Burlington, NJ - Cementex, the safety tool specialists, announces the availability of updated insulated torque wrenches featuring the company's industry-leading double-insulation technology. Made of top grade materials, calibrated according to ASME B107 standards (traceable to NIST), and manufactured according to ISO standards, Cementex double-insulated torque wrenches are designed to provide coverage in potentially hazardous electrical work environments. They are the first option for compliance with safeguarding both skilled workers and equipment.
 
Cementex insulated torque wrenches feature two separate layers of insulation for twice the protection. A yellow undercoat is coated by an orange overcoating to create a high-voltage barrier. The impact-resistant, flame-retardant insulation offers protection against flashover, shock, burns, and dropped tool shorts. It blocks harmful accidents and injury that can take place with standard tools.
 
Use of Cementex double-insulated torque wrenches guarantees that professionals will be free from risk to high-voltage exposure on the job. These calibrated torque wrenches are mainly designed in compliance with National Electrical Code 2017-110.14 (D) requirements for installation applications where a tightening torque is indicated as a numeric value on the equipment or in the installation instructions presented by equipment manufacturers. They can also be used to comply with NEC specifications for mounting electrical panels, as well as meeting NFPA 70E standards for tools required to protect workers in proximity to electrical equipment.
 
New updates showcase a range of modified ratchet head profile styles that allow workers to access hard to reach areas quicker and easier without incident. The huge lever control makes changes easy, even while wearing insulated gloves. Available options now come with standard, low profile, clockwise only, and short drive models, as well as a secured head style. Three additional sizes have been added to the line, which now includes seven sizes.
 
With Cementex's torque wrenches, an audible 'click' or a few degrees of rotation offer a simple, fast indication of micrometer-accurate torque settings. The wrenches feature a low-friction torque control mechanism to produce accurate readings in either direction. The wrenches' spring-loaded or twist-locking collar keeps the scale on the desired reading and remains in a locked position, making accidental unlocking impossible. Dual-scale wrench models offer readings in inch-pounds and Newton meters or foot-pounds and Newton meters.
