Product Information
Product Name: Torque Wrench – 1/2D
Model Number: 6112
Manufacturer: Lasertools
Website: www.lasertools.co.uk
Introduction
The Torque Wrench – 1/2D is a high-quality and accurate detachable-head, mechanical torque wrench. It is designed to provide precise tensioning of difficult-to-access fasteners. The wrench comes with a 1/2 drive ratchet head and a selection of 10 open-ended spanner heads, allowing it to be used in both ratcheting and fixed wrench modes. It is particularly suitable for use in tight spaces, such as the front or side of an engine or underneath a vehicle. The torque setting can be locked for continuous accurate work.
Features
- Ratchet left/right control (A)
- Nm – ft/lb reference scale (B)
- Torque adjustment indicator sight window (C)
- Adjustment ferrule release button (D)
- Adjustment ferrule (E)
Product Usage Instructions
Adjusting the Torque Setting
- Push the ferrule release button (D).
- Pull back the adjustment ferrule (E).
- Turn the adjustment ferrule clockwise to increase the torque setting or anticlockwise to decrease it. The torque setting is displayed in the adjustment indicator sight window (C).
- To lock the wrench at the desired setting, press the button D again and push back the adjustment ferrule.
- When finished using the instrument, wind back the adjustment ferrule until the legend “STOP” appears in the adjustment indicator sight window.
- Replace the instrument in its case.
Changing the Head
- Depress the spring-loaded ball to release the head.
- Remove the existing head.
- Fit the desired head and push it fully home until it clicks into place.
Torque Wrench Calibration
Each torque wrench comes with its own certificate of test and calibration. The
calibration certificate is produced on the date the product is tested, after
manufacture, and is dated accordingly.
The product is considered new and unused until it is sold, so the purchase
receipt date is considered the start of use date.
Precautions
- Follow the instructions carefully to ensure accurate torque measurements.
- Keep the torque wrench clean and free from debris.
- Store the torque wrench in its case when not in use to protect it from damage.
- Do not exceed the maximum torque capacity of the wrench.
- Regularly check and maintain the calibration of the torque wrench.
Introduction
High quality and accurate detachable-head, mechanical torque wrench supplied with a 1/2″ drive ratchet head plus a selection of 10 open-ended spanner heads which enables accurate tensioning of difficult to access fasteners. Thus the torque wrench can be used in both ‘ratcheting’ mode and ‘fixed wrench’ mode. Particularly suitable where access at the front or side of the engine, or underneath the vehicle, is often tight. Torque setting can be locked for continuous accurate work.

Adjusting the Torque Setting
Refer to Figure 1 and 2:
- Push ferrule release button (D).
- Pull back adjustment ferrule (E).
- Turn adjustment ferrule clockwise to increase (anticlockwise to decrease) the torque setting which is displayed in the adjustment indicator sight window (C).
- To lock at the desired setting, press button D again and push back the adjustment ferrule.
- When finished using the instrument, wind back the adjustment ferrule until the legend STOP appears in the adjustment indicator sight window (refer to Figure 2). Then replace instrument in case.
Changing the Head
Refer to Figure 3:
- Depress spring-loaded ball to release head.
- Remove existing head.
- Fit desired head and push fully home until it clicks into place.
Note: Although instrument is designed for measuring torque in a clockwise direction (right-hand thread) only, the heads can be fitted at 180º which will let torque be set in an anticlockwise (left-hand thread) direction if the application requires it.
Torque Wrench Calibration
Each wrench comes with its own certificate of test and calibration. The calibration certificate is produced on the date the product is tested, after manufacture and dated with this date. The product is new and un-used until it’s sold, so the purchase receipt date is the start of use date.
Precautions
- Always refer to the manufacturer’s specified torque figures and methods of tightening.
- For first time use, or after a long period without use, adjust wrench up and down a few times to distribute lubricant throughout the mechanism.
- Tighten in a steady and controlled manner and stop applying pressure immediately the required setting has been reached —when the wrench arrives at the set torque it will ‘click’ — STOP applying force when the wrench clicks. DO NOT continue to apply force.
- Tightening too quickly or in a jerky manner will result in an inaccurate final torque figure.
- Do not adjust down to another torque setting; adjust down to zero then back up to the desired torque setting.
- When finished using the instrument, wind back the adjustment ferrule until the legend STOP appears in the in the adjustment indicator sight window (refer to Figure 2). Take care not to turn the adjuster lower than the STOP setting or the mechanism may be damaged.
- Never use the torque wrench to tighten a fastener to a higher torque than the maximum torque setting.
- Do not use the torque wrench as a breaker bar.
- Do not use the torque wrench to undo fasteners.
- Take care of the torque wrench and keep it clean; when finished, always return to case.
- Do not store in areas of high temperature or humidity.
