Safe and Quiet Axle Correction with a Pneumatic Torque Wrench

AxleFix is benefitting from the durability, reliability and safety of a Pneumatic Torque Wrench, which is used for tensioning U-bolts and tightening or removing a range of other parts, including pivot bolts and wheel studs.

AxleFix owner Jeff Cain already used other Enerpac gear in their Campbellfield workshop, including pumps and cylinders, before he discovered the Pneumatic Torque Wrench.

"The rattle guns we were using previously were noisy, vibrated more heavily and didn’t last. We typically had to replace them after one year, which adds up to a considerable expense over time," said Mr Cain, who has owned the business for the past decade and has instilled a company ethos of accuracy, honesty and integrity.

Mr Cain went to authorised Enerpac Distributor AD Automation to discuss more reliable options, and they recommended the Pneumatic Torque Wrench for AxleFix.

"It’s exactly what we needed. It’s super quiet, it’s faster and it does everything we want it to do. It reduces the risk of strain injuries and improves operator safety because it’s not a 'hammer style' tool where fragments of paint and other materials can sometimes fly out during operation," said Mr Cain.

"For us, the PTW is the way forward. We have some of Australia’s leading truck and bus companies relying on us for quick turnaround times, so we need reliable gear. Not only is the PTW reliable, but it’s more productive than any tool we’ve used previously. We all love it," he said.

"I’ve always said that you can be penny wise, but pound foolish. We were saving money up-front buying manual tools, but the rate they needed to be replaced outweighed the initial saving and then some. We know Enerpac gear is not only reliable, but backed in the field."
