We all know the HexPro hydraulic torque wrench is a powerful and versatile tool, but our friends at TorsionX Europe have found another way to put it to work that we think is genius!
“The Hexpro is one of the most versatile tools when you add some custom accessories. In this case we made a hex bit, custom reaction point and used the standard available ALCO arm to loosen/tighten the allen bolts of an extruder. Before they acquired this solution, the mechanics used to loosen/tighten these bolts by hand creating all kinds of undesirable situations.
“The Hexpro does not only make doing this work easier and faster, but also safer! Especially combined with the safety handle, to help keep your hands away from pinch points!
“In this case the hoses are equipped with a special heat resistant sleeve to be able to resist the heat of the extruder.”
