CHARACTERISTICS:
Capacity from 1 up to 8 Nm
The Giustaforza 1-8 is especially attractive for very sensitive bolts. On those, where the right torque matters most, tightening values can be easily exceeded without the user knowing. Going as low as 1 Nm puts the Giustaforza 1-8 in a league on its own. In use, always refer to the torque values specified on technical documents or printed on the parts themselves.

Easy to use
Set the desired torque rotating the wrench end knob, reading the torque value on the scale (scale resolution is 0.25 Nm, integers and .5 on the left, .25 and .75 on the right). IMPORTANT: the thicker line on the dial should be centered on the desired value on the scale;
insert the appropriate bit (depending on the bolt you need to tighten);
using the tool, a loud ‘CLICK’ and a 5° free-movement tells when the torque has been reached;
always take the wrench to minimum torque value after use.
Minimal, fixed head
The simple, ‘non-ratcheting’ head has been designed to operate where space is limited, for example with some seat clamps. This small head is a unique asset to work in tight areas. Compatible with standard 1/4” bits.

Lightweight and compact
The light aluminum body keeps the weight below 140 g, less than half the weight of other torque wrenches in this range of torque. This is paramount to get the right feedback at low torque values, without mistaking the effort to hold the tool with the applied torque. Its overall length is 145 mm.

A state-of-the art tool, built to last
Functional, linear in design and precise in any detail: Giustaforza 1-8 has a hard-anodized aluminum body with laser-etched inscriptions, and it’s built to last. The mechanical, click-type functioning makes the wrench extremely shock tolerant. The absence of batteries or electronics increases its reliability. Each sample is checked and numbered as a single masterpiece.

Calibration service
The +-4% tolerance is guaranteed for 5000 cycles (5000 ‘clicks’), then the wrench should be re-calibrated. Calibration is a service we offer in our laboratory in Lugano (Switzerland) at the cost of 50 CHF.
With every calibration, the tolerance of +-4% over nominal value will extend for 5000 cycles. After calibration, the wrench will return to the customer with a calibration certificate.

Giustaforza is made in Italy.
