Certification expired

Tool out of certification – Will expire after 14 days or has expired.

Milwaukee · M12 FUEL Digital Torque Wrenches

What does Certification expired mean?

The digital torque wrench requires certification after annual calibration, 5,000 cycles, or if it has been overloaded. Once it exceeds 5,000 cycles, the tool's certification status will be 'out of certification' and will expire after 14 days if not addressed.

Common Causes

  • Tool has exceeded 5,000 work cycles.
  • Annual calibration is due.
  • The tool has been subjected to an overload event.
  • Normal use has caused the tool to reach its maintenance threshold.

Repair Steps & Checklist
