Stanley Proto Industrial Tools (www.stanleyproto.com) recently introduced nine new Interchangeable Head torque wrenches and 125 head attachments. The wrenches consist of three electronic, two micrometer, and four pre-set versions, in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 in. drives, with torque values from 25 in-lbs to 250 ft-lbs. The attachments include Ratcheting, Open-End, and Box heads, in metric and inch sizes. An easy to understand part-numbering system matches the correct torque wrench to the attachment.
The Interchangeable Head system addresses the fact that mechanical assemblies are becoming tighter and more compact. The new wrenches allow users to remove the ratchet head and replace it with an open end or box head, whose narrower profile can fit into tighter spaces.
The new wrenches also keep workers productive by letting them change heads without having to recalculate torque values. That's because the box and open-end attachments have the same center-to-center distance as the ratchet heads that fit on the same wrench. Each attachment is also marked with a recommended maximum torque value to prevent over-torquing of fasteners.
The new head attachments offer the same features and benefits as other Stanley Proto wrenches. For example:
Open Ends are angled to 15° to help increase the total arc swing that a fastener can be turned by flipping the wrench over. This helps keep the wrench clear of obstructions.
Ratcheting heads combine a low profile with a 15° arc swing for working in tight spaces, as well as a reversing lever design for quick, one handed operation. The 24-tooth configuration fits 4, 6 and 12-point fasteners.
Box heads feature the patented Proto® Torque Plus™ Design, which engages the fastener flats, not the corners, and is countersunk on both sides, making it easier to get the wrench on the fastener. The 12-point Box end is indexed to 7.5° to help keep the shank clear of obstructions by allowing the user to flip the wrench over to continue turning the fastener.
The Electronic version includes a rotating head for easy viewing of LCD display. Three-way Red/Green/Yellow lights and an audible buzzer tell users when the target torque is approaching, met, or exceeded. Target torque zone is adjustable from 1% to 10% of targeted torque value.
The wrenches meet or exceed ASME B107.14M specification.
