Paramount PAR50408 Preset Torque Screwdriver 8 In/lb

Product Description

The PARAMOUNT PAR50408 is a preset torque screwdriver designed to deliver a fixed output of 8 in/lb (0.900 Nm), making it a reliable hand tool for applications where consistent, repeatable torque is required. The straight handle and 0.1968 inch drive are suited for controlled fastening tasks in tight or precision-critical environments. Because the torque is factory-preset, there is no adjustment required on the job — the tool delivers the same output every time it is used. At 0.21 pounds, it is a lightweight single-piece tool well suited for bench work or field service calls.

This screwdriver is appropriate for use by HVAC technicians, electricians, and pool equipment service pros who need to seat fasteners to a specific torque value without risking over-tightening on sensitive components such as terminal screws, control board fasteners, or equipment covers. Preset torque tools are commonly specified when manufacturer documentation calls out a fixed in/lb value for a connection point. The single-piece construction and straight handle keep the workflow straightforward in confined cabinet spaces.

Installation Notes

A licensed technician or qualified service professional should verify the required torque specification from the equipment manufacturer before selecting this tool. No power source is required — this is a manual hand tool. Store the tool in a protective case when not in use to preserve calibration accuracy. Do not apply force beyond the preset value or use the tool as a standard screwdriver, as doing so may affect the preset torque mechanism.
