We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Torque Wrench", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Industrial connectors turn to security from Omron Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Industrial M12 connectors from Omron feature a simple, secure, 'smart click' locking mechanism, yet retain full compatibility with the traditional screw lock styles". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Tool opens drain valves easily from Norbar Torque Tools: "The McKenna hammerless drain valve is a tool that makes the task of opening refinery drain valves easier and safer".
 
In July 2007, we covered the news from Crane Electronics concerning its ProWrench Opta digital torque wrenches - take a look at Torque wrench range expanded which says: "Crane Electronics' ProWrench Opta digital torque wrenches are now available in 300, 340, 750 and 1500Nm versions".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Norbar Torque Tools, Torque wrench aids African pipeline, as well as Taking the guesswork out of tightening from Diba Industries, and Tool system ensures correct torque obtained from Crane Electronics.
