) Tightening time
Longer tightening time results in in-
creased tightening torque. Excessive
tightening, however, adds no value
and reduces the life of the tool.
3) Different bolt diameters
The size of the bolt diameter affects
the tightening torque.
Generally, as the bolt diameter in-
creases, tightening torque rises.
4) Tightening conditions
Tightening torque will vary, even with
the same bolt, according to grade,
length, and torque coefficient (the
fixed coefficient indicated by the
manufacturer upon production).
Tightening torque will vary, even with
the same bolting material (e.g. steel),
according to the surface finish.
Torque is greatly reduced when the
bolt and nut start turning together.
5) Socket play
Torque is lowered as the six-sid-
ed configuration of the socket of the
wrong size is used to tighten a bolt.
6) Switch (Variable speed control trigger)
Torque is lowered if the unit is used
with the switch not fully depressed.
7) Effect of Connecting Adapter
The tightening torque will be lowered
through the use of a universal joint or
a socket adapter.
