Tork Craft Digital Torque Gauge Adaptor 6-200Nm 1/2' Drive
At a Glance: Versatile digital torque gauge with a 6-200Nm measuring range, 0.1Nm resolution, 1/2' male and female drives, Tracking, Peak and Pre-set modes, plus audible and visual torque alerts.
Take accurate control of fastening work with the Tork Craft TCTQA12200 Digital Torque Gauge Adaptor. Designed to measure torque applied to bolts, nuts and screws, this compact electronic gauge offers a useful 6-200Nm operating range with 0.1Nm resolution and can be fitted between a compatible hand-operated drive tool and socket. Tracking, Peak and Pre-set modes give the user flexibility for different tightening tasks, while the backlit LCD display provides a clear digital reading of the torque being applied. An audible buzzer and LED warning system help indicate when a selected torque setting is being approached and reached, while Peak-mode memory allows readings to be stored and reviewed. Supplied with 3/8' and 1/4' drive adaptors, batteries and a PH0 screwdriver, the TCTQA12200 is a practical torque-measuring solution for automotive, manufacturing, construction, workshop and DIY applications.
The TCTQA12200 combines a 1/2' female input and 1/2' male output with electronic torque measurement, allowing suitable ratchet handles, sliding T-handles and power bars to be used as part of a controlled torque setup. Its 6-200Nm range provides useful coverage for a wide selection of fastening jobs, while the supplied 1/2' female to 3/8' male and 1/2' female to 1/4' male adaptors extend compatibility with smaller drive accessories.

- LED and buzzer indication: Gives progressive visual and audible feedback as the selected torque setting is approached.
- Memory storage: Peak-mode readings can be stored and recalled.
- Selectable measurement units: Choose between Nm, lbf.ft, lbf.in and kgf.cm.
- Battery powered: Operates using two AAA 1.5V batteries.
- Automatic sleep mode: Activates after approximately two minutes of inactivity to conserve battery power.
- Overload indication: The display shows an overload warning if excessive torque is applied.
Benefits
- Controlled fastening: Helps the user tighten fasteners to specified torque values rather than relying only on feel.
- Broad working range: The 6-200Nm capacity provides useful coverage for many automotive, workshop and mechanical applications.
- Progressive torque feedback: The LED and buzzer provide clear guidance as the selected torque value is approached.
- Use existing hand tools: Adds digital torque-measuring capability to compatible ratchets, power bars and other manual drive tools.
- Flexible drive compatibility: The included 3/8' and 1/4' adaptors allow use with a wider selection of sockets and accessories.
- Convenient monitoring: The backlit LCD and Peak-mode memory make torque readings easy to view and review.
Application
- Measuring torque applied to bolts, nuts and screws.
- Automotive servicing and mechanical repair.
- Manufacturing and assembly applications.
- Construction and installation work.
- Workshop maintenance and servicing.
- Controlled fastening of mechanical components.
- DIY applications where a specified torque value is required.
Extra Information
- Clockwise accuracy: 2%.
- Anti-clockwise accuracy: 2.5%.
- Torque warning system: Once approximately 80% of the selected torque value is reached, the LED begins flashing and the buzzer sounds. The indication becomes progressively faster as the target is approached and becomes continuous at 100%.
- Peak data storage: Torque readings can be saved and recalled when operating in Peak mode. Data saving is not available in Tracking or Pre-set modes.
- Battery indication: Replace the batteries when the battery indicator displays only one of its three bars.
- Low-voltage protection: The gauge automatically switches off if battery voltage drops below approximately 2.2V.
- Calibration recommendation: To help maintain measuring accuracy, calibration is recommended once a year, after unusual handling or overloading, or after approximately 5000 cycles.
- Care and storage: Keep the gauge protected from harsh chemicals, moisture, excessive heat, vibration and accidental drops.
Pro Tips
- Switch the gauge on before applying any load. Applying force before start-up can cause an offset value to appear and require a reset.
- Apply torque with a slow, smooth and steady pull or push rather than a sudden movement for better control.
- Use Pre-set mode when carrying out repetitive fastening operations to the same specified torque value.
- Use Peak mode when you want to capture and review the maximum torque reached during a tightening operation.
- Always confirm the specified tightening torque from the vehicle, machine or component manufacturer before starting work.
- Avoid extensions that move the centre of the fastener away from the centreline of the drive, as this can alter the effective torque applied.
- Protect the gauge from drops and heavy impacts, as physical shock can affect accuracy and may require recalibration.
How to Use
- Install two AAA 1.5V batteries in the battery compartment, observing the correct positive and negative orientation.
- Press the P/C button to switch on the digital torque gauge. Press P/C while the gauge is on if the displayed value needs to be cleared.
- Press the M button repeatedly to select Tracking, Peak or Pre-set mode.
- When setting a target torque, use the + and - buttons to increase or decrease the required value.
- Press the U/S button to confirm the torque selection and cycle through the available measurement units: Nm, lbf.ft, lbf.in or kgf.cm.
- Fit the appropriate socket or drive attachment to the square drive. Use one of the supplied adaptors where required.
- Position the socket securely on the fastener and apply a slow, steady force using the hand-operated drive tool.
- At approximately 80% of the selected torque value, the LED and buzzer begin signalling. The warning becomes faster as the selected torque is approached.
- Stop applying force when the required torque has been reached and the LED and buzzer provide the continuous target indication. Do not continue tightening beyond the required value.
- When using Peak mode, the maximum torque value remains displayed and can be saved using the Mode/Save button for later recall.
