Hi there..

I run power tools equipment rental and retail. Recently few of the customers are complaining that the electric screwdrivers, exert way too much torque into the screws, which are damaging the threads. Do we have a solution for this? Is there any way we can preset the torque? There is huge customer demand for the same. A manual or electric tool, with this provision, can work for me.

Use a torque wrench instead. Or use a pneumatic torquing tool. Have seen technicians using it. But have not used it .
