Torq-Tek Pneumatic Tools specializes in manufacturing bits, impact sockets, hand sockets, etc. Initially, the company started with GFB screwdriver bits and non-standard impact socket supply and then ventured into pneumatic tools. Torq-Tek is an authorized distributor of AirBoss (Taiwan) and imports all types of assembly tools. It imports Air Impact Wrenches, Air Oil Pulse Tools, Air Screwdrivers, Air Grinders, and various pneumatic tools. A pioneer of pneumatic tool repair and maintenance in Pune, Torq-Tek delivers the finest service engineers in the pneumatic industry.
In a candid interaction with The Interview World, Sachin Mule, GM, Torq-Tek at IHFI provides a glimpse into AirBoss tools. Here are the excerpts from the interaction.
Q: Tell us something about the AirBoss tools displayed here.
A: Torq-Tek Pneumatic Tools is one of the trusted distributors of AirBoss in India. The AirBoss tools displayed here include the Air Impact Wrench, Air Screwdriver, Air Oil Pulse, and Air Grinder. These are pneumatic tools and operate through air and oil pressure. We have two types of tools – pistol types and straight types. Used in the mechanical and electronics industries, they help tighten screws and nut bolts.
In addition to these tools, we also have Oil Impact Tools. Again, they provide high-precision torque. These tools provide extreme flexibility in usage as well. You can change the socket as per the requirement. For example, if you need a screw, then a specific socket is available. Similarly, for nuts-and-bolts different sockets can work. The price range of these tools varies between Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 500,000.
Q: Which industries use these pneumatic tools?
A: Industries like automotive, mechanical, and electronics use these tools. Electronic and automotive companies such as LG, Haier, Bajaj Auto, and Tata Motors leverage these tools. Wherever you find screws and nuts, you can imagine the usage of these tools.
Q: What’s the efficiency of these tools?
A: For example, if a specific task needs 8 hours to complete, the same task you can accomplish in 30 minutes by using these tools. So, you can achieve 16X efficiency by leveraging the potential of these tools. In effect, these tools can enhance the efficiency of the production team and reduce operational costs. Eventually, the operational profits of the company will increase.
Q: Which company do you tie up for procuring these tools?
A: We have a tie-up with AirBoss Air Tools based out in Taiwan and we are the importers of these tools. Our company is in Pune, Maharashtra. We have both an office and a go-down there and we deliver these products all over India.
Q: What’s the impact of these pneumatic tools on the safety and quality of the products?
A: Usage of these tools has a significant impact on the quality of the products. For example, when an operator tightens a screw manually, he can fix the screw more or less tightly. However, when you use this tool, you can achieve the highest level of precision. Now consider this Oil Pulse tool. The amount of torque you apply, will work accordingly and then stop. Thus, there will be no distortion in mechanical parts. Mostly, leading automotive companies such as Bajaj, Tata, and Mahindra use these tools.
