apable of holding 1,500 readings that can be downloaded for audit purposes, the C-Tech wrench can provide 40 pre-set password protected torque settings for a secure and reliable setting of torque in sequence. The

wrench also uses patent pending technology that automatically recalculates the correct torque setting when adding an extension bar for greater leverage or clearance to the C-Tech. In addition to the LED indicator lights, an audible beep and

handle vibration will alert the user when the correct value is achieved, even in the most demanding of conditions. Snap-on

says the rugged all steel construction has been designed and tested to provide years of serviceable life. Control-Tech industrial torque wrenches are available with /4 inch, 3

a 1 /8 inch or 1 /2 inch drive fixed, or interchangeable

head – all with an easy to use software solution and highly programmable features. The C-Tech product range can be used across a number

of industrial markets including aviation, assembly, inspection, construction, power generation, oil and gas, and heavy plant equipment.
