New Tool Design Results In Faster Fastening
The latest, patented HYTORC pneumatic torque wrench - the Flip(TM) - has the same reaction-free high speed, high inertia pre-torque as an impact wrench. The difference is in the final torque. Impact wrenches act and react intermittently - Flip(TM) guns continuously. This makes Flip(TM) guns faster, ergonomically vibration-free and precise. Click Here!
