Gearwrench 85160 Torque Wrench 1/4 in Drive 1-5 Nm

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 85160 is a 1/4 inch drive torque wrench designed for precise low-torque fastening applications. It covers a torque range of 1 to 5 Newton-meters (Nm), equivalent to 0.75 to 44 inch-pounds, making it well-suited for tasks where over-tightening small fasteners is a real risk. The compact form factor — measuring 7.48 inches in length with a profile of 0.98 inches wide and 0.82 inches tall — fits into tight spaces where full-size torque wrenches cannot. At 0.75 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended use without fatigue. Technicians working on electronics, instrumentation, small engine components, or precision mechanical assemblies will find this wrench fits the torque demands of those applications.

This torque wrench is appropriate for professional use in automotive, HVAC controls, electrical panel work, and any trade scenario requiring accurate low-torque application. The 1/4 inch drive accepts standard 1/4 inch drive sockets, making it compatible with existing socket sets commonly found in trade toolkits. It is a single-piece per-package item intended for individual professional or bench use.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by mechanics, technicians, and trade professionals performing torque-sensitive fastening at low values. Always set the wrench to the required torque specification before use and release tension on the adjustment mechanism when storing the wrench to preserve calibration. Do not use this wrench to loosen fasteners, as back-driving a torque wrench can damage the internal mechanism.
