Micro Torque Wrench Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an Inch-Pound wrench required instead of a Foot-Pound wrench?

Standard Foot-Pound wrenches are designed for heavy machinery and are not sensitive enough for the precision required for the SSRA1 anchor. The SSRA1 requires settings between 90 and 200 inch-pounds; using a Foot-Pound wrench could lead to overtightening, stripping the aluminum threads of the anchor body.

Does this wrench come with the correct bit for the SSRA1 set screws?

Yes. This kit includes the required 3/16" hex bit socket. This bit fits all SSRA1 cupped-tip and nylon-tipped set screws perfectly, preventing "rounding out" of the screw heads during installation.

What torque setting should I use for 22-gauge steel roofs?

For 22-gauge steel using cupped-tip set screws, the wrench should be set to 90 in-lbs. This provides a certified 5,000-lb hold without crushing the roof seam.

What torque setting is required for Nylon-Tipped screws on 24-gauge steel?

When using nylon-tipped screws, the wrench must be set to 180-200 in-lbs. The higher torque is necessary to achieve the required friction for a certified hold on thinner steel panels.

How accurate is this torque tool?

The wrench is a precision click-type tool calibrated to an accuracy of +/- 4%. This level of precision is mandatory for documenting code-compliant safety installations on commercial jobsites.

Can I use this wrench to remove the set screws as well?

Yes. The wrench features a reversible head, making it suitable for both tightening to spec and loosening for anchor removal. However, it is primarily a calibration tool; for high-volume removal, a standard 1/4" ratchet can also be used.

How do I avoid common problems with torque wrench maintenance?

To ensure your tool stays in calibration and functions safely, follow these three rules:

  • 1. Zero the Wrench: After each day of use, always dial the torque setting back down to its lowest value. Leaving it under tension can cause the internal spring to take a "set," ruining the calibration.
  • 2. Listen for the Click: Stop pulling immediately when you hear or feel the "click." Continuing to pull after the click will over-torque the hardware.
  • 3. Use the Case: Always store the wrench in the provided hard case to protect the precision mechanism from drops and moisture on the jobsite.

About Standing Seam Roof Anchor

In 2015, the Standing Seam Roof Anchor System began providing specialized fall protection solutions for standing seam roofs. It all started with the SSRA1 seam anchor, designed to lock onto 95% of all standing seam profiles without penetrating the panels or violating warranties. This patented innovation was the first one-piece design in the industry that used six pairs of opposing set screws for seam attachment.

A couple of months later, the SSRA2 Adjustable Roof Jack adapter was released, making walkboards possible on standing seam roofs. The adjustable height side legs stabilize the roof seams and create a stable walkboard surface. After that, we introduced the SSRA3 Anchor Plate, which allows for the deployment of temporary horizontal lifelines on standing seam roofs without penetrations. This comprehensive product line offers unmatched safety and reliability across multiple industries in the U.S. and Canada. All Standing Seam Roof Anchor products are proudly designed and fabricated in the U.S.A.
