Enjoying maintenance of your beloved car in the garage on a holiday. For car enthusiasts, the time spent maintaining their vehicles by hand is something special. However, it's not just about tightening bolts and nuts as much as possible. Too much tightness can damage the parts, while too little tightness may lead to loosening during driving.

This is where KTC's preset torque wrench, the "CMPD series," comes into focus. It is a tool that informs you when you reach the preset torque through tactile feedback.

The distinctive feature is the metal grip made of metal. The surface has a knurled finish with fine grooves that prevents slipping. Additionally, the grip has a line as a guide for hand positioning. By gripping it centered on this line, one can apply force at the appropriate position.

It also features a union mechanism to prevent the socket from accidentally falling off, and the practical push-button for attachment and detachment. The scale has a clearly readable engraved finish. Changing the set torque is simplified to just pulling down the lock ring and rotating the grip, pursuing ease of use.
