A torque wrench is a specialized tool used to apply a specific amount of torque to a fastener, such as a bolt or nut. It ensures that the fastener is tightened to the manufacturer's specifications, which is crucial for safety and performance in mechanical applications. Torque wrenches come in various types, including click, beam, and digital models, each providing a way to measure and control the torque applied. Proper use of a torque wrench helps prevent over-tightening or under-tightening, which can lead to equipment failure.
A torque wrench was invented by Conrad Bahr in 1918 .
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.
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
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.)
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)
yes
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.

The recommended torque setting for a 5nm torque wrench is 5 newton-meters.
A 'beam style' torque wrench.
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
A torque wrench, usually a power torque wrench
Yes, you can use a torque wrench in both directions.
the most accurate calibrated torque wrench was using the TWT torque wrench tester products that produce by Stahlwille. Its also called transducer.

A torque wrench should not be used on any hitch type.
Use a torque wrench that is graduated in ft. lbs or do the math.
