Built to apply torque to nuts and bolts, a torque wrench is your tool for tightening the right amount without overdoing it. Perfect for the automotive, construction and mechanical engineering industries, torque wrenches are like spanners but with higher accuracy and greater capacity for user control. This is due to their internal mechanism that can limit the force applied to a rotational fastener, reducing damage risk.
Like many trade tools, torque wrenches come in different shapes, sizes and models. At Bits4Blokes, we have many torque wrenches for sale, which you can learn about below.
A deflecting beam torque wrench is one of the most uncomplicated and affordable models. It consists of a long beam with a calibrated scale and pointer. When you apply torque to the handle, the beam deflects, and the pointer indicates the amount of torque you’re applying. Deflecting beam torque wrenches are straightforward but may need more precision than other types.

Micrometer torque wrenches feature a micrometer-style adjustment mechanism, allowing you to adjust precise torque settings in small increments. They offer high accuracy and repeatability and are common in automotive, aerospace and manufacturing applications requiring precise torque control. For example, you may use this torque wrench for car tyres.
Digital torque wrenches utilise electronic sensors to measure torque, featuring a digital display to provide real-time torque readings. These wrenches offer precise torque measurement and may include additional features such as programmable torque settings, memory storage and data-logging capabilities. Digital torque wrenches are commonly used in applications where accurate torque control is critical, such as automotive, aerospace and manufacturing industries.
We may have torque on our side, but wrenches aren’t the only workshop tools on our shelves. We also stock handy-dandy devices such as blow guns. Moreover, many of our tools come in nifty carry kits; a soldering kit is just one example. If you want the most powerful tools for your workshop — or the most compact and convenient way to organise them — look no further than Bits4Blokes. We’ve got it all!
Whether you want a 3/4 drive torque wrench or a 1/4 torque wrench in digital, you can count on Bits4Blokes to provide the torque spanner you need in your ideal size and model. Tackle your next project with the best trade tools on the market — shop torque wrenches at Bits4Blokes!
