Installation Notes

This tool is used by licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians for fastener torquing during equipment installation and service. Always power down or de-energize equipment before performing fastener work on mechanical or electrical assemblies. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for the fastener or equipment being serviced. Do not use torque wrenches as breaker bars or for loosening fasteners, as this can damage the internal mechanism and affect calibration.
