Excessive torque can cause damage while insufficient torque can pose a safety risk. In machining and delicate assembly work, it is extremely important to be able to control the tightening torque for screws. PB Swiss Tools, a leading partner for quality tools worldwide, has released the newsest generation of PB Torque Tools with digital displays. These convenient tools make it easy to check screw tightening torques, and lie comfortably in the hand thanks to their ergonomic shape and high quality handle materials. These exclusive PB Swiss Tools brand torque screwdrivers feature a digital display at the end of the handle, which shows the torque setting. This means the tool is ideally suited for controlled screw tightening to the specified torque. The torque screwdriver is suitable for small series production, but above all it is outstandingly suitable for one-off assembly operations, for which the specified torque can be set quickly and easily. When the maximum torque is reached as the screw is tightened, the tool triggers audibly and by touch. The ratchet mechanism prevents the set torque being exceeded. The screwdriver is then again immediately ready for use. In addition, screws that have already been tightened can be undone with up to twice the maximum tightening torque. The measuring accuracy of +/- 6 percent ensures optimum security. The PB Swiss Tools torque screwdriver is available in four torque ranges: 10-80 cNm (0.89-7.08 inches/pound-foot), 0.4-2.5 Nm (0.3-1.84 feet/pound-foot), 1-5 Nm (0.74-3.69 feet/pound-foot) and 3.2-16 Nm (2.4-11.8 feet/pound-foot). The newly introduced 3.2-16 Nm size has a pistol grip for especially smooth application of the high torques. PB Swiss Tools offers more than 40 different types of interchangeable blades and bits. The range includes Phillips, Pozidriv, Hex/Allen, Torx, Torx Plus, Socket, 1/4-inch bits, and more. For more information call (800) 880-7007 or visit www.pbtools.us.
