The US Army Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment Activity (USATA) determined that calibration of the Titan torque wrench was not achievable within allowable accuracy.

If the Titan torque wrench is a part of your tools, stop using it now and order a replacement that’s compliant through GSA.

To get a replacement, follow the detailed guidance in Para 10 of the AMAM. This paragraph also provides disposition instructions for discrepant wrenches.

Be advised that because of supply chain issues, there are a limited number of replacement wrenches available. For some customers, replacement wrenches could be on backorder for a long time. GSA and/or the vendor will communicate backorder status to customers.      
    
Also be advised that only those who ordered the Titan wrench, NSN 5120-01-400-0232, will get a replacement under this process.
