The Benefits of Using a Battery Powered Torque Wrench

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.

B-RAD1500_001-1Some 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
