Reliable Wheel Torque Setting Equipment Designed for Efficiency, Convenience, & Accuracy
Accuracy is an essential characteristic for all high-quality torque setting equipment. This is because overly tight or loose fasteners can be detrimental to either the components requiring torque setting, or may even result in accident or injury due to fasteners and other parts becoming loose during tool operation.
For wheel torque setting equipment, accuracy continues to be a quality worth investing in. Thankfully, our WBT manufactured wheel torque setting equipment has been designed and developed to provide superior accuracy and efficiency, supporting Australian mechanics in wheel torque setting applications for vehicles of all sizes.

Wheel Torque Setting Equipment FAQ
Q: What is the purpose of wheel torque setting?
A: Torque is a measure of the force required to turn a fastener. For wheel torque setting, the application of torque aids in appropriately securing wheel fasteners in accordance with manufacturer specifications, reducing risks of wheels becoming loose or being overly tightened, both of which may result in hazardous operational faults while driving.
Q: How do I know which wheel torque setting equipment I need?
A: Depending on the thickness of your tyre tread and thus how recessed your lug nuts are, you’ll find that deep impact wheel torque setting sockets or torque extension bars are suitable for your wheel torque setting needs.
Q: Why is accuracy important when setting wheel torque?
A: It’s imperative that you use properly calibrated wheel torque setting equipment whenever you’re setting wheel torque. This is because lug nuts that are too tight can cause operational faults like the warping of brake drums/rotors/hubs, stripping (i.e. premature wear and tear) of fastener threads or stretching of wheel studs. Conversely, lug nuts that are too loose pose risks of wheels becoming loose or wobbly when driving.
Q: How do you care for wheel torque setting equipment?
A: Ensuring your wheel torque setting equipment is kept clean and securely stored when not in use is vital to conserving their accuracy and operational efficiency. It’s also imperative to ensure that there are no signs of corrosion prior to using wheel torque setting equipment as these may result in the inadvertent application or excess or inadequate force.
