## Overview

The TEKTON 1/4 Inch Drive Dual-Direction Click Torque Wrench (TRQ21101) delivers precise torque control from 10 to 150 in-lb with a 72-tooth ratchet head that works both clockwise and counterclockwise. Its spring-loaded collar locks settings securely, while an audible and tactile click signals when the preset torque is reached, preventing overtightening. Built with durable metal construction and shipped pre-calibrated, this compact 8.8-inch wrench comes with a zipper case and torque conversion chart, making it an essential, battery-free tool for professionals and enthusiasts aiming for flawless fastening every time.

## Description

Calibrated to an accuracy of +/ 4% in the clockwise direction and +/ 6% in the counterclockwise direction, the TEKTON 1/4 in. Drive Click Torque Wrench lets you work with confidence, eliminating guessing and the common tendency to overtighten fasteners. Correctly tightening fasteners to a manufacturer's torque specifications ensures parts are properly secured without being damaged. Simple and easy to use, this wrench measures torque in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. To measure torque, turn the springloaded adjustment collar to the desired setting (inch pounds or Newton meters) and release to lock in place. Tighten the fastener in a slow and controlled motion. When the preset torque value is reached, a reliable mechanical operation inside the handle produces a click you can hear and feel, alerting you to stop applying force. Built for consistent performance and years of dependable service, the mechanical design doesn’t need batteries, and the steel and aluminum construction has no internal plastic parts to wear out.IMPORTANT: This wrench is shipped precalibrated and ready to use. To help maintain calibration, store at its lowest setting of 10 in.lb./1.1 Nm when not in use. Be sure to read and understand the operator's manual, including all safety information, before first use.Specifications:Range - in.-lb.: 10-150 in.-lb.Range - Nm: 1.1-16.9 NmIncrement: 1 in.-lb.

Review: Great little tool! - Instruction are clear and easy to understand - This is JUST a torque wrench - does not come with any attachments - - In my opinion, it's best for use with bolts up to about 1/2" - if possible, get the bolt or equipment manufacture's specs on max torque. My purchase was for M8 (3/8") bolts at 12Nm One CAN order a wide variety of accessories (personal experience), and, as it's a standard 1/4 inch drive, most users will likely already have most everything that will be needed Once the tension is set, ( up to 150 inch/pounds [in-lb] or 16.9 Newtons/Meter [Nm] - ) there is no need to "read" anything - When the set torque is reached, there is a slight "bump" that is felt through the handle. (if your hearing is better than mine, you may hear a "click") The instructions suggest - wisely - to practice a bit to "get the feel" of proper operation. Personally, as I am getting old and my eyesight is getting bad, I prefer this method - - Because I don't have to struggle to read a scale or a display to know when I've reached the desired torque. (Being a bit of a gorilla, I have a tendency to snap bolts off - especially small bolts (1/2" is "small" to me) - so this tool is a great damage saver) Setting the desired torque is also very simple. Although some folks who are not familiar with the technique may have a short learning curve, it's just a matter of turning a knob until marks line up. The instructions have very clear pictures. The settings are in both ASE and Metric, so it is not necessary to mess around with conversion tables or calculators - although a conversion table IS included with the instructions. One precaution though. This is an all meta tool - if using on electrical equipment (which is my usage) it would be wise to wrap electrical tape around any accessory that may be at risk - and keep it in good shape. Shock hazard aside, a short circuit can cause extreme heat and serious burns. This precision instrument comes, as it should, in a nice hard fabric storage case with a tight zipper - the instructions fold nicely in the case - the tool is held in place in a pocket on one end, a Velcro strap on the handle. This case comes in a plastic bag and in a nice sturdy cardboard box - I store this combination in my home - not the garage or tool box - as befits a fine scientific instrument. One last thought - described in the instructions - my grandfather, a custom jeweler and watch maker, taught me that springs - and this device depends on a spring - springs have "memory" - that is, if left wound up, they loose their temper (as if they got angry and being cooped up too long) and 'forget' what they are supposed to do. SOOOoooo, always change the setting to the lowest point when puting this tool aside - especially when putting it into storage. Otherwise, it will loose accuracy over time.
Review: Nice Torque Wrench for the Cost - Accurate and Handy - It's really nice to have a torque wrench for lighter needs and this one is perfect for it. I have to replace the oil pan on my wife's X3 and they are definitely bolts that cannot be too tight (they're aluminum one time use bolts). This was perfect for my needs. I have a the 3/8" Tekton and 1/4" Tekton wrenches and both are really handy, seem accurate, and are of good quality. They legitimately do feel well mad and have a positive "click" when you reach the assigned torque setting, and both are easy to adjust and read. Overall, these seem to be really nice for the price and I'm very happy with them both.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have an nist certificate?**
A: If you're expecting a NIST primary standard calibration certificate, expect to spend more than $50 for a torque wrench - upward of 10 times that. Those that would need that kind of certification would be dealing with things like the space probes and manned spacecraft, nuclear subs (Subsafe program) nuclear weapons and military stealth aircraft -- not your automobile valve cover or clutch spring screws.

**Q: I dont get an audible click, it just breaks free (tactile) at the right torque..should i get a click ?**
A: Yes, you should get an audible click. The description in the listing says "Wrench emits a click that can be heard and felt when the preset value is reached. I also went to Tekton's website and looked up this torque wrench (TRQ21101) and they say 
 "When the wrench's preset torque value is reached, a simple and reliable mechanical operation inside the handle produces a click you can hear and feel, alerting you to stop applying force".

**Q: where do you set 71in lbs?**
A: Hold the lock collar down and turn lower handle until the inch pound marker reaches 70 in lbs and is aligned with “0” on the tenths row(top row of sleave collar).  Next, rotate the tenths row to “1” centered with the vertical of the main scale.

**Q: Does this have a warranty? Mine is way out of calibration and i cant safely use it on my carbon fiber bike anymore.**
A: Daniel R., Look in your records if purchase from (Amazon) on item TEKTON 1/4 IN. Drive-Direction Click Torque Wrench ( 10-150 in.-lb.) TRQ21101. Work with ( Amazon ) and good luck in getting a new tool or your refund......
