Multiplier goes where torque wrenches can't
A
Norbar Torque Tools product story

Claimed to be the world's smallest, 1kNm torque multiplier delivers accuracy where access is impossible using a conventional torque wrench or bulky torque multipliers.
The accurate tightening of fasteners in restricted spaces can be a real problem for manufacturers.
Inaccessible fasteners can often only be reached using improvised tools that lack any kind calibration or verifiable accuracy.
But, thanks to the Handtorque range from Norbar Tool Tools, limited access no longer means limited accuracy.
The Handtorque HT-52 is claimed to be the world's smallest 1kNm torque multiplier, designed to deliver accuracy where access is impossible using a conventional torque wrench or bulky torque multipliers.
It allows fasteners with limited access to be tightened with a guaranteed multiplication accuracy better than +/-4%.
The tool is compatible with manual torque wrenches or with torque-controlled angle nut runners.
Norbar has also improved its 2kNm multiplier.
The upgraded multiplier, now known as the HT-72, is based around the same weight saving design as the HT-52, but by replacing the steel reaction plate with tool-grade aluminium, Norbar has reduced the weight of the HT-72 by over 1kg, making it 25% lighter than its predecessor.
The HT-72 can be fitted with electronic torque transducers for precision torque monitoring and is available in various ratios, output drive sizes and reaction styles.
