Williams TBIH Break-Over Torque Wrench Handle, 068001-C (12-21 lbf-in)

Description

The Williams TBIH is a small, lightweight break-over torque wrench built for restricted-space work where a full-size wrench body won’t fit. It accepts interchangeable heads (open-end, box-end, flare-end, hex-key, or ratchet) on a common centerline, so changing head size doesn’t change the torque setting underneath.

At the preset torque, the wrench body “breaks over” — folding at the joint rather than clicking — which minimizes shock transmitted back to the operator’s hand and to the fastener. This 068001-C handle is factory pre-set to 12-21 lbf-in, ships tamper-proof with its own certificate of calibration, and holds ±6% of setting accuracy, meeting or exceeding ISO 6789:2003.

This is a good fit for panel, enclosure, and tight-clearance assembly work in the low-torque range where a standard click wrench body is too long or too wide to fit.

**Frequently asked questions**

**How often does this need to be recalibrated?** Williams recommends annual recalibration for tools in regular use, or sooner if the tool is dropped, used outside its rated range, or run at high frequency in production. Keep the original NIST-traceable calibration certificate on file for your quality records.

**What standards does it meet?** Meets or exceeds ASME B107.300 (the current consolidated standard for hand torque tools, superseding the older B107.14) and ISO 6789. Each unit is individually serialized and ships with its own certificate of calibration.

**Can it be used in both directions?** Check the accuracy spec above — some models are calibrated clockwise (CW) only, others bidirectionally (CW/CCW). Using a CW-only tool for critical CCW work will not give a certified reading.
