Pay attention to the basics!
As an end user you have a lot of options to consider when deciding what powered torque wrench is suitable for you. Torque capacity, fit of tool, ease of use and cost.....but the most important aspect for any industrial tool is durability. The basic function of any powered torque tools is to tighten/loosen bolts repeatedly and accurately. Many manufacturer's offer digital displays, programming, blue tooth connectivity etc, but in the end if the torque tool is not robust enough to last in demanding applications then all of these features all useless. Next time you have a requirement for a torque tools, first take a look at the mechanical construction of the tool, i.e the robustness of the gearbox and motor and then look at the various features.
The weakest point of all powered torque multipliers is the ability of the planetary gearboxes to handle the extreme stress and strain on the internals when applying high torque.As can be seen from the above pictures the 1st stage and 2nd stage of Alkitronic tools (right) are significantly bigger than those of the other mainstream manufacturer's. This in addition to specially machined gears with sintered edges, give Alkitronic tools a strength advantage.
So if you want a tool that is going to last a long time, and achieve repeatable and accurate torque, then Alktironic is the right choice for you.
