Pulse tools feature an air-driven hydraulic impulse mechanism that creates an internal pressure differential and a resulting “rotary-type” blow. By adjusting the pressure differential, and (in the case of transducerized tools) by also monitoring the onboard transducer, the user is able to control the torque output of the tool. This makes pulse tools more accurate than standard impacting tools, while still maintaining the high power-to-weight ratio, speed, and near reactionless one-handed performance users love. And, since pulse tools use a hydraulic mechanism rather than metal-on-metal blows, the tools’ noise and vibration levels are significantly lower than those of other tools. The result is extremely fast, ergonomic, and accurate tightening that users striving for lean, streamlined processes will value.

Non Shut-off Pulse Tools

Pistol-Grip  |  Inline  |  Angle 
Non-shutoff tools are recommended for the majority of applications where speed and ergonomics are important. They are the easiest to set up, maintain, and they provide good accuracy.

Shut-Off Pulse Tools

Shutoff tools are recommended as substitutes for non-shutoff tools when increased error-proofing is desired. They can be beneficial for less experienced operators, since they automatically shut off at a preset torque level.

Transducerized Pulse Tools

Transducerized systems are recommended when a process requires data output, accuracy, process control, and feedback to the operator.

Air Tool Qualifier

Qualifiers are recommended when additional error proofing, operator feedback, and process control are desired. They work with most brands of pulse tools and many impact tools.
