Cleco PTW05IC Preset Mechanical Torque Wrench | Interchangeable Head | 0.75 - 3.6 (in-lbs) Torque Range

When low-torque fasteners need repeatable control without relying on operator feel, the Cleco PTW05IC Preset Mechanical Torque Wrench provides a compact, preset solution for light assembly and torque verification work. Its 1 - 5 Nm torque range covers small fasteners that require careful tightening, while the equivalent range of 9 - 44 in-lbs helps buyers match the wrench to inch-pound assembly specifications. The interchangeable head design allows compatible heads to be matched to the access point, fastener style, or production setup.

As part of Cleco’s preset mechanical torque wrench family, the PTW05IC is built for repeatable fastening control in safety- and quality-critical applications. The preset configuration helps reduce unauthorized adjustment during repeated operations, while the supplied 120XP ball lock ratchet head uses a tight 3° swing arc, making it useful in confined work areas where a standard ratchet stroke may be too wide.

Applications:

• Electronics and light assembly — tightening small fasteners where inch-pound torque control helps protect threads and components.
• Aerospace and precision manufacturing — applying repeatable low torque on assemblies that require controlled fastening procedures.
• Quality control and torque verification — checking small fasteners during inspection, rework, and process validation.
• Tool crib standardization — assigning a preset wrench to a specific operation to reduce setting variation between operators.
• Maintenance and repair work — servicing small covers, brackets, panels, and components with specified low-torque requirements.

FAQs:

• Q: What torque range does the Cleco PTW05IC cover?
  A: The PTW05IC covers 1 - 5 Nm, which is equivalent to 9 - 44 in-lbs or 0.75 - 3.6 ft-lbs. This is a low-torque wrench for small fasteners, not a foot-pound wrench for large bolts.
• Q: What does “preset mechanical” mean?
  A: Preset mechanical means the wrench is set to a target torque value rather than adjusted by the operator for every job. This helps keep repeated fastening operations consistent and reduces the chance of accidental setting changes.
• Q: What does “interchangeable head” mean on this wrench?
  A: The wrench accepts compatible interchangeable heads through its 9 x 12 mm interface. This allows the user to select the head style needed for the fastener location and access angle.
• Q: Is the 120XP ratchet head included?
  A: Manufacturer information states that Cleco preset mechanical torque wrenches are supplied with a 120XP ball lock ratchet head. The 3° swing arc helps when working in confined areas.
• Q: Is this wrench suitable for automotive lug nuts or larger bolts?
  A: No. This model is for low-torque inch-pound fastening. For wheel, suspension, or larger maintenance fasteners, select a higher-capacity Cleco torque wrench with a suitable ft-lb range.
