Rad Torque Tools: Intrinsically Safe

Over a decade ago, RAD Torque System pioneered and patented the first programmable digital torque technology enabling effortless data collection and highly precise Bluetooth calibration. Since then, the RAD team of in-house engineers have continued to innovate and achieve the highest level of quality and performance. Today, the RAD Torque battery tools are designed to be Intrinsically Safe.

What is Intrinsic Safety?

Intrinsic Safety (IS) is a technique used in electrical equipment, such as torque wrenches, to limit the energy output to prevent sparks. As more companies improve safety standards, many have been moving away from battery-powered torque wrenches.

However, the B-RAD Brushless (BL) Select, is officially Intrinsically Safe and certified spark-proof. With this tool, railway industry workers can feel safe using a battery-powered tool in hazardous (and potentially flammable) situations. RAD Torque tools were verified Intrinsically Safe in 2019 by Latest Certification Inc.

Why Choose RAD Torque Tools for Rail?

Aside from delivering one of the safest and fastest torque wrenches on the market. There are two key factors that keep customers asking for RAD tools for rail; portability and reliability.

The B-RAD BL Select can be carried anywhere you need to go. Its lightweight, ergonomic design makes it extremely portable. However, just because you have portable tool, doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice reliability, especially in heavy industrial applications. You’ll know your bolts are secure because the wrench comes with two simple buttons to increase or decrease the value by 10 ft. lbs. Plus, the B-RAD BL Select automatically backs off when the torque cycle is complete. This allows for the end user to move quickly to the next bolt.

RAD Torque Reaction Arms

Reaction arms are a great way to help you torque in awkward spaces, especially within the rail industry. That’s why each RAD tool includes a standard reaction arm. In addition to this, you can order additional reaction arms to ensure correct reaction for different applications, such as a standard reaction arm, deep socket reaction arm, and a double-ended reaction arm.
