Pneumatic torque wrench Pneumatic torque wrench A pneumatic torque wrench is a planetary torque multiplier or a gearbox that is mated to a pneumatic air motor.

The torque output is adjusted by controlling the air pressure. These planetary torque multiplier gearboxes have multiplication ratios up to 125:1 and are primarily used anywhere accurate torque is required on a nut and bolt, or where a stubborn nut needs to be removed.
