It is a blower motor after all and now the secret's out that "Big Daddy" is in his corner...so who knows what kind of super secret stuff those two have been up to????

I believe ours at work is a Hytorc. Some jobs we just have no other option.

That's interesting stuff .... plug or not.

I'm on the other end of the spectrum, looking for low torque cordless that is accurate and will repeat. Range 40-100 ft lbs for clutch hats, converters, trans parts.

I worked for that company 12 years before starting on my own 14 years ago. Remember this world is held together by nuts and bolts...Big ones too!

XPS, can be done quicker with an air tool...RAD 350SL : https://torquetoolsinc.com/pro...d/pneumatic/classic/

Torqin, would a torque stick work for what XPS wants?

yes without a doubt, at that torque level it's most commonly done with a hand torque tool.
