Tork Craft Mechanical Torque Wrench 3/8" Drive 5-60Nm TCTQ3860-01

At a Glance: Precision 3/8" drive mechanical torque wrench with a 5-60Nm torque range, ±3% accuracy, 72-tooth ratchet mechanism and macro and micro torque scales for controlled adjustment.

The Tork Craft TCTQ3860-01 Mechanical Torque Wrench is designed to loosen or tighten screws, bolts and nuts to a desired torque setting. Its 3/8" square drive and broad 5-60Nm torque range provide a practical combination for controlled fastening applications where accurate and repeatable torque settings are required.

The wrench features clearly defined macro and micro torque scales to assist with selecting the required torque value. Adjustment is provided in 1Nm increments, while the adjustment locking collar helps secure the selected setting before use.

A 72-tooth ratchet mechanism provides fine ratcheting movement for improved control where available handle movement is limited. The direction paddle allows quick selection of the ratchet direction, while the knurled aluminium handle provides a positive gripping surface. The wrench combines an aluminium handle with a steel body for a strong mechanical construction.

Versatile 3/8" drive torque control from 5 to 60Nm

The TCTQ3860-01 offers a useful 5-60Nm working range with a 3/8" square drive, dual torque scales and a locking adjustment system. Its straightforward mechanical design makes it easy to set a required torque value and apply controlled torque to suitable screws, bolts and nuts.

Extra Information

Understanding the macro and micro torque scales

The TCTQ3860-01 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 setting to be selected within the wrench&s 5-60Nm 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 the same torque setting needs to be maintained while working on several fasteners.

72-tooth ratchet mechanism

The TCTQ3860-01 uses a 72-tooth ratchet mechanism. The fine-tooth design provides smaller incremental ratcheting movements, helping the wrench operate effectively where available handle movement may be limited.

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 provided in either of these measurement units.

Torque wrench calibration

A torque wrench is a precision tool and should be recalibrated periodically. Tork Craft recommends that calibration be checked 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: Determine the correct torque value before adjusting the wrench.
  • Stay within the range: Never exceed the maximum 60Nm capacity of the wrench.
  • Read both scales: Use the macro and micro torque scales together when selecting the required setting.
  • Lock the adjustment: Secure the selected setting using the adjustment locking collar before applying torque.
  • Use the correct socket: Fit a suitable 3/8" drive socket that matches the fastener correctly.
  • Apply load through the grip: Use the knurled aluminium handle as the intended load point.
  • Never add leverage: Do not place a pipe or extension bar over the handle.
  • Protect its accuracy: Avoid abnormal handling, impacts and overloading of 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 5-60Nm 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 3/8" 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 properly aligned with the fastener.
  • Do not overload: Never apply torque beyond the wrench&s maximum 60Nm 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.
