How Accurate Is Your Click-Style Torque Wrench?

Due to how the click-style wrench makes the click, it can lose its factory calibration.

The click-style torque wrench is the most common of torque tools. Click-style torque wrenches can be very accurate, but due to how the wrench makes the click, it can lose its factory calibration.Below the head of the wrench is a pin that holds the head or the ratchet to the body of the wrench. The pin allows the ratchet head to pivot and move the tang below. At the base of the tang is a slot where a pivot block makes contact. The block is typically made of a softer metal than the tang. On the other side of the pivot block is the cam. Behind the cam is a spring that can be adjusted.The pivot block tilts or dislodges when enough force is applied to the head of the wrench. When the block is dislodged, the bottom of the tang strikes the body of the wrench, making a click sound. When you twist the handle to increase or decrease the torque setting, this changes the preload of a spring below the cam and pivot block.The pivot block can wear on the edges. The wear can cause the wrench to be inaccurate in the clockwise rotation but accurate in the counter-clockwise direction. If the wrench is dropped, it can shift the pivot block. The spring can also fatigue, causing the wrench to click before reaching the desired torque.
