BORKA TOOLS Multi Torque & Adjustable Drivers

Just to add a bit to what Ilya said:

 

Hold the torque driver in your hand and so that you see one side of driver arm with 6 torque settings, laser marked on that side. Apply force clockwise to the handle finger groove until handle "breaks over".

Now, do the same, but hold the driver so that you can see the other side of the driver arm with the other 6 torque settings. This time, "break over" force will be different in value. 

 

Two different forces to "break over" handle to the left and to the right of the driver arm are provided by the design of the locking ball detent. When you change the driver arm side, these two forces change places. Because you only use clockwise rotation, only one of two available foces is used for tightening of the fasteners. The other force becomes "active" only when you flip the torque driver over to the other side.      

 

2 pre-set forces x 6 fixed distances = 12 pre-set torque values.   

 

 

And please feel free to ask any questions, express concerns or offer suggestions.

 

For those interested, SWFA should have torque driver kits back in stock soon. As I've mentioned, Brady promptly placed an order last week, it just takes me a bit more time to ship them, which typically happens because of the need to take care of some urgent stuff right away upon return from the Shot Show.

 

 

 

I admit I have a vision problem, which causes me often to fail to estimate certain things with required degree of accuracy.  I'm not sure I was wearing glasses when we met, so things like age and distance estimates could have been in error. My fault, and you're certainly a good man in your 20s... 

 

Please forgive me and put me back on the Hannukah list, O.K.?

 

 

Kortik, thanks for the explanations on some of the technical details related to torque wrenches.
