ELORA torque wrench set from Germany

A torque wrench is one of those tools that quietly determines the quality of your work. Whether you're tightening bolts on a car engine, assembling machinery, or working on precision equipment, the amount of force you apply makes a big difference. A torque wrench helps you control that force so every fastener is tightened exactly as needed—nothing more and nothing less.

Among the many brands available, ELORA Germany stands out as one of the most trusted names for professional torque wrenches. With decades of engineering experience and strict German manufacturing standards, ELORA torque wrenches have earned a solid reputation in workshops, factories, and automotive garages worldwide.


What a Torque Wrench Actually Does

How a torque wrench works to apply precise tightening force

A torque wrench is designed to measure and apply a specific level of torque to a nut or bolt. This is important because over-tightening can damage threads or deform components, while under-tightening can cause parts to loosen or fail. In simple terms, a torque wrench ensures every connection is secure and safe according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Industries like automotive, industrial maintenance, heavy machinery, and even aerospace rely on torque wrenches because precision isn’t optional—it’s required. Even for home projects, the right torque helps prevent costly mistakes.

How a Torque Wrench Works

Illustration explaining how a torque wrench applies torque

Most torque wrenches, including those from ELORA, use a click-type mechanism. Before starting, you set your desired torque on the scale. As you tighten the bolt, the wrench builds tension. Once the preset torque is reached, the wrench produces a clear click and releases slightly to signal that the correct torque has been reached. This prevents accidental over-tightening and makes precision easy.

How to Use an ELORA Torque Wrench Correctly

Instructions for using an ELORA torque wrench safely and accurately

Using a torque wrench is straightforward. After determining the required torque, set the wrench to the correct value. Tighten the bolt slowly until you hear the click. Once you feel the click, stop tightening immediately. After finishing the job, return the wrench to its lowest setting to preserve the internal spring mechanism and maintain long-term accuracy.
