The Norbar 120118.01 is designed for demanding industrial bolting applications where high torque capacity and a distinct physical signal at the set torque are essential. Its 700–1,500 N·m operating range and 1" round drive make it suitable for heavy plant maintenance, mining, structural bolting and other high-torque fastening tasks.
The break-back mechanism provides a clear, felt indication when the preset torque is reached, helping the operator recognise the target and reducing the risk of over-torquing when used correctly. The scale is protected by a shield that helps keep out dust, dirt and spray, supporting readability and accurate setting in challenging site conditions.
The wrench features a satin chrome alloy steel body, ±4% stated accuracy and 10 N·m scale graduations. Its push-through ratchet allows tightening in both directions by repositioning the round drive. The redesigned handle guides the operator's hand towards the correct loading point, helping support consistent torque application.
Designed for cost-effective servicing, the Norbar 120118.01 can be maintained without necessarily replacing the entire tool when components wear. It conforms to ISO 6789-1:2017.
For interim performance checks between formal calibrations, compatible options include the TruCheck 2 Plus 43531 and TruCheck 2 Plus 43533 torque testers. ISO 6789-1:2017 guidance recommends recalibration after 12 months or 5,000 cycles, whichever comes first, or sooner following a drop or overload.
If you need the same stated torque range with a smaller drive, compare the Norbar 120119, which features a 3/4" round drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What torque range does the Norbar 120118.01 cover?
It covers 700–1,500 N·m and uses a 1" round drive.
2. How accurate is the Norbar 120118.01?
The stated accuracy is ±4%. The wrench conforms to ISO 6789-1:2017.
3. What is a break-back torque wrench?
A break-back torque wrench produces a distinct physical movement or signal when the preset torque is reached. This helps the operator recognise the target and stop applying force.
4. Can it tighten left-hand threads?
The push-through ratchet allows tightening in both directions. Confirm the wrench setup and the fastener requirements before use on left-hand threads.
5. Which Norbar break-back wrench should I choose?
Choose a model that suits your required torque range and drive size. The 120118.01 uses a 1" round drive, while the Norbar 120119 offers the same stated 700–1,500 N·m range with a 3/4" round drive.
6. How often should the wrench be recalibrated?
ISO 6789-1:2017 guidance recommends recalibration after 12 months or 5,000 cycles, whichever comes first. Recalibration may be needed sooner after a drop or overload.
7. Does the wrench need to be wound back after use?
Follow Norbar's operating and storage instructions for the correct procedure. General Tech Services LLC can provide product guidance with your quotation.
8. Which torque testers can be used for interim checks?
The TruCheck 2 Plus 43531 and TruCheck 2 Plus 43533 are listed as options for checking this torque class between formal calibrations.
