Application
The Ascot Supply 2-pc 600 ft-lb Flex Hinge Style Torque Wrench, No. 168-60012 is ideal for use with commercial truck tires and wheels. It helps ensure wheel nuts are properly torqued to prevent wheel-offs. Its design prevents over-torquing, and the wrench literally won’t allow wheel nuts to be torqued more than 600 ft/lbs. The wrench flexes at the hinge when the proper torque is reached.
Origin
This wrench was created to make storage and portability easier. The 1-piece version was bulky and did not fit easily into service trucks. The 2-piece version was created to allow the technician to fit it easily into the cab of a service truck. This tool is unique in that both 3/4" and 1" adapters are included, allowing for use with a wide array of socket sizes.
