Flexible heads

A range of six micrometer torque wrenches are available from Facom; four with fixed ratcheting heads and two with flexible heads. All feature Nm and inch-pound scales and are available in a variety of lengths. The tools make light work of tightening cylinder head bolts or replacing an alloy wheel. When the set torque is reached when tightening, a click noise sounds and tension is automatically releases to prevent over-tightening.
