Are Warren & Brown torque wrenches made in Australia?

Yes. Warren & Brown is an Australian manufacturer with a long history of producing torque wrenches and precision measuring tools locally, which is why they are a popular choice with Australian mechanics and fitters.

What torque range do I need?

Choose a wrench whose range covers your target torque without sitting at the very top or bottom of the scale. Our Warren & Brown range runs from 10 to 200 inch-pounds for fine work up to 60 to 400Nm for heavy assembly, with several 1/2 inch drive models in between. Ask our Geelong team if you are unsure which suits your fasteners.

What is a deflecting-beam torque wrench?

A deflecting-beam torque wrench measures torque through the controlled flex of a beam against a calibrated scale, rather than a spring. The design is robust, holds its calibration well over time and gives a clear reading, which makes it a long-serving favourite in Australian workshops.

How often should a torque wrench be calibrated?

As a general guide, a torque wrench in regular trade use is recalibrated around once a year or after heavy use, so it keeps reading accurately. Always store it backed off to its lowest setting to protect the mechanism. Ask in store about looking after your wrench.
