Q2. Does a power tool emit torque reaction? A2. From low to high torque power tools generally produce an unwanted torque reaction that transfers to an operator’s hand. The torque arm is absorb the torque reaction and improve operator safety. From low to high torque power tools generally produce an unwanted torque reaction that transfers to an operator’s hand. The torque arm is designed to

Q3. When an operator is using a power tool A3. The daily repetitive process of fastening screw after screw with a power tool can expose an op risk of repetitive stress injury. The ergonomic arm takes the weight off a tool operator's arm and shoulders, allowing them to guide the tool instead of lifting it, which reduces the likelihood of repetitive motion injuries. Q4. Can the torque arm be used with either an electric or pneumatic screwdriver? A4. Yes, the torque arm is compatible with both electric and pneumatic screwdrivers. Each torque arm model has a maximum torque capacity that it supports. Select the torque arm that supports tool's fastening application. que arm be used with either an electric or pneumatic screwdriver? Yes, the torque arm is compatible with both electric and pneumatic screwdrivers. Each torque arm model has a maximum torque capacity that it supports. Select the torque arm that supports the torque setting for the power the torque setting for the power Q3. When an operator is using a power tool is there a risk of repetitive type injuries? The daily repetitive process of fastening screw after screw with a power tool can expose an op The daily repetitive process of fastening screw after screw with a power tool can expose an operator to the

Q9. Can the telescoping torque arm be used to ensure fasteners are tightened in the proper sequence? A9. No, you would need to purchase a position control torque arm equipped with position encoders for that error- proofing process.

Q10. Can the telescoping torque arm be used to ensure there are no missing screw occurrences or unfinished rundown occurrences during the assembly process? A10. No, you would need to purchase a position control torque arm equipped with position encoders for that error- proofing process.

Q11. Does a torque arm help prevent cross-threading or side load from occurring during the fastening process? A11. Yes, the torque arm improves process control by preventing cross-threading and sideload occurrences by keeping the power tool perpendicular alignment.
