HYTORC Lithium Series II Cordless Torque Tool

HYTORC, the oldest and most recognized manufacturer of industrial bolting systems in the world, announces that it has received the winning honor in the 2019 Pro Tools Innovation Awards (PTIA) Cordless Specialty Drills/Drivers category for its LITHIUM SERIES II Tool.

Here’s what the judges said about HYTORC’s LITHIUM SERIES II:

“The HYTORC LITHIUM SERIES® II Electric Torque Tool is one part fastening tool and one part scientific instrument, albeit a very well-built scientific instrument. We say this with a healthy respect and sense of awe for what all is built into the tool. Models go as high as 5,000 ft-lbs of max torque using a 36V battery for industrial applications that have to be very accurate.

“Repeatable, controllable fastening torque has been the Holy Grail of smart tools since they first started coming out and HYTORC seems to have dialed it in. Add in wireless communication and an LCD control screen and you have the most advanced fastening tool we’ve seen so far.”

After looking through and judging hundreds of power tools, hand tools, fasteners and accessories, winners were chosen based on industry innovation. Winners consistently demonstrated achievement in any combination of the following: innovative features, advanced power delivery, groundbreaking ergonomics, technological advancements and value. The 2019 Pro Tool Innovation Awards recognize best-in-class products that are truly ahead of their time.

“We are honored to receive the PTIA Tool Innovation Award in the Cordless Specialty Drills/Drivers category,” HYTORC President Eric P. Junkers said. “It is an exciting time for HYTORC. The industry is seeing how innovative our LITHIUM SERIES II Tool technology is in providing industrial users with the flexibility they need to get their bolting jobs done efficiently, accurately and at a cost savings. This award confirms that this technology from HYTORC is like no other in the industry.”

The LITHIUM SERIES II Tool is a ground-breaking innovation with TorcSense Technology, an all-new method of direct torque measurement and closed loop control to provide more repeatable bolting performance. The tool has a new brushless 36V motor coupled with a more robust gearbox optimized to deliver increased strength and control in heavy industry applications.

The User Interface has been redesigned from the ground up to provide intuitive access to all software-controlled bolting features through the high-resolution display and push button control panel. The LITHIUM SERIES II Tool also contains a wide array of data acquisition and advanced bolting features that set the standard for next generation bolting.

A list of the improvements with greater durability, expanded functionality and intuitive usability:

• TorcSense Technology to improve bolting control and repeatability.
• Brushless 36V motor than runs quieter and more efficiently
• All-aluminum nickel plated handle and gearbox provides greater corrosion resistance.
• Dual speed gearboxes are 20 percent stronger for greater reliability.
• High resolution display clearly presents all bolting parameters.
• Rear cover shock guard protects the display and buttons.
• Trigger and directional switch designs improve ergonomics and increase reliability.
• Bluetooth Wireless Technology allows wireless data transfer and firmware updates.
• Work light illuminates the operation area increasing safety and productivity.
• Snug feature helps bring bolting surfaces into alignment.
• Advanced bolting features include Turn Angle, Torque Check and Rotations.
• Hierarchy of access levels provides greater administrative control over tool functions.
• Available with output up to 5,000 foot-pounds, supporting a wider range of applications.
