Battery, air or electric. Which RAD Torque tool makes the most sense for your job?

If you need something portable, a B-RAD or B-RAD X might be the way to go. If you have access to compressed air and you’re torquing all day, a RAD pneumatic tool could be a better fit. Need torque data? That’s where the E-RAD BLU shines.

There’s no single right answer for every job. Send us a message and tell us what you’re working on!

They might look similar, but they perform two very different jobs.

An impact wrench is great when you need to quickly tighten or remove a fastener. But when you need to reach a specific torque, a RAD torque wrench gives you smooth, controlled rotation guaranteeing accurate results.
