Precision Instruments Torque Wrenches
When you are in the market for a torque wrench, you are looking for a robust and easy-to-use precision tool. Any Precision Instruments torque wrench suits this need just right. This Illinois-based company has been manufacturing tools since 1938, and its product line is still made in the U.S.A. from start to finish, in a well-equipped 50,000-square-foot facility in Des Plaines, IL, from domestically-sourced raw materials. Its wrenches are built tough from aircraft-quality steel. Each of these tools makes it very easy to set the amount of torque without having to return it back to zero all the time.
Precision Instruments wrenches are offered in dial, split-beam, and micrometer types. Whatever you choose, you get accurate torque measurement, which is utterly important when you work on expensive parts where improper pressure may cause damage. Depending on design, a margin of error in readings ranges from 2 to 4 percent. Precision Instruments also has a selection of torque drivers, which are more convenient for many applications where there’s a small tolerance for error. Just like other tools by this brand, these ones have sturdy metal construction.
Precision Instruments can be rightfully regarded as a leader in innovation. It was the first company that developed and manufactured torsion bar dial and split-beam click wrenches. Their constructions have been perfected over the years, and the same principles were applied to the design and production of torque drivers which were added to the lineup in 1962. In the late 1960s, the company introduced torque testers. Their original design still forms the basis for many of the modern testing devices. The patents that followed in the ensuing decades included those issued for their fully releasing driver mechanism and external calibration technology for a micrometer wrench.
From the invention of the torsion bar dial type wrench and split-beam click wrench, to the most reliable micrometer adjustable click wrench, Precision Instruments has always been a leader in innovation. Whether the application involves delicate fasteners at 8 ounce inch of torque, or massive bolts at 10,000 pound foot, Precision Instruments has a solution to fit your needs. All the company's products are made in the USA.
