How to Adjust the Torque Setting for the IPT Preset Click Wrench – Blog | Mountz Torque Tips & Solutions

An IPT preset click wrench securely prevents an operator from either incidentally or intentionally tamper with a tool’s torque setting.  Designed with durable all-steel construction and a corrosion-resistant finish, the IPT metal handle click wrenches are suitable for various production environments like machinery, aerospace, energy, automotive & transportation and appliance industries.

Preset torque wrenches are typically used for production applications where there is one torque setting required. However, if the torque specification changes or a new project requires a different torque setting, the preset torque wrench is still flexible enough that a new torque setting can be set.  Adjusting the preset torque value for Mountz IPT 18 – IPT 250 models, these two items are needed:
1. Torque adjusting set key (Item # 280049)
2. Torque testing system that that covers the torque range of the wrench

The video below provides a “how-to” guide and tips for adjusting the preset torque value with these IPT click wrench models (IPT 18 – IPT 250).

The IPT click wrench features a lightly knurled non-slip grip. Designed and manufactured to meet or exceed the accuracy and repeatability requirements of ISO6789: 2003, Mountz offers  various models covering a torque range from 3.7 to 885.6 foot-pounds.

Using a quality preset click wrench makes a safer world through accuracy and precision. Controlling torque is essential for companies to ensure their product’s quality, safety and reliability isn’t compromised. The failure of a three-cent fastener that isn’t properly tightened can lead to catastrophic or latent failures. Fasteners that are insufficiently fastened can vibrate loose and excessive torque can strip threaded fasteners.
