If I had a business that could write it off, it would be worth investing in, but for what I’d be using it… it’s not worth more than $120-$150 Canadian. No no… I saw that… but a Torque Wrench isn’t worth $500 to me. ALso see this Dewalt/SBD – make this stuff too please and go a head and use the 20V battery system when you do.

Or and this would be super duper nifty – beep once at _ ft lbs, then dual beep or tone at _ degrees past.Įither Way – I’d be interested in one. If I have a device that will run a bolt a 6 inch bolt down – and I can ratchet on it till I beep out at _ ft lbs (N-m, Kip-cm whatever) then I’d also like to be able to set another marker for _ degrees. Regardless of bolt, use of threadlock, grease, oil, dirty threads, etc.Īnyway – point is. Thread pitch, bolt diamter and angular displacement is the most accurate applied fastening force method. So they have to be final passed using angular displacement. and thread lock on a bolt causes very inaccurate torque readings. Reasoning you see more and more of this in shop manuals is because more and more bolts are being used with light thread lock. Now not to rant on how this doesn’t make the bolt a TTY use but that’s a longer rant. Many bolts on a newer car are meant to be turned _ ft lbs, and then _ Degrees to final set. That would be super nifty on most new veichles. Have it also count your angle displacement too. One thing they need to include – or might as well include for all the extra bits in the box. I can see some of our hangar tool rooms looking at these or counterparts. I like the idea and if I did alot of work I would want something like this. Someone else makes one on the market now but the name escapes me. In the meantime, here’s a video of Milwaukee’s NPS19 tool show presentation, courtesy of our friends at Coptool: Pricing: $599 for the bare tool, $749 for the kitįull specs and details won’t be available until the official press releases go out, but I thought you’d still appreciate a brief teaser post. Calibration should be done once a year, as is true for other torque wrenches. It’s also interesting to note that Milwaukee has said they are setting up for in-house calibration service for fast turnaround. Thanks to the computerized controls and digital display, Milwaukee says that you can use 4 different types of torque units with the torque wrench: Metal = strength, which is why you can use it to set final torques of up to 100 ft-lbs and 150 ft-lbs for the 3/8″ and 1/2″ drive torque wrenches, respectively.

There’s overmolding and some plastic parts, but the tool largely features a metal housing. What you should notice in images of the cross-section is that the new Milwaukee motorized torque wrench has a metal body. Milwaukee displayed a cut-away of the motorized torque wrench at NPS19. Milwaukee will offer two sizes of M12 Fuel digital torque wrenches – 3/8″ and 1/2″. One-Key connectivity allows for reporting.
