Paramount PAR50426 Preset Torque Screwdriver 426 In/oz

Product Description

The PARAMOUNT PAR50426 is a preset torque screwdriver designed for applications requiring a fixed, repeatable torque output of approximately 426 inch-ounces (26.6 inch-pounds, 3 Nm). Because the torque value is factory-set, the tool eliminates operator guesswork and reduces the risk of over- or under-torquing fasteners on sensitive components. The straight handle and 0.1968-inch drive are suited for confined spaces and small-fastener work. The single-piece construction keeps the tool ready for immediate use without assembly. Weighing 0.21 pounds, it is light enough for repeated use in field or bench settings.

Preset torque screwdrivers are commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and equipment service professionals when tightening terminal screws, control board fasteners, panel hardware, and precision mechanical assemblies. Any application that specifies a fixed torque value in the 26 to 27 inch-pound range benefits from this tool. The straight handle design works well on benchtop assemblies and in panel enclosures where a pistol-grip tool would be impractical.

Key Features

• Preset at 426 inch-ounces (26.6 inch-pounds / 3 Nm) — no adjustment required
• 0.1968-inch drive size for small-fastener applications
• Straight handle for access in tight or confined workspaces
• Lightweight at 0.21 pounds for extended use without fatigue
• Single-piece, ready-to-use construction — no assembly needed

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a fixed torque output of approximately 426 inch-ounces (26.6 inch-pounds) with a 0.1968-inch drive, including terminal and fastener work on HVAC controls, electrical panels, and precision equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Use this tool on fasteners that match the 0.1968-inch drive size and require torque in the 26 to 27 inch-pound range. Because the torque is preset at the factory, do not attempt to adjust or modify the internal clutch mechanism. Verify the target fastener torque specification before use to confirm the preset value is appropriate for the application. Store the screwdriver in a protective case or holder to preserve calibration accuracy.
