Hydraulic wrenches are notorious for their heavy ratchets, bulky compressors and laborious operation. Hydraulic tools operate through a hydraulic ram that extends and retracts, ratcheting the head. This is a long and tedious process that requires the operator to activate and stand by the pump with a hand-held controller. Torque Multipliers increase speed and productivity,…
A dial indicating torque screwdriver is designed for torque evaluation and torque verification. It is a low cost tool that can be utilized for QC, R & D and assembly operations. The Mountz dial indicating torque screwdriver can be used to monitor torque as it increases or decreases or display peak torque applied. The dial…
Electric Torque Screwdrivers are designed for precision torque control and ensure product quality, cost savings and a reduction in overall assembly failures. The failure of a three-cent fastener that isn’t properly tightened can lead to catastrophic or latent failures. Fasteners that are insufficiently torqued can vibrate loose, and excessive torque can strip threaded fasteners or…
When operating torque tools for high torque and speed applications, it is extremely important to consider the issue of torque reaction of the tools being used. For torque tools such as torque multipliers, pneumatic screwdrivers, nutrunners, DC control tools and other torque tools that will be used for the torque application, you need to consider both…
Screw presenters make assemblers and the assembly process more efficient by mechanically presenting a screw to a fixed pick up point. For cell or line based assembly, an operator uses a magnetized bit or vacuum attachment to pick up a screw from the presenter screw guide. A magnetized bit will retrieve most screws from the…
A Brief History of the Screw We use metric screws and screwdrivers all the time – but where did these ingenious devices come from? They weren’t always there, after all. Here’s a little mini-history of everyone’s favorite fastener. The basic idea of the screw first came about in the 1st Century A.D. But these early…

With the increasing need for sophisticated fastening torque tools by manufacturers, the YF-Series power tools offer various programmable features to meet the evolving demands from the manufacturing industry. Mountz is offering various YF electric screwdriver models covering a torque range…
The pulse tool requires regular maintenance to ensure the tool operates at optimal performance. The type of routine maintenance and the frequency is dependent on the application and how the tool is used. The pulse tool requires preventive maintenance like oil changes and have the parts inspected periodically. Regular oil changes will increase the life…
Torque tools go out of calibration with use. To maintain consistent accuracy, torque tools must be checked periodically for wear or defective parts. A power or hand torque tool is a measuring tool that must be properly calibrated and maintained. Regular torque tool calibration and re-calibration guarantees the operator repeatable accuracy and adherence to international…
Everyday fasteners and fasteners are being tightened and torqued into a wide range of manufactured products, like electronics, medical devices, automobiles, aircrafts and more. One item that can often be overlooked with fasteners is – “Are these fasteners RoHS compliant?” What does that really mean? Why does it matter for your manufacturing chain? And how…
