Product Information

Full details

This Laser Tools Pre-Set Torque Wrench (9176) is designed for automotive professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to precisely tighten wheel nuts and bolts to a specific torque. Its key benefit is ensuring correct torque application, preventing over-tightening or under-tightening, which can lead to component damage or loose wheels. A caveat is its fixed 120 Nm setting, making it unsuitable for applications requiring different torque values. The wrench features a 1/2" drive, a fixed 120 Nm setting, a 350mm length, and an integrated double-ended 17 x 19mm flip socket made from Chrome Vanadium.

FAQs

What is the exact torque setting for this wrench?

This wrench is pre-set to 120 Nm and is non-adjustable.

Can I use this wrench to loosen wheel nuts?

It can be used for loosening, but caution is advised. Do not exceed 140 Nm when using it for removal to prevent potential damage to the torque mechanism. For very tight nuts, a dedicated breaker bar is recommended.

What size sockets are included?

The integrated flip socket is double-ended, providing both 17mm and 19mm sizes.

Is this tool suitable for all vehicles?

It is suitable for vehicles that require a wheel nut torque of 120 Nm. Always consult your vehicle's manual to confirm the correct torque specification.

How do I know when I have reached the correct torque?

The wrench will produce an audible 'click' and a slight release of tension when the pre-set torque of 120 Nm is reached. Stop applying force immediately upon hearing the click.

What is the drive size of this torque wrench?

The drive size is 1/2 inch (1/2").

Can the torque setting be adjusted?

No, this is a pre-set torque wrench and its torque value cannot be adjusted.

Troubleshooting

Wrench does not 'click' at the expected torque.

Ensure you are applying smooth, steady force. If the fastener is already at or above 120 Nm, the click may not occur or may happen immediately. If trying to loosen a very tight fastener, you may exceed the tool's removal limit (140 Nm) without reaching a click. Use a breaker bar for loosening. Always verify the actual torque applied with a calibrated torque wrench if precision is critical.

The flip socket feels loose or wobbly.

Check that the socket is correctly seated and flipped into position. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the connection. If the issue persists, the socket may be worn and require replacement.

Rust or corrosion visible on the tool.

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. Apply a light coat of tool oil to protect against further corrosion. Store in a dry place.
