A torque wrench (40) with a variable-arm clicker mechanism, comprises a substantially tubular body (41), equipped with a handgrip (18) from which protrudes a ratchet gear element (4), suited for engaging with the blocking device which must be tightened. Inside the tubular body (41) is the clicker mechanism, which comprises a main lever (2) ending with the ratchet gear element (4), with fulcrum on the same tubular body (41) by means of a pin (3). The clicker mechanism has a pair of parallel intermediate levers (6), hinged on a fulcrum (10), integral with a mobile carriage (9), where the parallel intermediate levers (6) extend within the carriage (9) through slots (31, 32) which act as guides for the levers and are connected by means of a pin (12) to small levers (22) which command a push rod (20) that operates a spring (16).
A Torque wrench (40) with a variable-arm clicker mechanism, comprising a substantially tubular body (41), equipped with a handgrip (18) from which protrudes a ratchet gear element (4) to engage a blocking device (14) which must be tightened, wherein inside said tubular body (41) is said variable-arm clicker mechanism, said variable-arm clicker mechanism comprising a main lever (2) having a first end and a second end and having on said first end said ratchet gear element (4) and on said second end a T shaped element (5), said main lever (2) being mounted on said tubular body (41) by means of a first pin (3), wherein said variable-arm clicker mechanism has a pair of parallel intermediate levers (6), hinged on a fulcrum (10), which is integral with a movable carriage (9), said parallel intermediate levers (6) being extended within said movable carriage (9) through a pair of slots (31, 32) and being connected by means of a second pin (12) to a pair of small levers (22) hinged by a third pin (21) onto a roller (15) which acts on a push rod (20) to operate a resilient means (16).
