Proto J6006MC Micrometer Torque Wrench 16-80 Nm 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J6006MC is a micrometer-type ratchet head torque wrench designed for precise fastener tightening in trade and industrial service work. It delivers a torque range of 16 to 80 Newton meters (Nm) and uses a 3/8 inch square drive, making it a practical choice for HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical service technicians who need repeatable torque values on critical fastener connections. The micrometer adjustment mechanism allows the user to dial in a specific torque setting and feel a clear click at the set value. At 15.5 inches overall length and 3.11 pounds, the wrench balances reach and control in tight service locations.

This wrench suits residential and light commercial service applications where Newton meter torque specifications are required. It is commonly used when tightening refrigerant line fittings, mechanical equipment mounting hardware, and piping flanges where over-torquing or under-torquing can cause leaks or component damage. The 3/8 inch drive accepts standard sockets, and the ratcheting head speeds up repetitive fastener work without repositioning the wrench body on each stroke.

Key Features

• Micrometer-style adjustable torque setting for repeatable accuracy across the 16 to 80 Nm range
• 3/8 inch square drive accepts standard socket sets
• Ratcheting head allows continuous tightening without removing and repositioning the wrench
• 15.5 inch overall length provides leverage in typical service access spaces
• Lightweight at 3.11 pounds for extended use without fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 3/8 inch drive micrometer torque wrench suitable for fastener applications requiring torque values within the 16 to 80 Nm range across mechanical, HVAC, and plumbing service work.

Installation Notes

A licensed or qualified trade technician should verify the required torque specification from the equipment manufacturer before use. Always return the wrench to its minimum torque setting after use to relieve spring tension and preserve calibration. Do not use the wrench as a breaker bar or apply force beyond the maximum 80 Nm rated capacity. Calibration should be checked periodically per shop or jobsite quality procedures.
