Torque Wrench
Tools
At q
or ue wrench and spanner wrench are included in the
kit to loosen and tighten the connectors. The small torque
wrench is used for the 3.5 mm nuts. The large torque
wrench is used for the 20 mm nuts on the precision
adapters. It is included with the test set. The spanner
wrench is used to hold the precision adapter while using
the appropriate torque wrench to tighten the connection.
Also included is the hex wrench for tightening and
loosening the adapter anti-rotation clamp securing screws.
Spanner Wrench
When making connections, turn the nut on the device,
never turn the device itself. Turning the device will cause
excessive wear of both connector mating surfaces and
cause debris to collect in the female receptacle.

If necessary, use the spanner to hold one device
stationary against the direction of torque.
3.
Hold the torque wrench with your thumb and index
finger near the end of the handle.
4.
Tighten the connection until the ball in the handle
crests on the cam (as the handle begins to “break”,
releasing tension).

handle of the torque wrench to reach the fully-specified
torque. As soon as the handle moves out of alignment, the
connection is properly torqued.
