Wera05074720001 Kraftform 7465 Hexagon Torque Screwdriver, 1/4" Head, 2.5-11.5"/lbs Pre-Set Adjustable Torque Range

Purchased this for torquing breaker and circuit panel connections for latest NEC requirement that everything be torqued. Adjustment wrench stores in handle and this tool is very easy to adjust to proper torque range. MAKE SURE to choose the correct model for torque range and "variable" vs "pre-set". I purchased the 25-50 in-lbs variable version, which is easily field adjustable with the included wrench. The "pre-set" version I guess is much more difficult to make changes, and would be better for a production environment where you do not want employees changing settings.

When I bought the preset adjustable torque driver I was under the impression it was adjustable within a range. But it arrived preset to the lowest value and I couldn’t find the means of adjusting it. Mind you I have only ever purchased variable torque drivers before. It turns out its standard to hide the adjustment screw underneath the bottom cap. Using a torque tester and a socket hex driver I was able to set it to my desired preset.There is some confusion about this driver. Its wording makes it seem like it comes with discrete presets within a range. However, it only has an adjustable preset not a selectable torque. Wera sells another model with variable torque. This is exactly what I was looking for. I needed a preset torque for a specific application but not the one it came with. Unfortunately its not as simple as choosing another preset. I looked it some more and apparently you’re able to order it directly from Wera with your desired preset. Otherwise the retail model is always preset to the low value in its range and you must own the appropriate torque tester to set it to another value.

This is advertised as adjustable to 55# torque. Mine was set at 25#. To adjust, you need another torque wrench but getting at the adjustment nut is difficult. The 10mm nut used for adjusting has very little clearance to get a socket on the nut. A regular 10mm socket is too thick to get into the recession where the nut resides. I had a long 10mm socket which had thinner socket walls and it would only fit by hammering it in to the recession. Then after I turned it clockwise, I needed to wiggle the socket off the nut because testing the new torque range was only possible with the socket removed as the socket would turn the nut as you turn the wrench. After several attempts, I think I got it dialed in based on the reading of my other torque wrench.I saw a YouTube video on how to adjust this particular 7467 model but Wera changed the wrench design by removing the printed on settings and moving the large 17mm easily accessible adjustment nut to a tiny 10mm crammed into the end on a tight recess.Why do manufacturers "improve" their tools by making them more difficult? Probably to save a few cents in parts and expand margins. That only works if you preserve or grow margin dollars. Selling fewer because of a design change works against you. Wera should have stated that this torque wrench is fixed at 25#.

Like all Wera tools, it is well constructed and good looking. The drawback on this one is that it comes pre-set for 25 inch-lbs, and recalibrating requires special instrumentation. I ended up buying the other model (7443), which has a calibrated adjustment capability.

Purchased this 2.5-11.5 in-lb driver along with ("Wheeler Firearms Accurizing Torque Wrench'), which covers 10-65 in-lb. Now I am completely covered for torquing all my firearm and scope mounting screws. This wrench is easy to use and was just what I needed for my 20 MOA 22LR scope rail which required 6 in-lb.

Okay, this is really pretty. It's satisfying to use once you set it up. Has a nice grip and click.Now, the setup is the annoying part. You have to pry off the back cap and based on your current torque turn the nut to your desired torque. It would work really well in an assembly line where you don't want to accidentally change the torque. But as an all around "torque wrench/screwdriver" it's kinda useless. Luckily I'm only ever going to use this to change my 3D printer nozzle.

I've had the variable torque model (7446: 11-29 ft-lbs) for over a year, and I use it almost daily in an avionics shop. I'm very happy with this tool. It's comfortable in the hand. I find it easy to set. The tool has an unambiguous, positive, satisfying click when torque is reached. I like the spring-loaded sliding bit holder (as opposed to magnetic) so driver bits don't stay behind in the work. Great value for a German tool. Would buy again.

Very capable tool. I keep one in a bag, and stick it in a back pocket whenever I need to get work done. Airport friendly due to the <7” collapsing size, so great for technicians and engineers who travel. Wera bits are very accurately sized. This makes a great companion tool to a Wera Tool Check or soft case rachet set for traveling professionals. Highly recommended.

Really disappointing, and terribly misleading description. The product is rated as adjustable, which technically is true. However what the description doesn’t tell you is that in order to adjust it you have to pry off a super stiff cap (it gets mangled in the process), and then use a nut spinner (???) to adjust the screw under the cap.Even if you have a nut spinner (which I don’t) there are no calibration markings so you would have to rely on the poor documentation telling you to adjust in 180 degree increments (but not which direction).Overall a complete waste of money, and I feel mislead into buying something which is not really capable of what it advertises.

This is not as advertised. This is advertised as 1.2 -3.0Nm . The screwdriver is set at 1.2Nm and only adjustable by removing the end cap ( which is extremely difficult) on the screwdriver then using a nut spinner to adjust. However no markings are available to determine setting.

I received this only to discover it's not adjustable and seems fixed at 1.2nm. It's supposed to be 1.2 to 3.0nm.

I should read reviews first before buy.Very disappointed with the Wera torque screwdriver. Description says that screwdriver is adjustable 1.2Nm to 3.0Nm but is NOT. It's coming pre-set 1.2Nm.

Zur Professionalisierung von Montageaufträgen habe ich mir jetzt Drehmomentenschrauber angeschafft, um Schrauben mit dem geeigneten Drehmoment anzuziehen.Übrig geblieben sind dieser von Wera und die MC Serie von Proxxon.Vom Handling der Einstellung sind die Proxxon deutlich einfacher und übersichtlicher. Das Drehmomentverhältnis ist da 1:5 und nicht nur 1:2,5. zudem haben die Proxxon eine deutlich ablesbare Skala und damit eine präzise Einstellung zum ca. gleichen Preis.Beim Wera muss man mühsam die obere Kappe abnehmen, was zum Zerkratzen dieser führt. Zum Einstellen ist ein Steckschlüssel nötig, ausgehend von der Grundeinstellung oder einer Endposition muss man durch die Anzahl der Umdrehungen den eingestellten Wert erahnen - keine gute Lösung.Ich habe eben die Proxxon uns ein digitales Drehmomentmessgerät, damit ist eine präzise Einstellung möglich, ohne Hilfsmittel eigentlich nicht zu gebrauchen.Dennoch werde ich auch diesen behalten, da der Griff deutlich besser in der Hand liegt und v.a. der integrierte Bithalter jenem entspricht, den man sonst von Bithalter für Akkuschrauber kennt, d.h. super schnelles Wechseln möglich. Bei Proxxon ist eine Vierkantaufnahme + aufsteckbarer Bithalter vorhanden, flexibler aber nicht so stabil.Wenn man den Schrauber nur 1x für ein gängiges Moment einstellt, dann ist der perfekt, v.a. wenn man es mit angelernten Mitarbeitern zu tun hat. Da so gekapselt kommt niemand auf die Idee irgendwo rumzudrehen und damit den eingestellten Wert zu verändern. Das macht das Produkt erst wirklich wertvoll und dafür sollte man es auch einsetzen.
