ESCO 1" Break-Back Style Torque Wrench

ESCO 1 inch break-back style torque wrench for large wheel torque service

Best Torque Wrench for Heavy-Duty Wheel Service

The 1" break-back style torque wrench from ESCO is built for techs who need reliable, repeatable torque accuracy on large wheel assemblies. Whether you're working on trucks, buses, or heavy machinery, this torque tool delivers the muscle and precision you need, without throwing off your stance or pace. A large break angle helps prevent over-torquing, while the cam-controlled mechanism ensures each cycle is smooth and predictable, even during high-volume work.

If you're asking, “What’s the best torque wrench for big wheel service?” - this is the one that gets it done without the fatigue or guesswork.

What Makes It Different?

Unlike standard click-style torque wrenches, this break-back model reduces user strain by "breaking" at the preset torque without requiring an abrupt stop. That means fewer jolts to the wrist and more consistent results, especially on dual wheels or long job runs. It’s designed specifically for high-torque applications where precision isn’t optional.

  • Break-back action prevents accidental over-tightening
  • Cam mechanism maintains a stable, controlled break
  • Built for large lug nut applications - ideal for trucks and buses

How It Performs on the Job

This wrench has a torque range of 50–350 Nm, making it perfect for everything from heavy-duty wheel studs to drivetrain components. At 600 mm long, it gives you solid leverage without being clumsy. The 1/2" drive fits most commercial sockets, and the ±4% accuracy gives you confidence with every torque spec you hit.

  • Great control and balance - even under pressure
  • Reduces hand fatigue on repetitive torquing jobs
  • Excellent for mobile or in-shop heavy vehicle service

Who Is This Torque Wrench For?

If you're servicing commercial vehicles, agricultural equipment, or any fleet that needs dependable torque specs, this wrench belongs in your toolbox. It's also a strong pick for tire techs working with dual wheels where access and control matter.

Ideal For:

  • Heavy-duty truck and bus maintenance
