Laser Tools is now offer a new range of Torque Wrenches that are designed for higher torque settings. The wrenches are strong and robust, as well as being highly accurate. They are well suited to heavy workshop especially in commercial vehicle and motor racing applications.

There are four torque wrenches in the range: 1/2"-drive x 595mm length (part no: 7169), 3/4"-drive x 970mm length (part no: 7170), 3/4"-drive x 1150 length (part no: 7171) and 1"-drive x 1250mm length (part no: 7172). The wrenches are dual scale, with a separate easy to read unit graduation and feature a locking ring to maintain the setting. They are all supplied with a calibration certificate. The torque range for each wrench is:

• 7169: 1/2"-drive: 60 - 300Nm (44 – 221lb/ft)
• 7170: 3/4"-drive: 110 - 550Nm (81 – 405lb/ft)
• 7171: 3/4"-drive: 150 - 750Nm (110 – 553lb/ft)
• 7172: 1"-drive: 200 - 1000Nm (147 – 737lb/ft) — as used by Laser Tools Racing in the BTCC, for the centre wheel-retaining nuts on Aiden Moffat’s Mercedes-Benz A-Class, which are torqued to 750Nm.

These new wrenches are now available from Laser Tools stockists.
