Part: Torque Wrench | KT Pro Tools
Why You Need This: A torque wrench is an essential precision tool for working with vintage Honda motorcycles. It ensures that fasteners are tightened to the exact torque value specified in factory service manuals, preventing damage from over-torquing or loosening due to under-torquing.
KT Pro Tools offers click style torque wrenches ideal for this purpose. We provide three different sizes, each suited for specific tasks:
- 1/4" Drive Adjustable Torque Wrench (#9191): Best for small fasteners with low torque values.
- 30-200 in.-lbs. (12 in-lbs = 1 ft-lbs)
- 1/4" Square Drive
- Rubberized Handle
- 3/8" Drive Torque Wrench (#9190): Covers most common needs; the go-to choice.
- 15-80 ft.-lbs.
- 3/8" Square Drive
- Adjustable torque value in 1/2 lb increments
- Knurled Handle
- 1/2" Drive Torque Wrench (#9189): Suitable for large fasteners, commonly found in automotive suspension parts.
- 20-150 ft.-lbs.
- 1/2" Square Drive
- Adjustable torque value in 1/2 lb increments
- Rubberized Handle
All three torque wrenches feature a quick-release ratcheting mechanism, a laser-etched torque scale, and a spring-loaded locking ring for precise adjustments. Rebuild kits for the wrench heads are available, and each comes in a protective plastic case.
NOTE: To maintain accuracy, torque wrenches should be "unloaded" or loosened fully when not in use. This precision tool requires careful handling and should not be dropped, jerked, or used as a breaker bar. Proper torquing techniques involve smooth, incremental movements. These KT Pro torque wrenches, when used and maintained correctly, will provide a lifetime of accurate service.
