cut in boxes are hard to reach and usually too small for most hands to easily attach conduit connectors traditional methods of attaching lock nuts like a screwdriver pliers or fingers don't work klein tools conduit lock nut wrench turns a complicated operation into an easy to hand task perfect for hard-to-reach half inch and three quarter inch connectors this lock nut wrench works in deep or tight boxes where pliers and fingers can't the patent-pending driveshaft design lets you easily loosen and tighten conduit connectors using a stationary twisting motion heavy-duty steel construction enables needed torque to loosen or tighten connectors the innovative conduit lock nut wrench lets you work smarter not harder when installing lock nuts Klein tools for the professional tradesperson since 1857 talk leader applying tools are used to deliver a set talk to a fastener three types of mechanism are used to alert the operator that the set talk has been achieved these are slipping breaking or clicking slipping torque wrenches and torque screwdrivers provide a guarantee that the set talk cannot be exceeded when the set torque value is reached the tool slips free for a short time until resetting occurs slipping tools are ideal for high quality assembly operations where application of the correct torque is essential accurate process control is ensured by eliminating both under and over tightening through use of the proven talk leader slipping technology the tightening torque is not influenced by the operators hand position reducing the likelihood of warranty and rework through incorrect tightening braking tools are ideal for production line use where the ability to fit spanner accessories make them extremely versatile talk leaders unique 20 degree braking mechanism gives the user both movement and reaction time once the target torque is reached reducing the risk of both over and under tightening braking wrenches maximize productivity in restricted space applications through their compact slimline design tall replacements and downtime costs are minimized through a long-lasting durable design proven by talk leaders rigorous lifecycle testing process click tools are designed for the lower volume user where economy is of paramount importance when the set talk value is reached the operator will hear a click feel an impulse and there'll be approximately three degrees of tall movements this small angle of movement provides a very short reaction time between click and over-tighten so the tool needs to be used slowly and carefully continued application of force after the three degrees of movement will cause the torque applied to increase above the required limit click tools are also length dependent the position of the hand on the tool alters the torque produced so the operator has a significant influence over the tightening process particularly below 100 Newton meters for more information about all talk leader products please visit our website at wwlp.com hey this is Brennan from Tecton here to show you how to use the Tecton 24 330 3/8 inch drive torque wrench first the torque wrench has a two-piece scale with the main scale on the handle body and the micrometer on the knurled handle to set the torque wrench loosen the lock nut at the end of the handle this torque wrench has increments of 5 foot-pounds on the main scale and 1 foot pound on the micrometer I'll be tightening the header bolts on our engine which has a manufacturer's torque setting of 25 foot-pounds to set the torque wrench to 25 foot-pounds turn the knurled handle so that zero is on the bottom of 25 lock the torque setting tightening the locknut then you are ready to go it is important to use a torque wrench slowly and steady so you do not miss the torque setting you want when the desired torque setting is reached you will hear a click do not continue to move the torque wrench after you hear the click or you can over tighten the nut or bolt when you are finished make sure you store the torque wrench at the lowest setting to maintain accuracy introducing two new electronic torque wrenches from gearwrench the 3/8 inch drive eight five zero seven six and the half-inch drive eight five zero seven seven these new electronic torque wrenches make extremely accurate tightening easy because they're flashing visual and keeping audible alerts let you know before you reach the target room so there's less chance of over torquing fasteners and the vibrating handle confirms you've reached the torque settings electronic torque wrenches are different from beam and micrometer style torque wrenches and weights many text by beautiful they're more accurate these new key wrench models are plus or minus two percent accurate and clockwise orientation and plus or minus 3% counter clockwise they're more versatile they switch from foot counts and Newton meters to inch pounds and more at the touch of a button different scales don't require different wrenches there's no unwinding after each use since their electronic not mechanical there's no need to reset the spring back to its at rest position you simply switch the power off they're more resistant to low-level shock even slight impacts can destroy the calibration on micrometer torque wrenches minor shocks generally do not affect electronic torque wrenches but probably the biggest reason why electronic torque wrenches are gaining in popularity is their ease of use setup is quick and tightening faster to the correct torque is easier so you can get more done in less time here's how easy it is to use the new electronic torque wrenches from gearwrench first press the power button to turn the wrench on the numeric display will appear it's important you don't apply any torque pressure to the wrench during setup select your preferred unit of measurement by scrolling through your choices using the unit button these new wrenches offer five choices foot-pounds Newton meters or inch pounds are the most popular your choice will stay in the wrench memory until you change it now you can set your target or press the set button scroll up or down to get the right torque then press set again to lock in your choice again this number will stay in the wrench memory until you change it you've selected your unit of measurement and target torque so now you get to decide how close to the target sorts you want the flashing LED and audible beep alerts to start this is called the target torque alert and there is no correct setting it depends on your personal preference and working style for example if your target torque is 80 foot pounds and you want the alerts to start when you're halfway there at 40 foot-pounds you simply set the target torque alert to 50% but if you don't want the visual and audible alerts to start until you're much closer to your target torque you might select 25% then the alerts won't start until you hit 60 foot-pounds set the target torque alert by first pressing the % button using the up or down arrow buttons scroll to the target torque alert you prefer then press the % button again to lock in your choice now you can go to work here we've set our target torque with 75 foot-pounds with the torque alert at 15% as a target torque is approached the visual and audible alerts begin once a target has been reached both alerts turn continuous and the handle vibrates the 3/8 in half inch drive electronic torque wrenches come with a gearwrench one-year limited warranty and a 90-day calibration guaranteed
