Today in the lab, Jason applies oil to bolts, then tightens them with power tools. In this test, Jason hopes to discover the accuracy of error-proofing with one of Atlas Copco’s smart power tools in comparison to a generic impact tool.
To start, Jason tightens the bolts under normal conditions. Once he gets a baseline for each of the tools, he then applies the oil and tightens them again. What do you think will happen to the bolt being tightened by a generic impact tool? By Atlas Copco’s smart power tool? Keep watching to find out!
