Torque Wrench Accuracy: Why Calibration Matters

A torque wrench is only as good as its accuracy. Whether you're working on vehicles, heavy machinery, or industrial equipment, applying the correct torque is critical to safety and performance.

Over-Tightening vs. Under-Tightening: The Risks

• Over-tightening can stretch or weaken fasteners, strip threads, and cause part failure.

• Under-tightening can lead to loose connections, increased wear, and potential equipment breakdowns.

Even a small miscalibration can mean the difference between a secure fit and a costly failure.

Why Regular Calibration is Essential

Torque wrenches naturally drift out of spec over time due to regular use. That’s why professional calibration is necessary to maintain precision and reliability. Industry standards recommend calibrating your wrench every 5,000 cycles or at least once a year.
