Product advantages

Planetary gear driven wrenches, as opposed to conventional torque tools, have the advantage of continuous rotation while applying controlled torque.
This makes them much faster. With their pistol grip Rad Torque Wrenches are safer and more ergonomic. Our motor is built right in the handle, so no longer the hassle of bringing a heavy and expensive hydraulic pump to the jobsite.

Innovation

RAD’s ongoing investment in R&D ensures that RAD Torque Systems will continue to lead the bolting industry with RAD innovations such as the famous E-RAD, our battery tools and the smart torque transducers.
RAD believes that innovation drives performance. Examples are: the E-RAD, the digital battery torque wrenches and the Smart Socket™.

A range of torque wrenches producing torques from 35 up to 16.500 Nm

The battery powered torque wrenches are available in various capacities, from 50 Nm to as much as 15,000 Nm, unprecedentedly high for a battery-powered torque wrench. The B-RAD select is popular thanks to its ease of operation and the convenience of cordless operation.

The pneumatic torque wrenches are the most robust on the market, with which RAD has “grown big. Torque range from 35 Nm to 15.000 Nm.

The electric torque wrenches are very easy to operate, very compact and lightweight. Torque range from 135 Nm to 16,500 Nm.

Interested in buying a professional torque wrench? Here are some things to look out for

  • If your business is considering buying a new torque wrench, or several, it’s very important to recognize the differences between the different types available.
  • The most familiar is the manual torque wrench, commonly used by professionals such as tyre specialists. The mechanic will start by tightening the wheel bolts with an impact wrench, and then finish the job with a manual torque wrench.
  • The hydraulic torque wrench is also very common, where you have a pump which powers a cassette or impact socket. The benefit of this type is the power that is available, but the drawback is the slow speed at which they work and the difficulty in operating them.
  • RAD torque wrenches are always based on a torque multiplier, which is driven by a motor (battery, electric, or pneumatic).
  • The benefits are compact dimensions, ease of operation, lower price tag, and much higher speed when compared to hydraulic torque wrenches. In addition, the torque (in Nm) can, on most models, be adjusted directly.

A specialist in torque wrenches for almost 30 years

Since its establishment almost 30 years ago, RAD has specialized entirely in the design and continuous development of torque multipliers, resulting in the optimal combination of compact dimensions and reliability available.
It’s understandable then why all major industrial hiring firms in the Netherlands have switched over to RAD wrenches. The majority of RAD torque wrench types are available for hire.

Integrated offset gearbox

Some examples of innovative thinking; RAD engineered an integrated offset gearbox in the E-RAD series to enable tightening bolts in hard to reach places.
In this way the bolts can be tightened faster and with only one torque wrench.

90s degrees pistolgrip

Or the 90° pistol grip specifically designed for vertical flange bolting which greatly improves tool ergonomics and handling.
