A series of precision air screwdrivers for assembly has been announced by the ASG division of Jergens, Inc. The Torq2™ HBP Series pistol grip drivers are available with torque ranges from 2.6 lbf•in to 156 lbf•in. A patented clutch design automatically stops the tools when designated torques are reached. Torques can be adjusted by authorized personnel via a torque nut. Anti-tamper covers are provided. The drivers are value-engineered to offer outstanding performance at a moderate cost.

The drivers feature an ergonomic design that provides operator comfort and gripping power. The sculpted thermoplastic elastomer housings have been designed to deliver balanced, non-fatigue performance. Most drivers come with a series of five color-coded caps, which can be interchanged for quick operator visual reference of a driver's torque and reduce tampering. A quick change collet facilitates bit changing.

The ASG division also announced a complete line of accessories related to the new air drivers, including filter/regulators, lubricators, reels, holsters and quick connects.

ASG provides a full line of equipment and systems for precision assembly work, including electric torque-controlled drivers, torque testing equipment and assembly production aides.
