How the NF-Series Works

The NF-Series uses a clutch mechanism to control torque output. Once the preset torque value is reached, the clutch disengages to help improve fastening consistency and reduce the risk of over-tightening.

Depending on the model selected, the tool may feature:

• Lever start operation
• Push-to-start operation
• Adjustable torque settings
• Brushless motor technology
• ESD-safe protection

Result:

• Consistent fastening performance
• Reduced fastener damage
• Improved assembly quality
• Lower maintenance requirements
• Increased productivity
