Features
Backup wrenches prevent the stationary component from rotating during the tightening process. This is essential to ensure proper tensioning and avoid potential damage to the threads, surrounding components, or even personal injury.
By preventing rotation, backup wrenches allow the tensioner or torque wrench to focus solely on applying the required torque without needing to counteract any opposing force. This translates to faster and more efficient completion of the bolting task.
Maintaining the stationary component's position ensures that the joint is assembled correctly, contributing to optimal performance and longevity.
