WESTWARD Electronic Torque Wrenches

Westward electronic torque wrenches, also known as digital torque wrenches, are designed to provide precise torque reading by measuring turning force electronically to avoid overtightening of fasteners. These wrenches are most commonly used to apply consistent torque on assembled products for safety and quality control.

What are the factors to consider while choosing these Westward electronic torque wrenches?

• Choosing the right torque range
• Units of measurement
• Display type
• Preset and customisable settings
• Direction (clockwise and counterclockwise)
• Data logging and storage
• Calibration and maintenance
• Battery life and replacement
• Ergonomics and comfort
• Safety features

Why should I use an electronic torque wrench over a manual one?

Electronic torque wrenches provide greater accuracy and control compared to manual wrenches. They prevent over-tightening, ensure consistent torque levels and often come with useful features like data logging.

How do I maintain these electronic torque wrenches?

• Regularly calibrate your torque wrench according to the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain accuracy.
• Before each use, visually inspect the wrench for damage or loose components.
• Keep the tool clean by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth after use.
• Store the wrench in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent damage.
• Monitor battery levels & replace them as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Never exceed the maximum torque capacity to maintain accuracy and prevent damage.
• Ensure extensions and adapters are compatible and properly calibrated.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the tool to impacts to preserve accuracy.
