The Genius Tools 1/2” X 3/4" Dr. Torque Multiplier, No. 401500, can replace impact wrenches, pipe extensions and other bolting methods. They are designed to provide reliable tightening quality without cables, energy supplies or hydraulic pressure lines. All parts are made of tempered steel to prevent wear. The tool features a 10:1 gear ratio, with a maximum output of 1,100 ft/lbs, and it meets or exceeds ANSI and DIN standards, with accuracy of +/- 4 percent throughout the operating range.

Selling points

The use of long levers or handles is dangerous and often results in serious injury. This multiplier offers a reduction in handle length and operator effort, virtually eliminating these types of injuries. The compact design allows for use in tight spaces, even flanges.  It’s also ideal for remote locations where compressed air is not available. Torque is applied most accurately when it is applied slowly and smoothly. Torque multipliers enable this by greatly reducing the physical effort required by the operator.
