OTC Offers Versatile TPM Electronic Torque Wrench
OTC, an SPX brand, introduced its new TPM Electronic Torque Wrench (P/N 3833-25) which the company said is designed specifically for use on TPM sensor nuts and will cover torque requirements from 10 to 120 inch-pounds, eliminating the need for multiple wrenches.
Current TPM sensor nut torque requirements range from 12 to 106 inch-pounds and conventional torque wrenches do not cover this range in a single wrench, according to OTC.
The OTC 3833-25 TPM Electronic Torque Wrench design combines the accuracy of an electronic torque wrench with the speed and ease of a mechanical style, the company said. Other key features include a slide bar for quickly setting the torque requirements, indexing head for spinning the nut down easily and flashing LED light with audible beep when torque limit has been met.
