For a beginner, here are some basic points you have to consider before using the tool. First, when grabbing it, you should go further down the shaft and not at the dial. This is because the lower you grab, the more control you will have over the fastener and the whole toll.

When working on the project, you should follow a sequence when tightening the nuts and bolts. The sequence should ensure application of pressure or load evenly on the item. This means you should avoid a pure clockwise or anticlockwise direction to ensure that your readings are accurate.

Apart from knowing how to use this tool, it is also important to learn about the different models available. The first one is the beam type which has a long lever arm between the handle and the head. The material used bends flexibly when torque is applied. The indicator is connected through a small bar to head of the tool.

Another important tip when using this tool is to ensure that the nuts and bolts move freely on the threads before you start tightening. When there is resistance on the threads when tightening, the wrench readings will also include this aspect. This can sway you from your ultimate goal.
