Accessories You Should Contemplate

Now a buyer’s guide would not be complete without explaining the possible accessories that you can purchase to accompany a torque screwdriver that you purchase. Below are some of the most common accessories that add real value to your experience using an electric screwdriver.

When looking for accessories to accompany your electric screwdriver, a tool balancer should always be one of your first thoughts. Tool balancers suspend your tool in the air, weightlessly. This means the driver is moved away when not in use.

The tool is then in arms reach when next required.

Furthermore, a tool balancer encourages a longer shelf life for your tools, as they are not being picked up and dropped down repeatedly. And as anyone who has used a driver will know, dropped drivers break. In fact, dropped drivers are one of the most common ways for your tools to break. Investing your money in a tool balancer is one convenient way to mitigate this risk, whilst also increasing your productivity!

Reaction arms serve a similar purpose to the tool balancer. However, one key difference between the two is where they are positioned. Rather than being suspended overhead, reaction arms remain at the desired height for application, and are folded away from the user rather than being released to an overhead position.

The arm will be clamped to your desk, with compatibility available for straight, pistol or angle drivers. This provides the user with great versatility and no movement inertia thanks to the rotary articulation!

Modelled on the elbow joint of the human anatomy, they fold away with easy, meaning the user can hide them when not required for use. Hence why they are the ideal electric screwdriver accessory for cramped workspaces.

Now we have already explained the importance of having the correct torque control for your application above. But how can you tell that your driver has not altered its torque output over time with repeated use?

That is where torque meters come in. Torque testers aid in the quality control of your tools, presenting the rotational output on a digital screen that the operator can easily read. Therefore, the user can easily track the repeatability, efficiency and power of their torque power tools.

The task of loading screws onto your electric screwdriver can be fiddley and laborious at times. Automatic screw feeders remedy this, providing the user with an easy way to load and pick-up screws for assembly purposes.

Simply open the lid, pour the screws into the machine, and then select the size and rate of speed. They are that simple to operate. Using this accessory, you will once again see an increase in productivity, as less time is spent with tool set up and more on the actual assembly process.
