Tightening to true torque when working on mini-splits is serious business. Under tightening could result in refrigerant leaks, while overtightening could mean burst tubing. That’s why the Hilmor Digital Adjustable Torque Wrench is critical to perfecting torque time and time again. The 9 factory memory settings make it quick to set common torque values, while the digital display shows the amount of force applied to the flare nut. And if that didn’t make the job easy enough, lights and buzzers illuminate and sound when the desired torque is achieved.

Take your pick of imperial or metric scales. They come standard on all of our Adjustable Wrenches. They’re made to fit in your hand with ergonomic grips and made to last by Hilmor.

We’ve made an adjustment to standard pliers. Our Quick-Adjusting Tongue and Groove Pliers feature a simple push button to give you a quick precision grip on pipes, fasteners and more.
