Digital Torque Tester debuts

When technicians reach for a torque wrench, they need to know it’s properly tested and ready to perform. The new Digital Torque Tester (DTT) from Snap-on Industrial ensures just that, company officials say.

The DTT can be mounted on a wall or in a bench-top vise to allow a technician to quickly test torque wrenches and torque screw drivers. The DTT comes in 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2” and 3/4” sizes, and features a touchscreen pad to capture peak torque values during a test in real time. All data can be downloaded to a PC.

Six different styles of the DTT are available, and come in test ranges between 5 and 600 foot pounds. Accuracy is ± 0.50% ±1 count CW and CWW from 10 to 100% of full scale at 25° Celsius, company officials said.

Additional features include:

• Integral transducer and sturdy housing allow mounting in virtually any position
• Transducer: full bridge strain gage, 350 ohm, 1500uE, 3mV/VF.S, 3.75 excitation
• Units of torque: Nm, kgcm, ft.lb., in.lb., in-oz.
• Operation modes: track, peak and first peak
• Audible tone and LED light-bar present alerts
• Display accuracy: 4 digits, 9999 cycle counts

All DTT units are sold in a kit with the tester, hard carrying case, two socket driver reducer adapters and AC/DC power supply.
