Mountz Wins Industry Innovation Award with New Torque Wrench Tester

Mountz Inc. announced that it has been honored with a Pro Tool Innovation Award for its Validator torque wrench tester. This is the third time in the past five years that Mountz has earned the innovation award. The patented MountzPro true dual click wrench won the award back in 2013 and the EPT adjustable torque wrench was selected in 2015. "This industry award reinforces the value Mountz provides to its customer base, enabling technicians and mechanics to quickly verify the calibration status of a torque wrench," said Daniel Andeel, Vice President of Sales & Marketing.

Here's what the judges had to say about the torque tester: "It can tell if your torque wrench is still within calibration limits. By taking care of torque wrench calibration checks in-house, you eliminate unnecessary servicing, keeping your crew more productive and the shop more profitable. Thanks to the easy Green/Red visual indicator, there’s no guesswork involved."

The Validator allows for instant verification that a wrench is still in calibration. Coupled with a torque wrench management and maintenance program the Validator can provide significant cost savings by not relying on a time-based calibration interval but by servicing a wrench only when the wrench starts displaying the incorrect torque during in-house testing.
