Box I-Beam and Torpedo Levels Westward box, I-beam and torpedo levels are used to make sure workpieces are aligned straight in electrical installations and carpentry & plumbing applications. These torpedo levels are employed in restricted spaces.
Combination Square Sets and Components Westward combination square sets and components are used to make sure projects are straight and square, with angles being properly set at 45 or 90 degrees. These sets and components comprise a ruler, protector head, square head and centre head.
Depth Micrometers Westward depth micrometers are used for measuring the depths of slots, holes, projections and shoulders. These micrometres are provided with ring-type knurled lock nuts to ensure rapid and safe locking.
Dial Calipers Westward dial calipers or slide calipers are engineered with a graduated scale and dial indicator for measuring both inside and outside dimensions of an object, as well as the depth of a hole. These units employ a rack and pinion mechanism to transfer linear movement of the jaws to rotary motion of the dial indicator.
Dial Indicators Dial indicators are used to align workpieces in lathe & milling machines, and surface grinders. These dial indicators are also used for checking the runout of the spindle in a machine.
Digital Calipers Westward digital calipers (also called electronic digital calipers) are battery operated precision instruments, designed to measure accurate internal and external distances. These calipers have a slim & streamlined profile for comfort and an LCD digital readout for precise measurements.
Distance Meters Westward distance meters employ a laser to calculate the distance between two objects. These distance meters are equipped with an easy-to-read, backlit LCD screen to display clear measurements and laser technology to deliver a high degree of accuracy.
Electronic Digital Indicators Westward electronic digital indicators are used to record data in process control applications, which is readily transferable to PC while diminishing chances of parallax errors. They are driven by a 3V lithium ion battery and equipped with a 360-degree rotating bezel that can work in both negative and positive directions.
Feeler Gauge Sets Gage Blocks/Clamps Surveillance Masters Westward gage blocks / clamps are manufactured for producing the desired length in mechanical applications. These gage blocks feature metallic or ceramic bodies that offer accurate measurement and correct calibration.
Height Gauges Used to determine and set height, step dimensions or vertical distance, and mark out workpieces. Feature a large, easy-to-read LCD screen to display the results with up to +/-0.002% accuracy. Additional functions include zero set facility & inch / metric conversion with automatic On / Off operations
Hole Drill Bore and Wire Gauges Used for quickly measuring the internal and external dimensions of an object with high accuracy. Feature chrome-plated / hardened steel construction to withstand harsh industrial environment and impact loads. Available in graduations ranging between 0.0005 and 0.00005 inches
Indicator Holders Bases and Stands Designed to stabilise dial and electric indicators to eliminate machine errors for precise measurement. Deliver a maximum magnetic force of 85 lbf for preventing damages to the indicators and probes due to accidental base fall-over. Available in satin chrome and blue finish variants
Magnifiers Measuring Tapes Ideal for use in construction, engineering, architectural and other industrial measuring applications. Feature an ABS plastic housing for use in corrosive environments and in areas with electrical hazards. Models available with carbon steel, fibreglass, nylon-clad steel and steel blades
Measuring Wheel Accessories Measuring Wheels Used for road marking, paving, fencing and traffic control operations, as well as in construction sites to measure large distances, boundaries or areas. Come with a molded ABS or aluminium frame with a handling rod to make precise 2- or 4-inch wide lines
Micrometer Sets Micrometers Precision Measuring Tool Kits Precision Steel Squares Protractors Rules and Straight Edges Scribers and Probes Spring Calipers and Dividers Squares Bevels and Stair Gauges Telescoping Gage Sets Vernier Calipers
WrenchesView all
Adjustable Wrench Sets Westward adjustable wrench sets are manufactured for accommodating fasteners or bolts of various sizes. These adjustable wrenches feature a broad capacity jaw with a knurl adjusting mechanism for comfortable, quick and accurate jaw adjustments according to the size of the bolt head.
Adjustable Wrenches Westward adjustable wrenches are engineered to replace multiple fixed size wrenches with one wrench. These wrenches have a broad, adjustable jaw to fit with different sized bolts & fasteners with the help of a knurl adjusting mechanism, for accurate & tight jaw adjustments.
Box End Wrench Sets Westward wrench sets feature wrenches having an enclosed head end to fit around and grip the entire head of the fastener, thereby offering superior torque and contact area as compared to an open end wrench. These box end wrench sets come with double end wrenches having a varied SAE (inch) and metric sized head on each end, suitable for use on two varied sized fasteners.
Box End Wrenches Westward box end wrenches are suitable for the installation and elimination of bolts, fittings and nuts in production, automotive & mining applications. These wrenches have an enclosed head on each end of the handle to offer greater contact to the fastener and permit more torque than an open end wrench.
Chain Wrenches and Tongs Westward chain wrenches and tongs come with an extra long handle to secure an object and offer leverage in turning huge items. They feature a double end jaw design to permit turning in either direction without removing the tool from the housing assembly, whereas single end wrenches only work in one direction.
Combination Wrench Sets Westward combination wrenches feature a closed and an open end to detach or tighten nuts, bolts & other fasteners. These SAE and metric combination wrench sets feature a 12 pt box end with extra grooves that make them easy to attach using the head of the fastener.
Combination Wrenches Westward combination wrenches are manufactured with an open and a closed end; the latter loosens the stubborn nuts so that the open end can be used to quickly unscrew them. They are ideal for quick loosening and unscrewing of nuts and are available in high strength stainless steel / alloy steel / chrome vanadium / chrome vanadium steel variants.
Electronic Torque Wrenches Westward electronic torque wrenches, also known as digital torque wrenches, are designed to provide precise torque reading by measuring turning force electronically to avoid overtightening of fasteners. These wrenches are most commonly used to apply consistent torque on assembled products for safety and quality control.
Flare Nut Wrench Sets Westward flare nut wrenches are open ended wrenches used in machine work and plumbing applications, for attaching & removing hexagonal nuts and fittings (also referred to as flare fittings). They feature a 6 pt design that permits more contact with the fastener's sides than the 12 pt style and avoids rounding of the fastener's corners.
Flare Nut Wrenches Westward flare nut wrenches are used for working with hexagonal nuts and bolts in automotive servicing, metalworking, fire & safety, and mining applications. These wrenches feature an open end design for avoiding obstructions between the nut & the wrench.
Hex and Torx Key Sets Hex/Torx Keys Interchangeable Torque Wrench Heads Micrometer Torque Wrenches Open End Wrench Sets Open End Wrenches Pipe Wrenches Ratcheting Wrench Sets Ratcheting Wrenches Designed to provide quick tightening and loosening of nuts in tight spaces. Are faster than conventional wrenches and commonly used in automobile and construction industries
