Extended range of break-back Torque Wrenches

Designed to be robust, reliable and easy to use, the new 2R (270 N·m) and 2AR (340 N·m) torque wrenches, featuring a break-back torque signal, are the latest products from Norbar Torque Tools.

The new 2R and 2AR responds to the need for a smaller model of the enduringly popular industrial break-back torque wrenches.

Simple to use, the 2R and 2AR’s design offers a profiled cam and reaction plate, providing a much clearer ‘torque break point’. For the operator, this means that the possibility of over-torqueing has been reduced dramatically in comparison to traditional clicker torque wrenches, optimising performance and precision in any task.

The unmistakable torque signal that the break-back provides, means that the wrench can be safely used in noisy environments where the ‘click’ signal of other wrenches may be missed, such as when changing a tyre on the roadside.  Furthermore, the ‘break’ can not only be seen by the operator, but also by supervisors, meaning they can visually check for correct operation of the wrench from many metres away.

The 2R and 2AR also feature an improved scale, which is said to be easy to read and set, and is fitted with a protective lens to shield the screen from dust, dirt and spray.

Offering impeccable control, the 2R and 2AR are calibrated to deliver accurate results within +4% of a reading, despite the demanding working conditions expected for the wrenches.

Additional features include the push-through ratchet which is easily replaceable and allows two direction torqueing, and the integral pull-out adjustment bar which means no additional torque setting tools are required.

The 2R and 2AR wrenches also come with a padded fabric shoulder bag, which also holds a set of instructions and a copy of the calibration certificate. This ensures all important documents are kept in one place, and alongside the wrenches.
