It was for putting brass fittings into aluminum air-pressure manifolds where the torque had to always be something very precise (I don't remember what), but we assembled a bunch of these a day, each with 8 brass fittings going in to it, and speed/ease of assembly was nice. I think ours was made by Snap-On, not Craftsman, but it worked fine. It was rigged to a circuit that went Beep at the right torque. The purpose was to save time, but I think it was just a neat toy that the Snap-On guy managed to talk the boss in to. I am more comfortable with my clicking torque wrench, but that's just familiarity. |
