Torque Wrench Angle Gauge NEO tools 08-830 1/2" 360° for angle tightening

The Torque Wrench Angle Gauge NEO tools 08-830 1/2" 360° for angle tightening is an accessory designed to attach to a 1/2" torque wrench and provide precise measurement of angular displacement during torque-controlled fastening. The gauge offers a full 360° scale to monitor and document rotation after initial torque application, helping ensure correct angle-specific tightening in workshops and assembly environments. It is intended for use where combining torque and angle criteria improves joint reliability.

Advantages

The angle gauge delivers a continuous 360° measurement range and mounts directly to the square drive of a 1/2" torque wrench to register rotation accurately. Its compact, mechanical design requires no batteries and provides a clear scale for repeatable angle readings. The tool supports consistent tightening procedures, reduces risk of under- or over-tightening when angle specifications are required, and integrates with existing torque wrench workflows without altering torque settings.

Suitable for

• Automotive cylinder head and wheel-fastening applications requiring angle-controlled tightening
• Mechanical assembly where combined torque and angle specifications are used
• Maintenance and repair tasks in workshops and production lines
• Quality control and inspection procedures that document angle of rotation

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" square drive mounting
• Measurement range: 360° continuous rotation scale
• Display: mechanical analog scale for angle indication
• Material: durable metal construction suitable for workshop use
• Compatibility: designed to fit standard 1/2" torque wrenches without modifying torque setting

How to use

Fit the angle gauge onto the 1/2" square drive of the torque wrench before applying any preload torque. Set the initial reference position on the scale, apply the required torque to the fastener, then continue rotating the wrench while observing the gauge until the specified additional angle is reached. Read the angle directly from the mechanical scale to confirm compliance with the angle specification. Remove the gauge after completing the operation or leave it mounted if repeated identical fastenings are required.

Usage recommendations

Ensure the torque wrench is calibrated and in good condition before use. Clean the drive and gauge contact surfaces to prevent slippage. Use steady, controlled rotation when measuring angle and record readings as part of the assembly documentation when required by procedure.
