RAD Torque launches battery-operated torque wrench with transducer

By Michelle Froese | July 12, 2021

RAD Torque Systems recently launched its most advanced battery tool to date, the B-RAD BL S. This extreme-torque wrench is an addition to the company’s popular battery-operated series known as the B-RAD. Like its predecessor, the B-RAD BL SELECT, the new S tool has a brushless motor for speed and efficiency but it’s integrated with a torque transducer for incredible accuracy regardless of joint conditions.

The B-RAD BL S has torque capabilities of up to 5,000 ft. lbs, and all RAD Torque tools are calibrated to ISO 17025 standards.

“Integrating a transducer into our powerful B-RAD series with a brushless motor was imperative based on industry demands,” said Dan Provost, founder and owner of RAD Torque. “The ability to have a battery-operated torque wrench that can read torque measurements in real-time with the added bonus of easily accessible torque is invaluable for big industry applications.”

The B-RAD BL S automatically records all torque cycles, including torque measurements, through the integrated transducer. The data from the torque measurements recorded on each job can easily be retrieved wirelessly with a Bluetooth connection and the easy-to-use RAD software.

This additional control not only increases the accuracy of your torque output, but the transducer measurement also allows the recorded torque logs to hold up to scrutiny.

The B-RAD BL S also offers angle movement. The angle capabilities with the B-RAD BL S means this tool can be used on even difficult and critical applications.

“If you’re looking for a tool with portability combined with real-time torque measurement and logs, and the ability to have angle movement, you won’t find a better tool than the B-RAD BL S,” added Provost.

The B-RAD BL S has torque capabilities of up to 5,000 ft. lbs. All RAD Torque tools are calibrated to ISO 17025 standards.
