Feel the GIVE in the Multicam torque wrench

It is hard to see the head of the torque wrench for the Multicam when it is under the dust shoe. It is harder still to hear the click with Woodshop background noise. So, you must “feel the give” when the wrench reaches the preset torque value of 25 ft-lbs.

To help know what to expect, there is a bolt head mounted on the top of the brown cabinet under the RFID reader. Put the torque wrench on it and try to turn clockwise. Since the bolt is already very tight, what you will observe is the handle “give” or change alignment between head & handle. That is the feeling you want to discern when you tighten the cover nut on the collet.
