Advantages of the split-beam mechanism

Split-Beam click-type torque wrenches do not have a coil spring, which means they do not need to be reset after use, as is the case with traditional click-type torque wrenches. This makes them more efficient to use and extends the tool’s service life. The internal measuring elements are made from high-quality raw materials and are relatively simple and reliable. This ensures accurate measurements over the long term and reduces wear and tear.

Robust and durable design

The ratchet head of these torque wrenches is completely sealed, which ensures that lubrication remains inside the head and dirt or moisture cannot enter the ratchet mechanism. This extends the service life and ensures reliable operation. The measurement settings are easy to read thanks to the UV-resistant protective glass with black numbers on a white background. The ergonomic and comfortable handle offers additional convenience during use and is resistant to aggressive (liquid) substances.

Flexible and comfortable

The 80-tooth flexible ratchet head operates at an angle of 10°, providing extra freedom of movement during use. This makes it easier to use the torque wrench in confined spaces, which is often the case when working on vehicles. The torque wrench is also fitted with a quick-adjust torque setting, which you can lock for added safety and control.

Summary

For those looking for a reliable and durable torque wrench for wheel servicing, the Snap-on Split-Beam torque wrench offers an efficient and practical solution. Thanks to its coil-spring-free design, sealed ratchet head and flexible range of movement, this tool is well equipped to withstand the challenges of daily use in the workshop.
