At a Glance: High-capacity digital torque gauge with a 7-340Nm measuring range, 0.1Nm resolution, 1/2″ male and female drives, three operating modes and audible/visual torque alerts.
Add accurate digital torque measurement to compatible hand-drive tools with the Tork Craft TCTQA12340 Digital Torque Gauge Adaptor. With its broad 7-340Nm working range, this high-capacity model is ideal for demanding fastening applications where controlled torque is essential. The compact gauge fits between a suitable hand-operated drive handle and socket, allowing applied torque to be monitored electronically rather than relying on feel alone. Tracking, Peak and Pre-set operating modes provide flexibility for different jobs, while the backlit LCD display, selectable measurement units, Peak-mode memory and progressive LED and buzzer warning system make controlled tightening clear and convenient. Supplied with 3/8″ and 1/4″ drive adaptors, batteries and a PH0 screwdriver, the TCTQA12340 is a versatile torque-measuring solution for automotive, manufacturing, construction, workshop and DIY applications.
High-capacity digital torque measurement up to 340NmThe TCTQA12340 combines a 1/2″ female input and 1/2″ male output with a substantial 7-340Nm measuring range, making it suitable for a wide variety of medium- to high-torque fastening applications. It can be used with compatible ratchet handles, sliding T-handles and power bars, while the included 1/2″ female to 3/8″ male and 1/2″ female to 1/4″ male adaptors extend compatibility with smaller drive accessories.

Features
- Tracking mode: Displays changing torque values as force is applied.
- Peak mode: Captures and displays the maximum torque reached during an operation.
- Pre-set mode: Allows the required target torque to be entered before tightening.
- Backlit digital display: Makes torque readings easier to view in different working conditions.
- LED and buzzer indication: Provides progressive visual and audible feedback as the selected torque value is approached.
- Peak memory: Allows Peak-mode torque readings to be saved and reviewed.
- Selectable units: Switch between Nm, lbf.ft, lbf.in and kgf.cm.
- Battery powered: Operates using two AAA 1.5V batteries.
- Automatic sleep mode: Activates after approximately two minutes of inactivity to conserve battery power.
- Overload indication: Displays an overload warning if excessive torque is applied.
Benefits
- Wide torque capability: The 7-340Nm range makes this model highly versatile for heavier fastening applications.
- Controlled tightening: Helps achieve specified torque values rather than relying on operator feel alone.
- Progressive torque warning: LED and buzzer feedback begins as the target torque is approached, helping the user control the final tightening stage.
- Use existing hand tools: Adds electronic torque-measuring capability to compatible ratchets, power bars and other manual drive tools.
- Flexible drive compatibility: The included 3/8″ and 1/4″ adaptors allow use with a broader range of sockets and accessories.
- Convenient monitoring: The backlit display and Peak memory function make it easier to check torque values during and after fastening.
Application
- Controlled tightening of bolts, nuts and screws.
- Automotive servicing and repair.
- Mechanical assembly and maintenance.
- Manufacturing and production environments.
- Construction and installation work.
- Workshop servicing requiring measured torque.
- DIY fastening where a specified torque value must be achieved.
Extra Information
- Clockwise accuracy: 2%.
- Anti-clockwise accuracy: 2.5%.
- Torque warning system: The LED begins flashing and the buzzer sounds once approximately 80% of the selected torque value is reached. The warning becomes progressively faster as the selected value is approached and becomes continuous at 100%.
- Peak data storage: Torque readings can be saved and recalled when operating in Peak mode. Data saving is not available in Tracking or Pre-set modes.
- Battery indication: Replace the batteries when the battery indicator shows only one of its three bars.
- Low-voltage protection: The gauge automatically switches off if battery voltage drops below approximately 2.2V.
- Calibration recommendation: To maintain accuracy, calibration is recommended once a year, after unusual handling or overloading, or after approximately 5000 cycles.
- Storage and care: Keep the gauge protected from harsh chemicals, moisture, excessive heat and vibration.
