FAQs

Buy wrenches that put your typical torque values in the upper half of each wrench's range — wrenches are most accurate at 25-100% of full scale and lose accuracy below that. For car wheel nuts (typically 100-130 Nm), a 40-200 Nm wrench is ideal — the value sits at 50-65% of full scale. For engine head bolts (typically 25-90 Nm depending on engine), a 20-100 Nm wrench is appropriate. Don't buy a single very-wide-range wrench expecting it to do everything — accuracy at the bottom of the range will be poor.

A unidirectional (standard) click wrench clicks only when tightening clockwise — the wrench effectively releases torque on the click only one way. Used for the vast majority of workshop torque applications since most fasteners tighten clockwise. A bidirectional click wrench clicks in both directions — used for left-hand-thread applications (some axle nuts, some bicycle pedals, some industrial machinery) and where the operator wants the same wrench to tighten and check anti-clockwise fasteners. For most workshops, unidirectional covers all needs.

Always store click-type torque wrenches at the lowest non-zero setting on the scale (the wrench's published minimum, normally just above zero). Storing at zero or below the published minimum causes the spring to lose its preload and accuracy drift; storing at high settings causes long-term spring fatigue. After each use, dial the wrench down to the minimum and lock the adjustment if the wrench has a lock ring. This habit dramatically extends the calibration interval.

Industry recommendation is annual calibration on a torque-tester rig (calibration services are available via WhatsApp 07754288583). For a quick workshop sanity check between calibrations: set the wrench to a known reference torque (such as the wheel-nut torque on a vehicle you trust) and torque a fastener — the click should occur at expected feel. Sudden change in click feel, click sound, or click position relative to the operator's grip suggests drift and a calibration check. Don't rely on workshop sanity checks for safety-critical fasteners.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase, in original packaging, on orders delivered within the United Kingdom. For damaged-on-arrival items, report within 24 hours with photographs to [email protected] — we will typically arrange collection and replacement at no cost to you.

Torque Wrenches

FilterFilters
View as Grid List

Within Workshop Tools / Torque, Torque Wrenches is the largest sub-section — covering the click-type, dial-type, and digital torque wrenches used to apply specified torque values to threaded fasteners across automotive, plant, agricultural, and engineering workshop applications. Parts For Machines supplies trade-grade torque wrenches across the wide selection from compact 1/4-inch drive precision wrenches up to heavy-duty 1-inch drive commercial-vehicle wrenches. Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of SIP, Sealey, and Draper across the torque wrench range.

Sealey covers the broadest selection — click-type and digital torque wrenches across all common drive sizes, with the Premier range covering professional-spec wrenches with calibration certificates and reversible ratchet heads. SIP covers workshop-grade click-type wrenches across the standard ranges. Draper extends the range with competitive trade-priced wrenches across the common drive sizes.

Product pages list the torque range (in Newton-metres and foot-pounds — the wrench is accurate from minimum to maximum within this range), drive size (1/4-inch for low-torque precision work; 3/8-inch for engine and accessory bolts; 1/2-inch for chassis, suspension, and wheel-nut work; 3/4-inch and 1-inch for HGV, plant, and high-torque applications), accuracy class (typically ±4% of reading for trade-grade, ±3% for Premier and professional-spec), reversible-ratchet feature, and overall length. Click-type wrenches are the workshop default — robust, fast to set, with audible click and tactile release at the target torque. Digital wrenches add LCD display, peak-hold, and on premium models torque-and-angle measurement (used on torque-to-yield head bolts). Bi-directional click wrenches click both clockwise and anti-clockwise — useful for left-hand-thread applications and access-restricted work; standard click wrenches are click-on-tighten only.

For practical workshop torque-tool fit-out, most workshops need three wrenches covering the common ranges: a 1/4-inch drive low-range wrench (5-25 Nm) for engine and small-fastener work, a 3/8-inch drive mid-range wrench (10-110 Nm) for accessory and engine bay use, and a 1/2-inch drive higher-range wrench (40-220 Nm) for chassis, wheel nuts, and suspension. Heavy-vehicle workshops add 3/4-inch drive (200-1500 Nm) for HGV wheel nuts and chassis fasteners. Trade pricing on multi-tool kit orders is available via WhatsApp 07754288583.
