Torque wrenches
( number of products: 11 )Torque wrench for wheels - precise bolt tightening
What should you pay attention to when choosing a torque wrench? Most importantly, the torque range of the tool. For safety and to be ready for various types of vehicles arriving for repairs or servicing, it’s worth having access to a wide range of torque wrenches.
When looking for this type of tool, it’s also important to consider its accuracy. Obviously, there are no torque wrenches with 100% tightening precision - that’s simply not possible. But it’s good when the tool offers tightening accuracy within just a few percent.
How to correctly tighten connections using a torque wrench for wheels? It’s very simple - first, set the torque value by rotating the ring to the desired setting. The value can be read from the scale.
At the end of the handle of the torque wrench, there is a lock - a safety feature that allows you to lock the selected torque setting in place.
The material of the tool is also important. For example, CrV steel - chromium-vanadium steel - ensures the tool will withstand years of use in a car service. There’s no risk of corrosion, oxidation, abrasion, or other damage that could affect its condition.

Why is a torque wrench necessary in a professional car service?
You probably already know this, but here’s a reminder :)
A torque wrench for wheels is necessary for all tasks that require a specific torque value. In general - wherever you work with steel or aluminum components.
Example - tightening bolts in the cylinder head. Or assembling interior or body parts. These are tasks that must be carried out with the highest precision. Or studs in wheels - there’s no room for mistakes here. One overtightened bolt can lead to serious material damage. That’s why in such cases, a torque wrench is essential - one that works with proper accuracy.
It’s also a good idea to have a torque chart and to follow recommended values - because each car model has different requirements. Such data is easy to find on the market. Just tightening “until it clicks” isn’t enough :) The risk of costly damage is simply too high.
