4.4 Hexagon Torque Wrench Set Reaction
[continued]
4.4.8 Fig. 4.4-5 (top) shows a common reaction
method where RSL reacts on torque wrench
drive housing’s flat surface. Note: Use
reaction arm where possible to improve tool
life.
Do not react against torque wrench
drive splines (See Fig. 4.4-5 (bottom)). Use spline
cover to prevent damage.
4.4.9 “Bump Reaction”:
a. Fig. 4.4-3 shows a proper “Bump
Reaction”.
b. Most hexagon torque wrench sets do
not have reaction bumps.
c. Fig. 4.4-4 shows a hexagon torque
wrench set without a “Bump” and
shows an improper reaction.
