New HandTorque(TM) Torque Tools for Limited Access & Lighter Weight



Willoughby, OH - Norbar Torque Tools, Inc. introduces the world's smallest 1,000Nm torque multiplier, designed to deliver high accuracy where access is impossible with a conventional torque wrench or bulky torque multipliers. The HandTorque(TM) HT-52 offers the same, calibrated high performance as other Norbar Torque Tools, but in a compact, durable unit. Fasteners with limited access can be tightened with a guaranteed multiplication accuracy better than ± 4%. The HT-52 is fully compatible with manual torque wrenches or with torque-controlled angle nut runners.

Norbar has also enhanced its existing 2,000Nm multiplier, now known as the HT-72, based upon the same weight-saving design as the HT-52. But by replacing the steel reaction plate with tool-grade aluminium, Norbar has reduced the weight of the HT-72 by over 1kg, making it 25% lighter than its predecessor. The HT-72 can be fitted with electronic torque transducers for precision torque monitoring and is available in a variety of ratios, output drive sizes and reaction styles.

Norbar Torque Tools Inc. is the United States arm of Norbar Torque Tools Ltd, Europe's leading manufacturer of torque tightening and measurement equipment. In addition to the HandTorque line of wrenches, Norbar also manufactures a full line of pneumatic, electrical and mechanical wrenches, torque calibration and measurement instruments.
