GEARWRENCH - ACH 85188 3/8 Drive Micrometer Torque Wrench 5-75

The GEARWRENCH - ACH 85188 is a 3/8 drive micrometer torque wrench engineered for accurate torque control across a 5-75 ft-lb range. Designed with a 120XP flex head and a precision micrometer scale, this tool provides repeatable settings and clear readings for routine maintenance and professional service environments. The flex head increases accessibility in tight spaces while the robust drive and scale deliver consistent torque application.

Automotive Impact Wrench Applications

Although this model is a torque wrench rather than an impact wrench, it complements impact wrench workflows common in automotive service bays. Use the 85188 to verify and finish fasteners after rapid installation with an impact tool, ensuring correct torque for safety-critical components. Its compact profile and fine micrometer adjustment make it suitable for lug nuts, suspension links, and engine components where precision matters.

Compact Impact Wrench Benefits

Compact design considerations mean the 85188 fits tight engine compartments and crowded chassis locations where larger tools struggle to reach. The 3/8 drive and flex head provide maneuverability comparable to compact impact wrenches while delivering the controlled torque required for final tightening. Technicians will value the balance of reach, accuracy, and hand-friendly ergonomics for repetitive tasks.

Professional Impact Wrench And Heavy Duty Impact Wrench Context

For professional shops seeking durable tools, the GEARWRENCH - ACH 85188 offers service-grade construction and reliable calibration over time. It pairs well with heavy duty impact wrench setups by providing the finishing torque verification that impact tools cannot deliver alone. The micrometer adjustment ensures precise settings to match manufacturer torque specifications and helps reduce rework from under- or over-torqued fasteners.

Overall, the 85188 is a purpose-built torque tool that supports automotive and professional workflows where accuracy, access, and durability are required. Fast shipping.
