  About High-Torque clock hands High-Torque clock hands are any minute hand over 5 inches. Of course, they need a strong battery movement known as High Torque. To get the correct size, measure the minute hand only, from the center of the mounting hole to the tip. You will receive one set of hands, minute and hour, from that one measurement. The hands we sell are known as the USA standard “I” shaft type. This means that the minute hand has a oblong hole and the hour hand has a round hole.Few readers
