One of the greatest comeback stories in our industry in recent years has been the battery powered torque wrench.
When we first wrote about these tools a few years ago, it was with several caveats, including the fact that they had a shorter battery life.
But these days, battery powered torque wrenches carry many of the benefits of other torque wrench varieties with none of the drawbacks of their earlier incarnations.
Some of the benefits of battery powered torque wrenches include:
- These are lightweight tools, with the weight of the battery considerably lower than what you’d find years ago.
- These wrenches include electronic features that pneumatic wrenches can’t offer
- Battery powered torque wrenches don’t use a power cord or airline, allowing you to use them in applications that require work in tighter spaces such as refineries and pipelines.
- New battery powered wrenches come with an automatic release function that kicks in once torque is applied to the bolt
