Click torque wrench KS Tools 516.1482 Ft-lb Nm Mechanical

The KS Tools 516.1482 Click Torque Wrench is a mechanical torque wrench with dual Nm and ft·lb scales for controlled fastening in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. It provides precise torque measurements, a micrometer fine-adjustment scale, audible and tactile click feedback at the set value, and includes a calibration declaration of conformity traceable to national standards (DIN EN ISO 6789:2017(E)). The tool is individually serial-numbered and designed for professional use in automotive and mechanical applications.

Advantages

This click torque wrench offers ±3% actuation accuracy relative to the set scale value and maintains precise readings for at least 5,000 tightening cycles. The ratchet head features a 30-tooth gearing and an ejection mechanism, while the square drive adaptor conforms to DIN 3120 / ISO 1174 with ball lock. The two-component ergonomic handle includes a soft zone for comfortable grip, and torque is set quickly via a locking knob at the handle end. A large magnified vision panel and micrometer scale enable fine adjustment, and an audible and palpable signal confirms achievement of the target torque.

Suitable for

• Automotive tightening tasks (engine, suspension, wheels)
• General mechanical assembly and maintenance
• Professional workshop use and field service
• Applications requiring repeatable and traceable torque settings

How to use

Select the desired torque scale (Nm or ft·lb) and set the torque by pulling out the slide-in knob at the end of the handle, rotating to the required value using the micrometer scale and vision panel, then push the knob back in and lock it with the handle locking knob. Fit the appropriate socket to the square drive, choose rotation direction by rotating the square drive piece, and apply force until the audible and tactile click indicates the preset torque has been reached. For counter-clockwise tightening, set the wrench accordingly before use.

Usage recommendations

Use the wrench within its specified torque range and avoid exceeding the stated limits. Have the instrument recalibrated according to the manufacturer’s or regulatory intervals to maintain accuracy and traceability. Store the wrench with the torque set to its lowest value to relieve spring tension when not in use.
