In most assemblies that are joined with threaded fasteners, the cost of the fasteners is not as important as the cost of installing them. 

All manufacturers face the task of finding an ergonomic assembly tool with torque control; minimal torque reaction; low operational costs; and improved uptime.

According to ASSEMBLY magazine’s annual Capital Equipment Spending Survey, half of all U.S. assembly plants will purchase electric or pneumatic fastening tools in 2020.

Whether it's a car or a computer, a toy or a toaster, almost every assembled product has at least a few threaded fasteners. Indeed, 62 percent of ASSEMBLY's readers use threaded fasteners of one form or another to assemble their products.

If we are to build a better world, politicians tell us, power must be placed in the right hands. This statement will draw no protest from assemblers. After all, these skilled workers require state-of-the-art power tools to build long-lasting quality products on a daily basis.

Identifying and finding the best torque tooling solution for your individual needs is paramount to success in your assembly process.

Besides ergonomic benefits, today's pulse tools offer greater torque accuracy, power-to-weight ratios and flexibility.
