REAL AVID SMART-TORQ Adjustable Torque Wrench
USER GUIDE & WARRANTY
SMART-TORQ is an adjustable torque wrench for firearms, firearm accessories and general use. The wrench can be quickly adjusted from 10 to 70 inch-lb in 1 inch-lb increments. Once set to the desired torque, the wrench can be used to precisely tighten fasteners. Once the fastener has reached the desired torque, the wrench clutch plate will slip and deliver an audible and tactile “click”, preventing overtightening. The unidirectional clutch plate will not slip during loosening function. The torque assist and rubberized body allows for an ergonomic grip during high-torque applications.

SAFETY: Before using Smart Torq on a firearm, you must MAKE SURE THAT THE
FIREARM IS UNLOADED AND SAFE to work on. It is your responsibility to exercise
caution during the use of this tool, especially when applying torque. DO NOT
APPLY EXCESSIVE TORQUE. To avoid injury or damage to your firearm, check for
correct fit of all implements carefully before use. To avoid damaging your
firearm, make sure that you are using the proper devices to securely hold it
in place (gun vise, barrel blocks, upper vise blocks, lower vise blocks etc
.).
ADJUSTMENT
Use the adjustment knob to rotate until desired torque is reached, as shown in the two indicator windows. Use the fine-adjustment indicator on the adjustment knob for 1 inch-lb increments. Refer to manufacturer’s recommendation for appropriate torque value.
USE
Attach Force Assist™ for improved control at high-torque applications. Hand rotate fastener into position to prevent cross threading. Attach driver bit for required application. Place hand on free-spinning cap and apply downward pressure on wrench. Apply torque. Fastener will tighten until torque wrench clutch plate slips with an audible “click”. This indicates that the fastener has been tightened with the appropriate level of torque.
TIPS
Start threading a fastener several twists by hand before using a torque wrench
to avoid stripping threads.
One “click” will deliver the correct amount of torque. Several applications of
torque are not required.
Smart-Torq operates in a unidirectional manner. It will “click” at the
indicated torque when tightening conventional fasteners. It will not function
as a torque wrench during loosening operation.
Use Force Assist for heavy torque applications. Remove Force Assist Handle for
quick adjustment or fine application of torque. The Force Assist Handle can be
used for non-torque wrench bit driving.
The small bit driver can be used with a small tap hammer to free stuck
fasteners.
MAINTENANCE
- Smart-Torq is lubricated for life, do not apply lubricant.
- Keep free from dirt and moisture. Do not submerge in water.
- Adjust Smart-Torq to lowest torque setting once operation is complete. Storage of wrench while spring is compressed can cause loss of accuracy or damage. Store in a cool, dry area.
WARNINGS
- Do not apply impact or use as a ratcheting device.
- Unidirectional torque wrench should not be used on non-standard fasteners with left-hand threads.
- Do not adjust wrench beyond 70 inch-lb.
- Do not disassemble wrench. There are no user-serviceable parts.
