Quiet alternative to impact wrench

The new TrukTorque
pneumatic torque multiplier
from Norbar Torque Tools
features a special banana
shaped design reaction arm
to handle bolt tightening on
both front and rear wheels of
trucks and buses. The design
also easily accommodates
wheel trims and deeply
recessed wheel bolts.

Additionally, the multiplier
has none of the noise and
vibration problems associated
with impact wrenches.

Offering accuracy, safety
and convenience for the
commercial vehicle repair
and maintenance workshop,
the tool operates up to
1000N.m of torque, is
considerably lighter than a
comparable impact wrench
and is designed so that the
operator’s hands do not risk
getting caught in trapping
zones while wheel nuts are
being tightened.

Unlike an impact wrench,
TrukTorque is very quiet.

Noise at Work Regulations
state that it becomes
compulsory to wear hearing
protection when decibel
exposure levels exceed
85dBA. Typically, an impact
wrench reaches 90-98dBA
when idling and exceeds this
when impacting. TrukTorque
when operating reaches only
83dBA, which means that the
operator does not need ear
defenders and the working
environment is free from
excessive noise for all in the
vicinity.
