New Series of Pneumatic Screwdrivers Announced

Automatically Stop When Designated Torque is Reached;
Broad Range of Styles Available; Have Value-Engineered Design


CLEVELAND, OH—March 12, 2007– ASG, a division of Jergens, Inc., has announced a new family of torque-controlled pneumatic screwdrivers. The new Torq2™ drivers are intended for precision assembly work with torque ranges from .5 lbf•in up to 156 lbf•in. Each driver features a patented clutch design that automatically stops the tool when a designated torque is achieved, eliminating both over-and under-tightening. Torques can be adjusted by authorized personnel via a torque nut. Tamper-proof covers are provided to prevent operators from changing torques. The drivers have been value-engineered to offer outstanding performance at a moderate cost.

The new Torq2 drivers have a unique ergonomic design which provides both operator comfort and extra gripping power. The sculpted thermoplastic elastomer housings have been designed to deliver balanced, non-fatigue performance. Four basic styles are available: Push-to-Start, Lever Start, Pistol Grip and Right Angle. Most drivers come with a series of five color-coded torque covers, which can be interchanged for quick operator visual reference of a driver’s torque and prevent tampering. The drivers come standard to accept 1/4" hex bits.

The ASG division of Jergens also announced a complete line of accessories related to the new air drivers, including filter/regulators/lubricators, air line reel balancer, holster and quick release air couplers and connectors.

ASG is located at 15700 South Waterloo Road, Cleveland, OH 44110-3898.
