Laser Tools has introduced a new detachable-head, mechanical torque wrench. The product (part number 6167)  is supplied with a 1/4" drive ratchet head plus a selection of open ended spanner heads which enables accurate tensioning of difficult to access fasteners.

Laser says that the new tool is especially useful for changing the cambelt and for critical items like idler pulleys, tensioner pulleys and balance shafts. In these instances access at the front or side of the engine is often restricted. The torque setting of the tool can be locked for continuous accurate work and the sealed neck keeps dust and grit away from the torque mechanism for longer service life.

The torque wrench features a display range of 10 - 50 Nm (7.4 – 36.9 ft/lb) with an accuracy of ±4%; right-hand thread torque measurement only. Included in the set is a reversible 1/4" drive ratchet head, plus 8 open ended spanner heads: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14mm. It is supplied with calibration certificate and the set comes in a fitted plastic blow-mould case for security.

Laser Tools are available from stockist nationwide and distributed in Ireland by Carcessories. For more information visit www.lasertools.co.uk
