Paramount PAR50417 Preset Torque Screwdriver 17.70 In/lb

Product Description

The PARAMOUNT PAR50417 is a preset torque screwdriver designed for applications requiring repeatable, controlled fastening at a fixed torque value. Set to a maximum torque of 17.70 inch-pounds (283.00 inch-ounces or 2.000 Nm), this tool prevents over-tightening on sensitive fasteners without requiring a torque readout. It features a straight handle and a 0.1968-inch drive. Technicians working on HVAC control panels, electrical enclosures, and precision equipment use preset torque drivers where consistent torque is critical and adjustable tools are not appropriate for the workflow.

This screwdriver is suited for light-duty precision fastening tasks in residential and commercial service environments. It is a single-piece tool and fits standard preset-drive bit configurations at the 0.1968-inch drive size. Trade professionals in HVAC, electrical, and instrumentation fields will find it applicable wherever fastener torque compliance is required during panel assembly, equipment startup, or preventive maintenance procedures.

• 0.1968-inch drive size for use with standard precision bits
• Straight handle design for consistent grip and control in confined spaces
• Lightweight at 0.21 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during repetitive fastening
• Single-piece tool with no assembly required out of the package

Compatibility

Designed as a preset torque screwdriver for use with 0.1968-inch drive bits in precision fastening applications. No specific model or system compatibility data was provided by the manufacturer for this part.

Installation Notes

Preset torque screwdrivers are used by electricians, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation professionals during assembly, startup, and maintenance procedures. Always de-energize and lock out electrical panels or equipment before accessing internal fasteners. Do not attempt to modify or override the preset torque mechanism, as this will compromise torque accuracy. Follow the equipment manufacturer's fastener torque requirements to confirm this tool's preset value is appropriate for the application.
