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. urrent 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.
“TPMS equipped vehicles require special tools to perform routine tire rotation, replacement and related services,” said OTC Product Manager Scott Krampitz. “With more than 40 million TPMS-equipped vehicles on the road today, the OTC TPM Electronic Torque Wrench is a must have for any technician. It’s easy to use and will provide the versatility needed for torque requirement on all TPM sensors, while also doubling as a standard inch-pound torque wrench.”
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.
