Hi, do these wrenches also work accurately counterclockwise with reverse-threaded fasteners?

I am sorry but I don't have a way to really test the accuracy, and I don't have anything to even use it in the reverse direction. Also, it would probably cost me more to get it calibrated than I paid for the wrench.

No, so for reverse-threaded applications or for torquing the internal-wrenching (hex) side of your right bicycle pedal, it will not work

This torque wench is not designed to measure torque for counter clockwise rotation but will loosen most fasteners. A regular 1/2 inch ratchet will do for the task you mentioned. The torque wrench will measure torque on clockwise rotation.

Yes, the top screws off so you can access the reversible threaded bolt that has 1/4 on one end and 3/8 on the other end. Takes less than a minute to switch from one size to the other.

Yes, they are in reverse of each other but the polarity remains the same. Also the polarity is clearly marked. I would also recommend a swaging tool that mounts in a vise and also sold by Amazon. The tool provides the proper amount of squeezing.

yes it only ratchets in one direction and you do need to flip it to reverse direction. I actualy find this to be the best way because it is overall stronger. Remember to crack the nut before you use these tools as they can be overloaded.

Yes, they wiggle a little. It doesn't impact their function, this is probably a tradeoff with their design which allows them to fit in the tools. I recently was able to remove tiny torx screws in the field without having to get my full tool case. The convince is definitely worth it. Due to the nature of the tool you would not use these for anything requiring a lot of torque anyway, so a little wobble (side to side) is fine. I love mine. Since getting mine my tool case has stayed in my truck and I fixed a water heater (thermostat), desktop computers, notebook computers, light switches, projector. It's great to show up with just my backpack and fix almost anything without carrying 60 pounds of tools. Haven't come across a screw yet that the set didn't fit perfectly.

This 'click type' torque wrench, like any 'click type' I have ever seen will not work on left hand threads. Look at the straight bar, the ones with the dial and pointer on them. Or, I would call the major manufacturers and ask them. They do exist as a specialty item. Get a part number.

I have only used these clutches on engines that have a counter clockwise rotation. Due to their individual manufactures design, Some models of these clutches can possibly be used in either direction, but the majority due to their design, only operate in COUNTER CLOCKWISE DIRECTION.

Yes, it ratchets in one direction. So YES, you can simply flip it to tighten vs. loosen. Great wrenches!

sorry for the slow reply and my answer isn't going to help because I apparently miss placed my torque wrench but I think you can measure in both directions? I used it to torque gas keys on my ar and scope mounts I was very pleased with the wrench.

They are coarse thread, but I didn't have any problems making fine adjustments with the tool. The sights are so tight in the dovetail that you can't turn the bolt on the tool fast or hard enough to get "huge" movements out of the tool. For the price I thought it was a very good tool.

This is a ratchet head and it is not reversible - only tightens clockwise. Most of the torque wrenches are not designed to be used to loosen fasteners....even the fixed head wrenches.

The spokes inside the end protrude longer on one side than the other. They have a reverse switch to change direction. These are similar to gear wrenches. I have had them for over a year. I am shop owner and build custom vehicles. they work good. get in places others cant. I am impressed with the quality for the price. I definably would recommend them.

As I recall, they are polarity specific. If they're in backwards, you won't get anything.

yes any torque wrench has to be put back to 0 when finished so it does not stretch the spring and stays true to the torque values

Not that I know of. Mine works in reverse gear only. You might check with Peak with your question.
