Will a large torque wrench break the screws?

  Will a large torque wrench break the screws?

A large torque wrench is a common tool that has a large torque output capacity and can be used to tighten or loosen various screws. However, many people worry that using a large torque wrench will break the screws. Is this true?

First, we need to understand the working principle of a large torque wrench. High torque wrenches use the lever principle to convert manually applied force into greater torque output. This design makes tightening or loosening screws much easier and more efficient. However, due to the large torque output, improper use may have a certain impact on the screws.

When a large torque wrench is used correctly, it will not break the screws. First, we need to choose the appropriate amount of torque to ensure that too much force is not applied. Depending on the specifications and requirements of the screw, we can determine the correct torque value based on the relevant torque table or guide. Secondly, we need to operate the large torque wrench correctly and avoid using too fast or too strong force. Proper use reduces the risk of damage to screws.

However, if used improperly, high torque wrenches may have some adverse effects on screws. For example, if too much torque is applied, the screws may become damaged or break. Additionally, screws may be adversely affected if an incorrect wrench or unsuitable accessory is used. Therefore, before using a large torque wrench, we should carefully read the relevant instruction manual and make sure to select appropriate tools and accessories.

In order to protect the integrity of the screws, we can also take some additional measures. For example, before tightening a screw, you can use a hand wrench or screwdriver to rotate it to a certain extent to reduce the torque output of a large torque wrench. In addition, we can also use some auxiliary tools, such as torque limiters or torque wrench sockets, to ensure that the applied torque does not exceed the bearing capacity of the screw.

Generally speaking, large torque wrenches will not break screws when used correctly. The key is to choose the appropriate torque, operate the tool correctly, and take appropriate protective measures. If you have any questions about using a high torque wrench, it is recommended to consult a professional or relevant manufacturer to ensure the correct and safe use of the tool.
