The Norbar 13852 is the highest-range model in Norbar's adjustable hex screwdriver range, covering torque settings from 1.2 to 6 N·m. It is designed for controlled tightening of small fasteners used in panels, machinery and field assembly, where excessive torque can damage screws or components.

Its slipping mechanism operates when the preset torque is reached, helping reduce the risk of over-tightening. Torque can be adjusted without specialist tools, while the setting lock helps prevent accidental changes during use.

The screwdriver features a 1/4" hexagon bit holder with a 4 mm hexagon stem, accepting standard 1/4" bits. Its bi-material handle combines a strong base with a soft, slip-resistant grip to support comfort during extended work. The model conforms to ISO 6789 and is designed to maintain its accuracy over many thousands of tightening cycles.

For interim checking, the Norbar TST 2 Series 2 and TST 25 Series 2 bench testers are suitable options. ISO 6789-1:2017 recommends recalibration after 12 months or 5,000 cycles, whichever comes first, or sooner following a drop or overload.

When choosing a torque screwdriver, select a range that places your most common target comfortably within the scale rather than near either end. For a lower torque range, consider the Norbar 13851, which covers 0.6–3 N·m.
