American Forge & Foundry 5pc 1/2" DR Preset Torque Wrench Set (42005)

The American Forge & Foundry 5pc 1/2" DR Preset Torque Wrench Set (42005) is a specialized tool solution engineered to maximize efficiency and accuracy in demanding professional environments. This kit is specifically designed for automotive repair, fleet maintenance, and tire service shops, where precise and consistent lug nut tightening is critical for vehicle safety and integrity. Each wrench in this set delivers a specific, pre-calibrated torque value without requiring manual adjustments, simplifying the tightening process and significantly reducing the potential for error. The robust construction and individual calibration of each tool ensure reliable performance even under heavy daily use.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Preset Torque Accuracy: Each of the five wrenches is permanently set to a specific torque value, eliminating the need for adjustments or re-calibration.
• Optimized for Workflow: Enables quick selection of the correct torque wrench, increasing technician productivity in fast-paced shops.
• Versatile Range: Covers the most common torque specifications for automotive and light truck lug nuts.
• Certified Precision: Each wrench is individually tested and includes its own calibration certificate for guaranteed accuracy.
• Ergonomic Design: Equipped with non-slip comfort grips for fatigue-free handling during repetitive use.

• Set Quantity: 5
• Included in Product: 5 preset torque wrenches (65 ft/lb Yellow, 80 ft/lb Blue, 100 ft/lb Gray, 120 ft/lb White, 140 ft/lb Light Blue), Blow Molded Case with Removable Lid, Individual Calibration Certificate for each wrench

HOW TO USE:

• Identify Correct Torque: Determine the required torque specification for the lug nuts you are tightening, typically found in the vehicle's service manual or a reliable torque specification chart.
• Select Wrench: Choose the corresponding color-coded AFF preset torque wrench from the set that matches the required torque value (e.g., Gray for 100 ft/lb).
• Attach Socket: Securely attach the appropriate 1/2" drive socket for your lug nuts to the square drive of the selected torque wrench.
• Tighten Lug Nut: Place the socket over the lug nut and apply steady, consistent force to the wrench handle.
• Achieve Torque: Continue tightening until the wrench audibly "clicks" or subtly breaks over, indicating that the preset torque has been achieved. The wrench will then stop turning and absorb any additional impact.
• Repeat: Move to the next lug nut and repeat the process following the manufacturer's recommended tightening pattern (e.g., star pattern) to ensure even wheel mounting.
