Frequently Asked Questions about Torque Screwdrivers

What is a torque screwdriver?

A torque screwdriver applies a specific amount of torque to screws, ensuring they are not over-tightened or under-tightened. This precision prevents damage to components and ensures assemblies are secure.

What are the differences between manual, electric and pneumatic torque screwdrivers?

Manual torque screwdrivers are user-powered and suited for occasional use. Electric models provide consistent torque for high-volume tasks, while pneumatic options deliver higher torque for industrial jobs.

How do I select the appropriate torque screwdriver for my needs?

Consider the torque range required, the type of screws you’ll work with and whether you need a manual, electric or pneumatic model. Ergonomics and compatibility with existing tools are also important.

Can a torque screwdriver be used for all screws?

Torque screwdrivers can handle a variety of screws, but it’s crucial to use the correct torque setting and bit type for the screw and material to avoid damage.

Why is it important to calibrate a torque screwdriver?

Calibration ensures the tool applies accurate torque, which is critical for maintaining assembly quality. Calibrate annually or after a specific number of uses, as recommended by the manufacturer.
