Review 1/2 In Dr Dial Torque Wrench w/ Memory Pointer - 0-100 Ft/Lb / Precision Instruments:1/2" Dr Dial Torque Wrench w/ Memory Pointer - 0-100 Ft LbThe Dial Type Wrench provides an excellent solution for many applications. The wide range of scales makes selecting the appropriate tool easy. Accurate to 1% of the reading from 20% of full scale to full scale clockwise and counterclockwise, the Dial Type Wrench is the most accurate torque wrench family. The Dial Type Wrench is the only wrench that is not affected by the hand-hold position on the wrench. Guaranteed against defect in workmanship and materials for 1 year from the date of delivery providing that they have been used according to instructions. Exclusive Torsion Bar Design - This patented design features a connecting arm directly from the square drive to the easy-to-read dial. This enables the user to read the actual twist of the square drive. And, since a lever principle isn`t used, hand-hold position is not critical, unlike the split or bending beam competitive torque wrenches. Compact Design and Tapered Nose - This provides ease-of-operation by allowing clearance where operating space is limited.
