, depending on materials because initial static friction must be overcome.)
Difference bw precision instruments and non precision instruments?
Precision instruments are those instruments which measures very accurately while non precision instruments are used for normal measuring of quantity.
Is a Strap Wrench precision instrument?
No, a strap wrench is NOT a precision instrument. It is a loose strap connected to a handle for leverage.
Precision and non-precision measuring instrument?
precision instrument: caliper, micrometer non-precision measuring instrument: your hand, a piece of string
Does loosening a bolt with a torque wrench hurt the torque wrench?
yes
What is a precision instrument?
Precision means accuracy. A precision instrument is a top quality one that is super-accurate. You can get an instrument that will just do the job, or you can spend extra money and get a precision instrument that will be perfect. Many measuring devices are precision instruments because they must be totally accurate.
What is the difference between torque wrench and socket wrench?
The socket wrench is one among the system of wrenches that departs the wrench handle from the wrench that engages the fastener. Whereas, the torque wrench are the torque indicating socket wrench handle. When it is used properly, that could help you calculate the torque amount while fastening using the wrench. It also limits the amount of torque which is applied on material.
What does the precision of an instrument determine?
the answer is you have to use the right instrument on somthing to get the right answer
Who was the inventor of the torque wrench?
A torque wrench was invented by Conrad Bahr in 1918 .
What type of torque wrench has a rod that moves right or left as torque is applied?
A 'beam style' torque wrench.
If you add an exton to your torque wrench does it change the torque?
as long as your extension is 90 degrees from the handle it will not affect your torque wrench. if you use a super long torque wrench you may lose a little torque in the extension it self but should not affect torque. an extension affecting the wrench in lenght like a crows foot will affect torque as long as your extension is 90 degrees from the handle it will not affect your torque wrench. if you use a super long torque wrench you may lose a little torque in the extension it self but should not affect torque. an extension affecting the wrench in lenght like a crows foot will affect torque
What are the types of runway?
visual runways, non-precision instrument runways, and precision instrument runways
Can you use a torque wrench in both directions?
Yes, you can use a torque wrench in both directions.
What does a mechanic use to tighten a car wheel?
A torque wrench, usually a power torque wrench
