Description:

For the fasteners used on some vehicles, automotive manufacturers are specifying both torque and angle settings. With the gauge, the professional mechanic can meet the demands of the new specifications: to turn the fastener a specified number of degrees after initial torque is set. The gauge takes the guesswork out of tightening by indicating the number of degrees that the fastener is turned on a large, easy-to-read scale.

• 360° angle scale- clearly marked in 2° increments, and in intervals of 10 & 30

• Indicator etched on clear plastic plate- protects angle scale from dirt and grease

• Adjustable arm keeps angle scale stationary. Arm has two lengths for additional flexibility in placement against components.

• Easy disassembly for cleaning- just unclip retaining ring.

Torque + Angle Specification:

Example: If a torque + angle specification is given as 50 N°m + 70°, the fastener is first torque to a threshold of 50N°m; then it is turned 70°. If the specification reads 50N°m + 70°, torque is first set to the 50N°m threshold. Each bolt in the sequence is then turned 70° once. When the entire sequence has been tightened to 70°, each bolt in the sequence is given a second 70° turn.

The Torque + Angle Method:

• Select a torque wrench, which indicates the threshold value at midrange. Torque the fastener to the manufacturer's threshold torque.

• Attach the proper size socket to the gauge. Attach the socket with gauge to the fastener.

• Turn the arm clockwise until it meets a firm point of resistance.

• Zero the gauge by turning the housing until it lines up with the 0° setting.

• Connect a breaker bar, ratchet or other square drive to the gauge.

• Holding the arm assembly firmly, turn the fastener the number of degrees specified. The proper clamp load has now been set and no further torquing is needed
