If you work with heavy equipment, energy generation, bridges or heavy construction, or are a military engineer, the importance of proper maintenance and care for your torque wrench is paramount to ensuring long-term use. The lifespan of your wrench depends greatly on how you treat it when not in use and how often you calibrate it. Caring for your torque wrench not only prolongs its life but also helps reduce maintenance costs and replacements. Here are some tips for maximizing the lifespan of your industrial torque wrench:

Air travel is the safest form of transportation today, and one of the main reasons can be attributed to the expertise of aircraft mechanics and engineers as well as the reliability of the tools that enable them to work safely and efficiently. Planes are made up of thousands of parts held together with tens of thousands of bolts or fasteners. Because aircrafts must withstand varying degrees of altitude, speed, and temperature on a daily basis, each bolt must be tightened with a very precise amount of torque.

High-precision manual torque wrenches are capable of exerting a very precise, preset amount of torque to a fastener, so they are an important tool in an aircraft mechanic's inventory. Because accuracy is so important when it comes to aircraft maintenance, it is crucial that these wrenches are calibrated on a regular basis. In this post, we’ll review two common high-precision manual torque tools for aircraft mechanics and the importance of maintaining them with an accredited calibration institute.
