Product Information

We had a guy come to work and certify our torque wrenches, and he had one of those digital adapters.

During the original build I used my 220Nm max Teng 1/2" torque wrench and a 1/2" to 3/4" adapter both of which I already had to torque the nut to 220Nm and then intentionally went further, over tightening the nut to the approximately 270Nm. The M7 GTW-941 digital torque adapter converts standard 1/2" square drive ratchets into digital torque wrenches. One thing to be aware of is the rated torque range on the adaptor; they'll often provide a reading even when well outside of their intended range.Just by using this adapter you can convert any ratchet into a torque wrench, allowing the fixing to be tightened precisely.

In my toolset all the torque wrenches I had applied a maximum torque of 220Nm, and those capable of such a specification were 1/2" inch wrenches. The only disadvantage I’ve found with it is that a regular ratchet isn’t as long as a torque wrench, so you don’t get as much leverage when using it.The tool is also supplied with documentation supporting calibration and testing, certifying the accuracy of the device and based on those results its certainly more than appropriate for the use I've planned. What I thought might be interesting is to compare the application of torque with the two torque wrenches I commonly use when working on the 7 and other cars I own. Before looking too hard for a calibration method, I'd test the adapter as-is, calibration may not be necessary. At the same time, adapter is suitable for a variety of application scenarios, including automotive, home appliances and other common equipment.

The tool is supplied with two large watch batteries required to operate the device, they are installed by removing the battery cover on the side.Covering all popular engineering units in Europe, USA, AU and Asia, the adaptors feature a 10-torque memory to save time, auto-zeroing to avoid resetting the torque after each use, and a unique tracking number on each unit.

Due to its small size, it can also be perfectly accommodated in the on-board tool kit and, can easily be included in your rally going tool box.

Simply set the desired torque value, plug in a ratchet and socket, and tighten the fastener until the digital display and audible tone indicate you've reached your target torque.The idea being to secure the Clarke Torque adapter within a bench vice and then apply torque using the other wrenches to a set level, reviewing the results on both the Clarke adapter against the wrenches.
