Ratchets and Torque Wrenches for Accurate Tightening

Ratchets and Torque Wrenches for Accurate Tightening

Ratchets and Torque Wrenches

A detailed buying guide: how to choose a ratchet and torque wrench.

Ratchets turn a socket quickly without repositioning, while torque wrenches tighten a bolt to an exact torque (N·m). These tools are needed for wheels, engines and critical joints. General guide: how to choose wrenches, sockets, ratchets and torque tools.

What to consider when choosing a ratchet and torque wrench

Drive size

A 1/4" ratchet is for small fasteners, 3/8" is universal, and 1/2" is for wheels and heavy work.

Torque range

Choose a wrench so that the needed torque falls mid-range. Wheels usually need 40-210 N·m.

Tooth count

A ratchet with many teeth (72 or more) works with a small swing angle, handy in tight spaces.

Material

CrV steel withstands high torque. Read hand tool materials, hardness, coatings and ergonomics.

Safety

Do not use a torque wrench to loosen bolts. Read how to use hand tools safely.

Care

After use, set the torque wrench to its minimum. Read how to maintain, store and organize hand tools.

At ToolsArmenia you can choose ratchets and torque wrenches by drive size, torque range and type.
