Question 171General Subjects - QMED

The correct answer is D) an audible click is heard and the handle releases. The correct torque value for a micrometer torque wrench is reached when an audible click is heard and the handle releases. This indicates that the preset torque value has been achieved, and the wrench has engaged its internal mechanism to prevent over-tightening. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe how a micrometer torque wrench indicates the correct torque value. A dial light or a scale reading on the handle would not necessarily indicate the correct torque, and an audible click and handle release are the specific cues that confirm the preset torque has been reached.
