What to look for when buying an air wrench
Before buying, analyze 4 factors:
- Compressor compatible. If an air supply system is already installed at the workplace, make sure that the supply pressure will be sufficient to operate the air wrench. In the absence of a compressor, select a suitable model in advance.
- The presence of the impact function. Impact wrenches "Force" better cope with tightened connections. The impulse is able to increase loosening, which makes it easier to work with highly tightened and stuck threaded connections.
- The weight. A device heavier than 3 kilograms will be difficult to hold in your hand.
- Working torque. View the recommended settings for your vehicle. The wrench must provide a tightening torque not lower than the found values.
Is it worth buying a FORCE pneumatic wrench - the pros and cons
The products of the Taiwanese company Force are not inferior in quality to models of European brands. According to user reviews, the advantages of the company's products:
- reliability;
- durable case material
- release of products based on technologies that comply with ISO-9002 and ISO-9001 standards.
The disadvantage of wrenches is the underestimated air consumption (less than indicated in the technical documentation). There is no reducer in the design of the pneumatic tool, therefore, an air mixture preparation unit must be built into the air supply system.
