Tool Maintenance
Every year, vast amounts of money are lost to industries worldwide due to the breakdown of capital-intensive hydraulic and pneumatic tools. This extensive loss of revenue could be drastically reduced if users and owners were always able to call upon specialist repairers at short notice to identify the faults and carry out fast, reliable, guaranteed repairs.
Tool maintenance is an essential aspect of tool use and ownership. Regular maintenance ensures that the tools are functioning correctly and in good condition, which helps extend their lifespan and prevent breakdowns during use. This can save time and money in the long run by avoiding the need for costly repairs or replacements. Furthermore, properly maintained tools are safer to use, as worn or damaged tools can pose a hazard to the user and those around them. Regular maintenance also helps ensure that the tools are accurate and produce consistent results, making them more reliable and effective for their intended tasks. Overall, tool maintenance is a crucial component of responsible tool ownership and use, and it should not be overlooked or neglected.

Torque Wrench Calibration Tool
Manual, pneumatic, electric and hydraulic torque tools (bolting tools) are designed to apply accurate and measurable torque forces to bolts and nuts to ensure that the correct amount of tension is applied to maintain the integrity of the bolted joint.
In most cases, bolting tools are used extensively to tighten hundreds and sometimes thousands of bolts and nuts. It is, therefore, essential to have these tools regularly checked, tested, and calibrated on independently certified torque tool calibration equipment.
Tools should checked, tested, and, if necessary, recalibrated at least every 12 months. However, in cases of extensive tool use, this should be considered more frequently.
Wanawake Industrial Supplies offers in-house torque tool calibration services using the best available calibration equipment, with valid, independently approved “UKAS” calibration certificates regularly renewed in line with international standards and codes of practice.
All torque tools tested and calibrated are issued with an individual test and calibration certificate, which is traceable to the UKAS-certified calibration equipment used. Whether it is a simple hand torque wrench, a manual or powered torque multiplier, or a hydraulic torque wrench from Hi-Force or any other leading brand, utilising our torque tool calibration service is the best way to ensure torque tools consistently deliver accurate torque.
Wanawake Industrial Supplies can have SANAS calibration performed on torque tools and gauges when required by the end-user.
