Torqueing it Easy


Aimed at: Professionals and keen amateurs with a bit of budget Pros: So easy to use, almost fool proof and possibly saves the cost of having more than one torque wrench.


similar level of convenience when it comes to changing sockets etc. The Manoskop 730 Quick has a simple oblong socket into which spanner heads and square drives can be slotted. They are easy to release by simply pushing the green plastic button on the end of the shaft. I did have a small query about this arrangement because if the square drive is inserted ‘upside down’ the button release doesn’t work. Fortunately Stahlwille has provided a little hole where you can insert a


pen/file/whatever to push down the release button. I admit that this might not happen often because the orientation of the wrench is almost always the ‘correct’ way, but mistakes happen. What you can be sure of though, is that the QuickRelease Safety lock, while it is


quick, will not release until you do it – it is safely held while working. Accessories There are several accessories that will fit either to the square drives, or straight into the end of the wrench. I tried the wheelnut socket and the spark plug socket on my car. A mechanic friend who gave the wrench a once over could really see the benefits of the ‘Quick’ aspects of the system, in terms of saving time and hassle for a busy mechanic working to deadlines.


He also liked the fact that there was no need for a manual


reset to zero on this wrench made possible by STAHLWILLE’s unique triggering cam mechanism. This means the mechanism is not under any load unless a force is applied, even when it is left set,


therefore you do not need to release the tension from the spring, as with conventional torque wrenches. Once it has clicked as the


torque is reached, the job is done and the wrench can be moved straight on to the next bolt.


Compared to the other old style torque


wrenches I have used, the Stahlwille Manoskop 730 Quick is a more sophisticated wrench, that did the torque to the required spec with no hassle at all.
