[Tire Change] Notifies you with a “click”! A torque wrench set that lets you tighten to an accurate value

Changing the tires on your beloved car is a little annual ritual that brings you face to face with it. If you could tighten the final nuts with just the “right amount of force” after lifting the body with a jack and swapping the wheels──. The “Torque Wrench Basic Set AM011” is one tool that supports that kind of DIY maintenance.

Reaches the set value with a “click.” Tighten without relying on feel

The “BAL (Ohashi Sangyo) Torque Wrench” is a tool for tightening bolts and nuts to a specified force (torque). The wrench in this set is a preset type that lets you know with a “click” sound and tactile feedback when the preset torque is reached. Tightening that used to be done by putting your weight into a cross wrench and thinking, “This should be about right,” becomes a precise task based on numbers. Being able to finish the job and feel that “it’s properly tightened” makes the enjoyment of doing your own maintenance all the greater.

The torque setting range is 30–180 N·m, covering not only automobile wheel nuts but also motorcycle maintenance. It also comes with a lock knob to keep the set value from shifting, so you can tighten the four tires and around 20 nuts evenly with the same force. Since it’s a ratchet type, you can keep working by moving it back and forth without having to change your grip, making the process smooth.

The set includes 17 mm, 19 mm, and 21 mm deep sockets compatible with aluminum wheels, plus an extension bar. With sizes that fit the wheel nuts of many passenger cars, you can start using it without having to buy extra sockets. It also comes with a blow-molded case that stores the main unit and accessories together. You can keep it neatly stored in a garage or shed, and easily take it out when it’s time to swap tires for the next season.

The main body is made of steel and measures 473 mm in length, weighing 1,300 g. When you pick it up, it has a solid heft that gives it a reassuring, tool-like feel. This set is suited for people who want to try changing between summer and winter tires themselves, and for those who want to assemble a full set of DIY maintenance tools together with a jack and tire stoppers. The color is silver, and black (AM012) is also available.
