Clock hands are measured from the center of the mounting hole of the minute hand to the tip of the minute hand. The 318 HT full size "C" cell powered models were designed specifically for use with today’s new larger clocks. They are the most powerful quartz movements on the market today, and they were designed to solve one of the primary assembly problems that confronts everyone making larger clocks-hour and minute hand spacing! All of the high torque movements on the market today share the same problem-they are just more powerful versions of regular movements designed to accommodate regular size hands. The 318 HT series movements were designed specifically for use with larger hands. The distance between where the hour and minute hands are installed has been increased! This increased distance will help to prevent longer hands from binding and leaves enough room to accommodate the counterweights that are commonly used on large minute hands. Thumb Dimensions: 2 1/4" w x 3 1/8" h x 1" d The most powerful quartz movements available today Increased spacing between hour and minute hands Threaded portion of shaft is 11/16" and overall length is 1-1/8" 7/16" Shaft diameter-American "I" Shaft Operates on 1 "C" cell battery for longer battery life (not included) listing by, Southeastern Clocks - proudly featured in Better Homes and Gardens Kitchen and Bath makeovers, Fall/Winter 2015 issue! This kit is great for any DIY project. ## Images ![Takane high Torque 318HT Clock Kit 17.75" Black Hands DIY - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TvggpRpyL.jpg) ![Takane high Torque 318HT Clock Kit 17.75" Black Hands DIY - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Tp1LgsDeL.jpg) ![Takane high Torque 318HT Clock Kit 17.75" Black Hands DIY - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81G7gSnJLuL.jpg) ![Takane high Torque 318HT Clock Kit 17.75" Black Hands DIY - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/915MEsxDcGL.jpg) ![Takane high Torque 318HT Clock Kit 17.75" Black Hands DIY - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81x9TxGyB+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps time well so far. *by D***Z on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2017* Hey everyone, used this to create an epic clock for my band room (it's like 6 feet across!). It's been keeping solid time for a few months so far and it's pretty cool. My mom gave me random picture frames and I had no idea what to do with them...I was missing a small nut to secure the hands when the package was delivered. After contacting the company, they sent me the piece, no big deal. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars They worked great, ran on c battery *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2018* Used this on a large 3 foot clock i made. They worked great, ran on c battery, and are working just fine. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars The mechanism has trouble moving the hands, even trimming ... *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2017* The mechanism has trouble moving the hands, even trimming the second hand down by 2 inches. Ok for the price, but the second hand bobs during operation. After about a month of operations the mechanism stopped working. I left a review giving the product 2 stars because it was so cheap. The manufacturer contacted me saying that they were a family run company and poor reviews hurt their business. They said they were willing to ship a new mechanism to me for the broken one if I was willing to change my review. I gladly agreed due to respecting their dedication to their product. I changed me review due to a promise with customer service but never received the new mechanism. This is why I am changing my review from a previous 2 star to a one star. I don't like being lied too or misled. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/10647092-takane-high-torque-318ht-clock-kit-17-75-black-hands](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/10647092-takane-high-torque-318ht-clock-kit-17-75-black-hands) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
