1/2-Inch Drive Motor Angular Torque Gauge, 0-360° Scale

Brief Overview

This angular torque gauge is a specialized measurement tool designed for applications requiring both torque control and rotational angle documentation. Essential in automotive assembly, this tool pairs seamlessly with precision torque wrenches to monitor fastener tightening sequences. The 1/2-inch drive connection integrates directly with standard ratchet handles and torque wrench systems, making it an indispensable addition to any shop managing fastener integrity protocols.

Key Features

• 1/2-Inch Drive Interface: Direct compatibility with standard torque wrenches and ratchet systems
• Full 0-360° Rotation Scale: Captures complete angular travel for multi-turn fastening applications
• 2° Pitch Resolution: Fine-resolution markings enable precise angle documentation (180 distinct 2° increments)
• Clear Dial Markings: 30° primary intervals with secondary tick marks for easy field reading
• Knurled Bezel & Locking Hardware: Secure mounting with adjustable positioning arm and thumbscrew for bench or hand-held use
• Durable Metal Construction: Silver-finished die-cast body with black hardware for shop-floor durability

Business Advantages for Resellers

This is a specification-critical tool with steady demand in sectors requiring angle-torque documentation:

• Regulatory Compliance: Industries like automotive powertrain, aerospace fastening, and industrial assembly increasingly mandate angle-torque verification for warranty and traceability claims
• Recurring Shop Needs: Shops performing fastener assembly (heads, covers, mountings, engine components) require multiple units to maintain workflow consistency
• Training & Onboarding Tool: New technicians use this alongside standard torque wrenches to learn proper fastening sequences
• Margin Stability: Narrow margin compression on torque instruments is offset by consistent B2B demand and low return rates

Application Context

This tool addresses a specific operational need: angle-turn fastening protocols. In modern automotive assembly, many critical fasteners use a "torque-to-yield" (TTY) or "torque-then-angle" method:

1. Tighten to a specified torque value (e.g., 50 Nm)
2. Rotate an additional defined angle (e.g., 90°) to reach plastic deformation and load consistency
3. Document both values for traceability

This gauge enables the angle documentation step with precision and repeatability. Shops managing engine rebuilds, transmission assembly, or suspension work rely on this tool to verify that technicians are following specification sheets exactly.

Why Stock This Product

• Zero Cross-Selling Friction: Pairs naturally with mid-range torque wrenches in the 40-220 Nm range that shops already order
• Low Inventory Burden: Compact, non-perishable, minimal shelf space
• Professional Credibility: Offering angle-torque measurement signals to your customers that you understand modern fastening science
• Specification-Driven Demand: When a shop's customers (OEM or aftermarket) require documented torque-angle compliance, they turn to their supplier to source the measurement tool
