    Electronic torque wrenches are programmable and use a strain gauge and transducer to determine torque levels which are displayed digitally. Click wrenches preset torque levels and use a clutch mechanism to indicate when levels are reached. Beam wrenches have a lever arm with a scale to indicate torque levels applied. Deflecting beam wrenches introduce a deflecting beam for torque application and provide audio and visual indicators of reached torque levels.

    Types of Torque Wrenches

    1. Electronic Torque Wrench

    Electronic torque wrenches are programmable and can have set limits, by which the torque level is determined. A strain gauge attached to a
    torsion rod sends a signal to a transducer to determine the force of torque per unit, which is then displayed via the LED reading. They come
    equipped with a small chip that contains a memory stick to save any readings. These readings can also be accessed on your computer for use on
    spreadsheets and documents.

    2. Click Wrench

    This is based on a socket wrench, but slightly more sophisticated. The user can preset the level of torque using the clutch mechanism. Once the
    torque level is reached, the clutch then starts to slip to indicate the required level. The click torque wrench is a high-precision design that
    prevents the mechanism from overreaching or over-stretching to the point of breaking. Basically this is a shut-off mechanism.

    3. Beam Wrench

    This is a simple and basic type of torque wrench. The wrench head and handle are separated by a lever arm. The lever arm has a certain level of
    elasticity that allows the beam torque wrench to bend slightly at the level of pressure. The indicator remains parallel with the arm when the
    torque wrench is not in use or when no pressure is applied. Once torque is applied, there is a scale that moves to give a reading, much like a
    weighing scale with a needle pointer that indicates the weight of the product.

    4. Plumber's Wrench (No-Hub)

    The plumber's wrench is specifically designed only for use with couplings on soil pipes. The T-shaped handle is similar to a ratchet wrench, but it
    has been pre-calibrated to slip when the sufficient level of torque strength is reached.

    5. Hydraulic Torque Wrench

    A hydraulic torque wrench is specifically created to exert torque to a fastener. The pressure is applied to a nut or bolt head, and the pre-
    calibrated torque can assist in tightening the nut or bold head, provided it is lubricated correctly. This wrench exerts a lot of pressure and
    power, especially when used when working on automobiles.

    6. Deflecting Beam Wrench

    This type of wrench introduces the idea of torque applied to a deflecting beam rather than through the coil spring method. It offers high
    accuracy and better safety when dealing with higher levels of torque pressure. There is an audio effect that allows the user to hear when the
    required level of torque has been reached. The audio and visual aspect make it a safe and clever little mechanism
