Welcome to the world of bolting tools. I am a square drive bolting tool. Pin a socket to me, hook up my pump and I can give you incredible power. Calibrated to NIST standards I can torque to +/- 3% accuracy. I can solve your fastener problems and eliminate your fastener failure problems by torquing within specs to begin with. I eliminate the problem of stuck fasteners and I eliminate the safety issue of cheater pipes and extensions. Between me and my square drive brothers we can torque from 120 ft/lbs to 60,000 ft/lbs. My extended family of hex drive tools allows us to turn any threaded fastener even in tight spaces. In the coming months this blog will look at any application where hydraulic bolting tools are called for and describe how the job is accomplished.
