Gearwrench 85079 Adjustable Torque Wrench 1/2 in 25-250 Ft-lbs

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 85079 is a 1/2 inch drive adjustable click-style torque wrench built for professional technicians who need accurate, repeatable fastener torque across a wide range of applications. It covers a torque range of 25 to 250 foot-pounds and measures 25 inches overall. The 72-tooth ratchet mechanism allows operation in tight spaces with a minimum arc swing of just 5 degrees. Clockwise accuracy is rated at plus or minus 2 percent, and counterclockwise accuracy at plus or minus 3 percent, both compliant with ASME B107.28M. The wrench supports five torque measurement units and includes a target torque alert to signal when the set value is reached.

This torque wrench is suited for automotive service, fleet maintenance, heavy equipment repair, and mechanical contracting where precise torque is required on larger fasteners. The 1/2 inch square drive accommodates a full range of standard impact and hand sockets. Both clockwise and counterclockwise torque application are supported, making it useful for left-hand threaded fasteners and removal verification. The knurled handle provides grip control during application. The wrench ships factory calibration certified, making it ready for use in quality-controlled shop environments without additional setup.
