Portable Digital Torque Tester debuts

By Janice Wood · March 28, 2010 ·

Snap_on_DDTThe portable Snap-on Industrial Digital Torque Tester (DTT), with its  light weight combined with an integral transducer and sturdy housing, can be wall mounted or employed in a bench-top vise to allow the user to test torque wrenches and torque screwdrivers, according to Snap-On officials.

The DDT features a 4.7-inch touch-pad screen to capture peak torque values during real-time testing and allows download of test data to a PC. The testers are sold in a kit that includes the tester, hard carrying case, two socket driver reducer adapters, AC/DC power supply, AC adapter and USB cable.

The six DTT models range in capacity from ¼-inch drive, 10-100 in. oz. to ¾-inch drive, 60-600 ft. lbs. All models display readings in English, Newton meters and kilogram-centimeter units of torque.

Accuracy of the Snap-on Industrial Digital Torque Tester is ±0.5% of reading ±1 count CW and CCW from 10 to 100% of full scale at 25ºC, according to company officials. Display accuracy of the unit is four digits, 9999 cycle counts. It requires six AA Alkaline batteries, or it can be run off the AC adapter.

For more information: 877-740-1900 or SnapOn.com.
