GEARWRENCH 85162 3/8-Inch Drive Preset Micrometer Torque Wrench
The GEARWRENCH 85162 3/8-Inch Drive Preset Micrometer Torque Wrench is a high-precision metric fastening tool engineered for repeatable torque verification on engine cylinder heads, transmission cases, and industrial machinery flanges. Delivering a primary torque scale range of 10 Nm to 50 Nm (7 ft-lbs to 37 ft-lbs) with a clockwise accuracy rating of ±3%, this tool features a 36-tooth teardrop ratchet head providing a 10-degree swing arc for tight mechanical clearances. Outfitted with a pull adjustment collar, a thin profile sealed head measuring 0.98 in. wide by 0.91 in. thick, alloy steel construction with a satin chrome finish, and a blow-molded case, this 2-76/100 pound wrench meets or exceeds ISO 6789 and ASME B107.300 standards.
Best Used For:
- Automotive Engine & Valve Cover Assembly: Torquing intake manifold bolts, valve cover fasteners, and oil pan screws to precise metric Newton-meter specifications.
- Industrial Machinery Assembly Lines: Executing repeated, verified torque applications across production line components using the micrometer pull-collar lock.
- Motorcycle & ATV Maintenance: Tightening delicate aluminum casing bolts and brake rotor fasteners within a 10 Nm to 50 Nm range without stripping threads.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- ±3% Clockwise Torque Accuracy: Certified accuracy rating from 20% to 100% of full scale ensures compliance with strict engineering tolerances.
- 36-Tooth Ratchet Mechanism: Robust teardrop head delivers a 10-degree swing arc to turn fasteners in tight or obstructed engine bays.
- Pull Adjustment Collar Locking System: Spring-loaded collar allows fast torque setting changes and locks the setting securely to prevent accidental drift during use.
- Thin Profile Sealed Teardrop Head: Compact 0.98 in. wide by 0.91 in. thick head profile accesses confined spaces while keeping dirt and shop fluid out of internal gears.
- High-Visibility Dual Metric/SAE Scale: Stamped primary scale readings in Newton-meters (Nm) paired with alternate foot-pound (ft-lb) conversions.
- ISO 6789 & ASME Standard Compliance: Fully certified to meet rigorous international industrial torque manufacturing standards.
