Snap-on Product Aims to Prevent Harm from Tool Drops
Snap-on的Tools@Height系列工具防止工具掉落造成傷害 A tool dropped from an elevated work platform poses immediate danger to personnel and equipment below. Snapon Industrial is taking steps to help prevent that scenario from occurring with the launch of its new Tools@Height Tools Over 5 lbs. Ideal for the aviation, power generation, natural resources and manufacturing industries, these tethered tools come with a three-foot-long web strap/carabiner system to prevent a tool from falling to the ground. What makes the Tools@Height Tools from other similar tools is that its tethering system is designed in conjunction with the tool and not viewed as an afterthought. The web strap doesn’t interfere with the technician’s ability to use the tool, and the web strap attachment point is more comfortable than shackles or rings and allows full use of handle. The tools weigh between six and 20 pounds.

Chuann Wu's Innovative Hand Tool: 12-point Hole Screw Socket Wrench
川武創新手工具 12角扳手孔螺絲套筒 Chuann Wu Industry Co., Ltd rolled out its newly developed 12-point Hole Screw Socket Wrench patented across multiple countries. It is an improvement from the structure of a traditional 4-point hole screw socket wrench. It is light-weight and convenient with good quality and torque performance compliant to the American, German, and Japanese standards, and is suitable for fastening screws for motors, machine tools, construction, and furniture industries. General manager Lin said he has been designing, processing and making hand tools for more than 40 years. During his long period of assembling, processing and maintaining machines, he thinks the traditional 4-point socket wrench with the 90-degree angles are not convenient for plugging, removing or turning the wrench, especially if there is insufficient light source in the machine. Repairing the base of a machine is quite difficult. One has to start by dismantling the exterior case and then repair and finally re-assemble the machine, which consumes a lot of time and labor. The 4-point socket wrench is quite labor-consuming and prone to hurting hands during plugging and removing the wrench.

美國Mountz Inc.推出全新小尺寸預設扭力值扳手 The Mountz TSP tool is a small cam-over torque wrench used for fastening applications where a single torque setting is required and will prevent an operator from incidentally adjusting the torque setting. Failures with torque control are unacceptable for many fastening applications. Mountz camover wrenches are designed to remove any operator influence and deliver precision torque control. As a quality control tool, the TSP allows any user to deliver the correct torque with confidence regardless of task and operator skill level. Unlike most wrenches, the TSP torque wrench is a non-length dependent tool meaning it can be gripped at any point along the handle without affecting accuracy. The preset wrench does not feature an external adjustment scale. These tools have an internal torque adjustment mechanism that must be preset using a torque tester. Built with the reliable, trusted cam-over technology, the TSP torque wrench prevents a fastener or bolt from being over-torqued. The design action of the cam-over torque wrench is such that when the tool reaches its preset torque value the mechanism disengages from t he d r ive t hu s limiting the torque applied.
POP® Avdel® Introduces Next Generation High-Production Blind Rivet Nut Installation Tool
POP® Avdel®推出新一代盲鉚釘螺帽安裝工具 The ProSert® XTN20 provides high speed installations, improved assembly productivity, clear and fast access to the work piece, and setting adjustments easily made in a production environment. With the patent pending, quick-installation mandrel exchange system and the tool-free stroke and force setting features, changeovers are easy and installations are consistent and reliable. Longer tool life and reduced maintenance costs are also achieved by using high-strength installation mandrels and high performance hydraulic seals. Mandrel replacement costs are significantly reduced when compared to tools requiring special, high cost installation mandrels, and the enhanced hydraulic seal design also maximizes re-priming intervals, further reducing maintenance costs. Weighing just 1.59 kg including the (M6) nosepiece assembly, the ProSert® XTN20 is much lighter than most comparable tools and offers the highest pull force-to-weight ratio in its class, enabling assembly operators to be more productive with less effort and fatigue.
