Paramount PAR50431 Preset Torque Screwdriver 31 In/lb

Product Description

The PARAMOUNT PAR50431 is a preset torque screwdriver designed for applications requiring consistent, repeatable fastener torque without adjustment in the field. Set to a fixed output of 31 inch-pounds (3.5 Nm), this single-piece tool eliminates the risk of over- or under-torquing fasteners in sensitive assemblies. The straight handle and 0.1968-inch drive make it well suited for precision work in tight or access-restricted locations. Weighing 0.21 pounds and measuring 9.5 inches in length, it is compact enough for a service bag or technician kit. HVAC service technicians, electricians, and pool equipment technicians commonly use preset torque screwdrivers when manufacturer specs call for a specific fastener seating value.

This tool is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work where a fixed torque output is required for terminal screws, control board fasteners, equipment covers, or other hardware with torque-sensitive assembly requirements. Its preset design means no calibration adjustment is needed on the job, making it reliable for repetitive tasks during installation or preventive maintenance visits. The single-piece construction keeps the tool ready to use without additional setup.

Installation Notes

Preset torque screwdrivers are used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and pool service professionals to seat fasteners to manufacturer-specified values. Power down all equipment and de-energize circuits before tightening or loosening electrical terminals or control board hardware. Use the tool only within its rated torque value — applying force beyond the preset limit can damage the tool or fastener. Refer to the equipment manufacturer's service documentation for the applicable fastener torque specifications before use.
