Mechanical Torque Wrench Gedore R68900200

The Mechanical Torque Wrench Gedore R68900200 is a precision mechanical torque wrench with a 1/2" square drive, designed for accurate tightening and controlled loosening of fasteners. At 485 mm overall length and a weight of 1.42 kg, this torque wrench offers a balance of reach and handling for professional maintenance, automotive repair and light industrial assembly tasks. The tool is built to provide repeatable torque application and reliable service under regular workshop conditions.

Advantages

The Gedore R68900200 delivers consistent torque accuracy through its mechanical setting mechanism, enabling users to achieve specified tightening values without requiring external power. Its 1/2" square drive provides compatibility with a wide range of sockets and attachments. The wrench's solid construction and ergonomic length improve control when working on medium and larger fasteners, and the stated weight supports stable application of torque while minimizing hand fatigue during repeated use.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair: wheel bolts, engine and chassis fastenings
• Industrial maintenance: machinery and plant bolted joints
• Assembly work: structural and mechanical assemblies requiring precise torque
• Service workshops and professional trades where calibrated torque is required

Key specifications

• Square drive size: 1/2"
• Overall length: 485 mm
• Weight: 1.42 kg
• Type: mechanical torque wrench with adjustable torque setting
• Intended application: precision tightening and controlled loosening of bolts and nuts

How to use

Select the appropriate socket for the fastener and attach it to the 1/2" drive. Adjust the wrench to the required torque setting following the manufacturer's scale or markings on the tool. Position the wrench squarely on the fastener and apply steady force until the wrench indicates that the set torque has been reached. For loosening, set the torque below the prevailing breakaway torque or use the wrench only for controlled removal if specified; refer to service procedures for specific loosening torque values. Store the wrench at its lowest torque setting after use to maintain calibration stability.

Usage recommendations

Use calibrated reference procedures periodically to verify accuracy, avoid sudden shocks or using the wrench as a hammer, and combine with appropriate sockets and extenders designed for torque application. Regularly inspect the drive and mechanism for wear and keep the tool clean and dry to prolong reliable performance.
