New VDE torque wrenches 5108VDE (2Nm – 10Nm) and 5109VDE (5Nm – 25Nm) – with 10mm (3/8 inch) drive – from HAZET-WERK – Hermann Zerver GmbH & Co KG can now be disassembled and recalibrated again after use for a long service life.
HAZET explains that the accuracy according to DIN EN ISO 6789:2003 is ± 6% for the 5108VDE wrench and ± 4% for the 5109VDE of scale value (in direction of actuation). The fine scale graduation with vernier scale is designed in steps of 0.2Nm for the 5108VDE and 0.5Nm for the 5109VDE.
Locking on the handle prevents unintentional adjustment of the setting value, making working with the wrenches both easier and safer. Also, when the set torque value is reached, it is signalled to the user with a close gap release click sound. Right/left release is possible with the square box wrench, which means that as a result, tightening with the torque setting both to the right and to the left within the specified tolerance is possible.
Both torque wrenches are also VDE tested and meet the high testing criteria. Using sockets from other manufacturers is also possible provided they conform to the standard IEC 60900:2012 or DIN EN 60900.
The slim wrenches are 275mm (5108VDE) and 305mm (5109VDE) long and weigh 590g (5108VDE) and 640g (5109VDE) respectively. Both conform to high standards and are entirely ‘Made in Germany’.
