Different RAD Gun Attachments to Use

Onsite Torque Tool Rental Services: Everything You Need to Know

RAD guns (or torque wrenches) are a top choice for many professionals when it comes to heavy-duty applications. And no wonder—RAD guns are known for their patented planetary gear reduction drive system that delivers 88 times less vibration than impact wrenches. 

 

However, in the pursuit of perfection and safety, RAD offers a range of attachments and accessories. This includes reaction arms, safety accessories, low profile multipliers, tool holders, and nose extensions. 

What is a Standard Reaction Arm?

Every RAD tool includes a standard reaction arm. This attachment helps to counteract the torque generated by the tool, giving the user a more precise and controlled operation. A standard reaction arm is suitable for most general-purpose tasks, but there are times when a specific or custom application may require a different solution.

Can Custom Reaction Arms be Designed?

Yes, RAD’s engineering department can design a reaction arm tailored to your needs. These custom reaction arms ensure the correct reaction every time whilst minimizing pinch points and optimizing safety. Custom options include simple modifications to “standard arms” to ground up engineered solutions for your applications. There is always an engineer solution available upon request.

What Safety Accessories are Available for RAD Guns?

RAD believes safety features should not impede workplace efficiency and speed. That’s why they offer different safety accessories to add to your RAD torque tools, including:

Hand Guards 

These safety attachments are designed to protect the operator’s hands and increase awareness of the risks associated with using powerful tools. Their ergonomic design ensures ease of use and supports two-handed operation of the tool. Ultimately, this results in reduced user fatigue and fewer accidents.

Safety Triggers

 

These triggers prevent accidentally operating the tool while using it on the job. They’re a must-have accessory to protect users to eliminate pinch-point injuries. In turn, this can enhance productivity as users experience less downtime due to injuries.

What Other Attachments are Available for RAD Guns?

In addition to safety accessories, RAD offers a range of other attachments to enhance the performance and versatility of your torque tool:

Nose Extensions 

These attachments allow you to reach deeper or more confined spaces, making your RAD gun suitable for a wider range of applications. There are 3 main types: an extension shaft, a nose extension with a welded fixed reaction arm, and a nose extension with a spline that allows for a variety of style of reaction arms to be used with that nose extension. 

Tool Holders 

Ergonomically designed tool holders complement RAD’s pneumatic torque wrenches. They feature:

 

  • An offset handle for balanced carrying
  • A storage pocket for the tool 
  • An accessory pocket for quick access to essential items 

 

Made from high-density polypropylene, the holder is durable yet lightweight, ensuring easy portability even in demanding conditions.

RAD SDM Low Profile Multipliers 

RAD SDM Low Profile Multipliers are designed for tight spaces where bolt access is limited. Leveraging RAD’s expertise in planetary gear reduction, these multipliers are ideal for confined applications across various industries, including aerospace. Plus, they’re compatible with your preferred nut runner
