Tork Craft Mechanical Torque Wrench 1/2" Drive 70-400Nm TCTQ12400-01

At a Glance: High-capacity 1/2" drive mechanical torque wrench with a 70-400Nm torque range, ±3% accuracy, 72-tooth ratchet mechanism and macro and micro torque scales for controlled adjustment.

The Tork Craft TCTQ12400-01 Mechanical Torque Wrench is designed for loosening or tightening screws, bolts and nuts to a desired torque setting. With its 1/2" square drive and substantial 70-400Nm torque range, it is built for applications where higher controlled torque values are required.

The wrench features a macro torque scale together with a micro torque scale to assist with selecting the required setting. Torque adjustment is provided in 1Nm increments, while the adjustment locking collar helps secure the chosen setting before torque is applied.

A 72-tooth ratchet mechanism provides fine incremental ratcheting movement, while the direction paddle allows the ratchet direction to be selected quickly. The knurled aluminium handle provides a secure gripping surface, with a steel body forming the main mechanical structure of the wrench.

High-capacity torque control up to 400Nm

With a 70-400Nm working range and 1/2" square drive, the TCTQ12400-01 is the highest-capacity model listed in this Tork Craft mechanical torque wrench range. Its dual torque scales, 1Nm adjustment increments and locking collar provide a straightforward way to select and maintain the required torque setting.

Extra Information

Understanding the macro and micro torque scales

The TCTQ12400-01 uses both a macro torque scale and a micro torque scale as part of its mechanical adjustment system. Together, these scales allow the required torque value to be selected within the wrench&s 70-400Nm working range.

Adjustment locking collar

Once the required torque value has been selected, the adjustment locking collar helps secure the setting before the wrench is used. This is particularly useful when several fasteners need to be tightened using the same torque value.

72-tooth ratchet mechanism

The TCTQ12400-01 uses a 72-tooth ratchet mechanism. The fine-tooth design provides smaller incremental ratcheting movements, helping improve control where the available handle movement is restricted.

Nm and lb.ft torque scales

The wrench provides torque settings in Newton metres (Nm) and pound-feet (lb.ft). This allows convenient reference when the required torque specification is supplied in either of these measurement units.

Why choose a 1/2" drive 400Nm torque wrench?

A 1/2" square drive is commonly used with larger sockets and higher torque values. With a working range of 70-400Nm, the TCTQ12400-01 provides the highest maximum torque capacity listed in this Tork Craft mechanical torque wrench series.

Torque wrench calibration

A torque wrench is a precision tool and should be recalibrated periodically. Tork Craft recommends checking calibration at least once a year, after abnormal handling or overloading, or after approximately 5000 cycles.

Correct handling matters

Do not apply torque in excess of the maximum capacity of the wrench. Always apply load through the grip and never use a pipe, handle extension bar or other device to create additional leverage.

Pro Tips

  • Confirm the required torque: Check the correct torque value before adjusting the wrench.
  • Stay within the range: Never exceed the maximum 400Nm capacity of the wrench.
  • Read both scales carefully: Use the macro and micro torque scales together when selecting the required setting.
  • Lock the adjustment: Secure the selected torque using the adjustment locking collar before applying torque.
  • Use the correct socket: Fit a suitable 1/2" drive socket that matches the fastener correctly.
  • Apply load through the grip: Use the knurled aluminium handle as the intended load point.
  • Never add extra leverage: Do not fit an extension bar or pipe over the handle.
  • Protect the calibration: Avoid dropping, abnormal handling or overloading the torque wrench.
  • Store it correctly: Keep the wrench in its blow moulded case and away from excessive heat, humidity and direct sunlight.

How to Use

  • Confirm the required torque: Determine the correct torque value for the screw, bolt or nut being worked on.
  • Select the torque setting: Use the macro and micro torque scales to set the required value within the 70-400Nm operating range.
  • Lock the setting: Secure the selected torque using the adjustment locking collar.
  • Select the ratchet direction: Position the direction paddle as required for the application.
  • Fit the socket: Attach a suitable 1/2" drive socket securely to the square drive.
  • Position the wrench: Place the socket correctly and securely onto the fastener.
  • Grip correctly: Hold the wrench by the knurled aluminium handle and apply load through the grip.
  • Apply torque steadily: Apply controlled force while keeping the wrench correctly aligned with the fastener.
  • Do not overload: Never apply torque beyond the wrench&s maximum 400Nm capacity.
  • Store safely: Return the torque wrench to its blow moulded case after use and keep it away from excessive heat, humidity and direct sunlight.

Safety

  • Do not apply torque in excess of the maximum capacity of the wrench.
  • Apply load through the grip only.
  • Do not use handle extension bars or pipes to gain additional leverage.
  • Do not disassemble the torque wrench for any reason.
  • Highly stressed internal components may cause severe injury if released unintentionally.
  • The torque wrench should be recalibrated periodically to maintain accuracy.
  • Calibration should be checked at least once a year, after abnormal handling or overloading, or after approximately 5000 cycles.
  • Do not leave the wrench where it will be exposed to excessive heat, humidity or direct sunlight.
