However high the quality of your screwdriver, you cannot make full use of its potential unless you know the
right amount of torque for each job and make sure that is the torque being delivered. With a Hios digital
torque meter you can make torque settings on screwdrivers, check torque wrenches or make torque mea-
surements of various kinds of rotation tools. With an optional attachment, it is also possible to transfer
measurement data to a computer for use in integrated production management systems.
Easy to use, accurate and low in cost, Hios digital torque meters are used by manufacturers of electronic
goods, cameras, watches and other kinds of precision instruments, as well as by makers of automobiles
and aircraft.
