Torque Wrench Gedore 6278790 Mechanical

The Gedore 6278790 Mechanical Torque Wrench is a compact, hand-operated tool designed for precise torque application in confined workspaces such as automotive repair and utility vehicle maintenance. Manufactured from Gedore vanadium steel (31CrV3) with a chrome-plated finish, it meets DIN 3122 and ISO 3315 standards and accepts hand sockets and accessories with a square drive according to DIN 3120 - D 20 / ISO 1174 using a locking pin.

Advantages

This mechanical torque wrench features a fine-toothed, non-slip metal disc with 72 teeth that provides a robust mechanism and a short return angle of 5 degrees for quick, accurate adjustments in tight spaces. The push-fit tube handle improves handling and control, while the durable vanadium steel construction and chrome plating ensure long service life and corrosion resistance. The clear scale allows straightforward reading of torque settings for reliable repeatability.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance in tight engine bays
• Service and repair of utility vehicles
• Precision torque tasks requiring DIN/ISO-compliant square-drive sockets

How to use

Select a compatible hand socket that matches the square drive (DIN 3120 - D 20 / ISO 1174) and secure it with the locking pin. Set the required torque on the wrench using the clear scale. Place the socket on the fastener and apply steady turning force until the wrench indicates that the preset torque is reached. Use the fine-toothed ratchet for controlled adjustments in confined spaces and reverse the direction as needed. After use, return the setting to the lowest value for storage to preserve the calibration.

Usage recommendations

For accurate and reliable results, periodically check calibration against a certified torque tester, use appropriate sockets that comply with the specified drive standards, and avoid sudden impacts or excessive force that could affect the wrench mechanism.
