Precision Torque Keys for Perfect Results

When it comes to tightening screws, accuracy isn’t just about neatness — it’s about safety, performance, and protection. Whether you’re assembling cutter heads, adjusting screws for wedges, or maintaining general workshop equipment, using the right amount of torque ensures that every fitting is secure without risking damage.

That’s where torque keys come in. Our new 4 Nm and 8 Nm torque keys take the guesswork out of tightening by delivering consistent, calibrated force every time.

What Torque Really Means

Torque is simply the amount of turning force applied to a fastener — measured in Newton metres (Nm). Too little torque and screws can loosen over time; too much, and threads can strip or materials can crack. The correct torque value ensures each component is clamped firmly without overstressing it.

By using a pre-set torque key, you guarantee that every screw receives exactly the right pressure — no more and no less.

4 Nm vs 8 Nm – What’s the Difference?

Different components and materials call for different torque levels:

4 Nm Torque Key:
Ideal for lighter, more delicate fittings such as screws for spurs. This setting prevents overtightening and cracking while ensuring a secure hold.

8 Nm Torque Key:
Perfect for parts that require greater clamping force, such as screws for wedges or jaws.

Why Using the Correct Torque Key Matters

Using the right torque key isn’t just about making the job easier; it’s about protecting your equipment and ensuring everything performs the way it should. Here’s why applying the correct torque really matters.

Prevents Damage:
Avoid stripped threads or cracked parts caused by overtightening.

Improves Safety:
Ensures critical fittings stay tight under pressure.

Delivers Consistency:
Every fastener is tightened exactly the same way, ensuring uniform results and reliable performance.

Why Choose Our 4 Nm and 8 Nm Torque Keys

Ready to Use:
Each key comes pre-fitted with a 4mm Hex or T20 Torx bit, so you can get started straight away.

Simple and Convenient:
The only pre-set torque key that lets you tighten and loosen screws using the same tool, ensuring effortless operation.

Clear, Confident Feedback:
When the maximum torque is reached, the tool allows a 20° overrun, giving you distinct tactile feedback to prevent overtightening.

Comfortable, Ergonomic Grip:
The ergonomic polymer T-handle is designed for a secure four-finger and palm grip, providing comfort and control during use.

Fast and Flexible:
A magnetic ¼″ hex bit holder lets you quickly swap out bits, making it easy to switch between different screw types and complete jobs faster.
