Industrial Essential: Do You Know These Types of Torque Wrenches?

In industrial assembly, automotive repair, and heavy machinery maintenance, torque wrenches are essential tools for ensuring bolted connections are safe and reliable. Choosing the wrong type can lead to rework—or worse, safety risks. Torque wrenches generally fall into three main categories, each with distinct advantages for different applications.

1. Click Type Torque Wrench

The most common and classic design. Emits an audible “click” when the preset torque is reached. Simple to operate, battery-free, and built to last.

• Advantages: High reliability, cost-effective, no battery maintenance

• Applications: Automotive repair, general machinery assembly, daily shop use

• ARITER Model: 3/8" Click Torque Wrench, 10-60N.m, 72-tooth precision ratchet, ±3% high accuracy

2. Digital Torque Wrench

Equipped with an electronic display for real-time torque readings. Supports multiple units (N.m / ft-lb / kg.cm), and select models feature angle measurement and data storage.

• Advantages: Intuitive reading, high precision, ideal for complex applications, data traceability

• Applications: Precision assembly, quality control, high-end automotive repair

• ARITER Model: Digital Torque Wrench with large color screen, rechargeable battery—suitable for automotive repair, bicycle maintenance, and industrial assembly

3. Torque Multiplier

When required torque exceeds the capacity of a standard torque wrench, torque multipliers use planetary gear systems to multiply input torque by 3x, 5x, or more—making high-torque applications manageable.

• Advantages: Amplifies force, reduces operator effort, eliminates the need for oversized tools

• Applications: Heavy machinery, wind turbine assembly, large vehicle tire service, industrial production lines

• ARITER Model: 1:3 Torque Multiplier, 1" drive output, 2200 ft-lb / 2982 N.m, includes reaction arm and adapter
