Laser 5520 Torque Wrench 1/2"D 80 - 400Nm

Product Information

Kilopondometer is another unit of torque and energy, abbreviated as kp⋅m or kgm. This means the force applied to one kilogram as a result of gravitational acceleration: So, if you are looking for an impact wrench that can handle more demanding jobs, you should consider a higher torque rating that can generate up to 1000 Nm. How does the amount of torque impact a tool’s performance? The higher the torque, the more powerful the tool. Most of the 1/2-inch impact wrenches have a maximum torque of around 400 Nm. However, some 1/2-inch cordless models are designed for more demanding applications and can generate up to 600 Nm of torque. Specifications ½" push thru sq dr 60 - 300 Nm / 50 - 220lbs.ft Length: 593mm Weight: 1.42kgSupplied in blow moulded box

New Timestrip® Feature - Torque wrenches should be calibrated once a year as a minimum, more frequently in harsh environments and with high levels of usage. Timestrip® provides a visual indication that the wrench is due for re-calibration and has 3, 6, 9 and 12 month graduations Show more The Expert: I’m a home improvement freelance writer with over a decade of experience in a variety of trades. I have used torque wrenches throughout my professional career in residential construction, as well as in my personal life working on vehicles. Most recently, I used my torque wrenches extensively while replacing the engine in my 1985 Ford F250. My work has appeared in Bob Villa, The Family Handyman, and The Spruce. Types of Torque Wrenches The ProTronic® Plus retains all the features available in the ProTronic® standard versions with more advanced features included When choosing an impact wrench, remember a few factors to ensure you’re getting the right amount of torque for your needs. Material of the bolt- harder metals will require more torque to loosen, so if you’re working with particularly stubborn bolts, you’ll need an impact wrench with more power.Ideal for use by professionals such as plumbers, electricians, engineers, mechanics, construction workers as well as DIY enthusiasts If you need a car to tow a trailer or caravan, you’ll need the extra strength of a high torque engine to help pull the extra weight. What are some factors to consider when choosing an impact wrench with the right amount of torque for your needs?

The unique TimeStrip® gives a visual indication that the wrench is due for re-calibration to allow you to keep your tool working at an optimum level Also diesel engines tend to be turbocharged. A turbocharger helps produce more pressure inside the cylinder, which again increases torque. Diesel fuel is also ignited by compression, rather than the spark plugs that petrol relies on; this, combined with diesel’s higher energy content, also contributes to its punchy torque performance. For example, if someone plies a force of one Newton on a lever at a distance of one meter from the fulcrum, they would be said to be applying a torque of one Newton-metre. Similarly, if an object has a rotational speed of one meter per second, it would be said to rotate at a rate of one Newton-metre per second. Generally speaking, the larger and more powerful the impact wrench, the higher the torque output will be. A mid-sized impact wrench for most general home improvement projects will usually suffice. Depending on the wrench, the torque range can be anywhere from 0 to 300 foot-pounds, 0 to 1,000 inch-pounds, or 0 to 400 newton meters. To perform most automotive work, you’ll need a wrench with a range of 10 to 150 foot-pounds or 10 to 200 inch-pounds (and the corresponding newton meter). A smaller range of around 10 to 80 foot-pounds is typically sufficient for plumbing or HVAC jobs. Drive size
