Instructions to Adjust an AmPro Torque Wrench
AmPro tools are manufactured by Frenway Products. Frenway has been in business since 1984 and provides tools and services to 63 countries around the world. Using an AmPro torque wrench allows you to set your own torque specifications for your chosen project. Torque settings are very important when you are working with different engine bolts. If you use too much torque on certain bolts, you may break them and make it harder, if not impossible, to remove from the hole. Always check your bolt torque specifications before you set your torque wrench.
Instructions
- 1
Hold your AmPro wrench in one hand. With the other hand, grab the locking knob at the end of the torque wrench and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the torque setting.
2Adjust the handle to your desired torque setting. Start by rotating the handle so the setting reads "0" on the minor graduation scale. The "0" is also in line with vertical scale on the shaft. Both of these scales are in inch pounds (in/lb).
3Raise or lower the handle to adjust the vertical scale setting. The vertical scale has large numbers (120, 360, 600, etc.) listed in a vertical fashion on the handle.
4Rotate the handle to your desired setting on the minor graduation scale. This adjustment allows you to add small amounts of torque to your vertical scale setting. "1" on the minor graduation indicates 1 foot/lb and is equal to 12 inch/lb. For example, if you raise the handle on the vertical scale to 360 inch/lb and then rotate the minor scale to "2", you will be adding 24 inches to your 360 setting to make it a setting of 384 inch/lb.
5Rotate the locking knob clockwise to secure your setting into place.

ReplyDeleteWrenches are very useful in the household. It is used to provide grip and applying pressure in turning objects like nuts and bolts to secure them on place and prevent it from any movement. Torque wrenches are one of the few types of wrenches but are used to measure the torque applied during fastening the nuts and bolts.useful link
ReplyDeleteWhen tightening a bolt to the proper torque, it is essential that your hand which is pulling the wrench is cantered on the handle of the wrench. Having it too close or far from the socket actually affects the ultimate torque value you are tightening to. useful link
ReplyDeleteThere are electronic wrenches that have a digital display instead of an analog gauge. There are also hydraulic torque wrenches that are capable of applying a large amount of force through the use of hydraulics. click here

ReplyDeletewhen minor (round) scale is at zero (0) the end of the turning part is BETWEEN two lines of the other scale. Witch line is valid ?? that line little bit under the turning shaft or this 1mm away from the end if turning shaft?
