Proto J6169NMF Dial Torque Wrench 1/4 in Drive 10 Nm

Product Description

The PROTO J6169NMF is a dial torque wrench designed for precision fastening applications requiring accurate torque measurement and real-time feedback. Built around a 1/4 inch drive, this wrench delivers a maximum torque output of 10 Newton-meters (Nm) and features a fixed head for consistent socket engagement. With an overall length of 10 inches, it is compact enough for confined work areas without sacrificing readability on the dial face. Licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, and plumbers rely on dial-style torque wrenches when a job calls for live torque monitoring rather than a click confirmation.

This wrench suits light-duty precision fastening tasks encountered in HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing fixture installation, and general mechanical service work. The 1/4 inch drive size makes it appropriate for smaller fasteners where accurate, low-range torque application is critical. The 10 Nm maximum capacity keeps it well-suited for sensitive components where overtorque can cause thread damage or component failure. It is a practical bench and field tool for any trade professional who services equipment with manufacturer-specified torque values in the low Nm range.

Key Features

• Dial-style display provides continuous, real-time torque readout during fastener application
• 1/4 inch drive accepts standard 1/4 inch drive sockets and adapters
• 10 Nm maximum torque capacity suited for light-duty precision fastening
• Fixed head design ensures consistent alignment and socket retention
• Compact 10 inch overall length fits into tight work spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition compatible with standard 1/4 inch drive socket sets used in light-duty mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service applications.

Installation Notes

Dial torque wrenches should be stored at or near their minimum scale setting when not in use to preserve spring calibration. Always confirm the fastener specification is within the tool's rated capacity before use; applying torque beyond the maximum Nm rating can damage the internal mechanism. Technicians should zero the dial before each use and work slowly through the torque range to obtain an accurate reading. Recalibration by a qualified tool service center is recommended if the wrench is dropped or produces inconsistent readings.
