The Tvardy torque wrench 3/8" drive, 10–120 Nm (model T00252) is a manual torque tool designed for precise tightening of bolts and nuts within its rated range. It features a 3/8" square drive compatible with common sockets and provides a graduated torque scale to set and apply a specific torque value. Intended for workshop, automotive repair and general mechanical maintenance, the tool helps ensure correct clamping force and reduces the risk of fastener damage caused by over- or under-tightening.

Advantages

The torque wrench offers a wide adjustable range from 10 to 120 Nm, enabling use on a variety of fasteners without changing tools. Its 3/8" drive accepts standard sockets for easy integration into existing tool sets. The graduated scale and tactile or audible click mechanism allow accurate and repeatable torque application. Constructed for regular workshop use, it combines a clear setting mechanism with a compact form factor suitable for working in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel and engine component tightening where controlled torque is required
• Mechanical maintenance and repair of machinery and equipment
• Assembly work in garages and small workshops
• Home workshop tasks involving medium-range torque values

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/8" square drive compatible with standard sockets
• Torque range: 10–120 Nm
• Adjustment: manual, graduated torque scale for setting desired value
• Operation: ratcheting handle with torque release (click) mechanism for indication at set torque
• Form factor: compact length suitable for moderate-access areas

How to use

Select a socket that fits the fastener and attach it to the 3/8" drive. Rotate the adjustment collar or handle to set the required torque value using the graduated scale, ensuring the value aligns with the reference mark. Apply steady force to the wrench in the intended direction until the wrench signals that the preset torque is reached; avoid sudden or jerky movements. After use, return the adjustment to the minimum setting for storage to reduce stress on the internal spring and store the tool in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

For accurate and safe operation, use the torque wrench within its specified 10–120 Nm range and with compatible 3/8" sockets. Calibrate the tool periodically according to use frequency and workshop standards. Do not use the wrench as a breaker bar or apply impacts. Clean and lightly lubricate moving parts as recommended by general tool maintenance practices to prolong service life.
