Break Open Torque Wrenches Seem to Be Sticking?
Last Updated: Jun 30, 2008
Dr. S. asks:
I have been using the “break open” torque wrenches to torque down my abutment screws. Recently I noticed that some of the torque wrenches seem to be sticking and are possibly not opening up when they reach the desired torque level. How long are these torque wrenches good for and when should they be replaced? Can they be returned to the manufacturer for re-calibration? What is the most accurate and reliable torque wrench?
