Which of the following is NOT listed as one of the three types of torque wrenches?

• A. Clicker, Dial, and Deflecting
• B. Digital torque wrench
• C. Dial torque wrench
• D. Deflecting torque wrench

Answer: (B)

Torque wrenches are typically categorized by the mechanism that indicates when the target torque is reached. The three commonly listed types are the clicker (mechanical with an audible click at the set torque), the dial (reads torque on a numerical dial), and the deflecting beam (a beam deflects with torque and a pointer shows the value). Digital torque wrenches, while widely used, fall outside this traditional trio because they rely on electronic readouts rather than the mechanical or analog indicators of the other three. So the option describing a digital torque wrench is not one of the three types listed. The other choices align with the three recognized types.
