Torque Wrench Safety

These precautions should always be taken when using any torque wrench to avoid possible injury: Read instruction manual completely before using torque wrench. Safety glasses or goggles should be worn at all times when using any hand tool. Always pull, DO NOT PUSH, to apply torque. Adjust your stance to prevent a fall. A "cheater bar" should NEVER be used on a torque wrench to apply excess leverage. Do not use with sockets or fasteners showing wear or cracks. Ratchet mechanism may slip or break if dirty, mismatched or worn parts are used. Make sure direction lever is fully engaged.     Contact BlueTools.com for all or your torque tools needs.  We carry torque wrenches, torque screwdrivers, and torque testing equipment.  Call us at 1-336-282-2020 or Fax 1-336-545-5822.
