Strap wrenches which are commercially available for general purpose duty usually have shortcomings when applied to the production or maintenance demands of circular connector work. That was the design consideration of the exceptional strap wrenches offered by DMC. Various strap widths are available from 5/15" to 1" and gripping diameters from 1/2" to 4", the model having 2 1/4" maximum diameter being the most popular.
Loopless Straight Strap (SS) Wrenches
All straps wear and break. The most common point of wear is at the upper edge of the tool tip, near the base of the strap. The standard straps have a loop sewn into one end and attach to the wrench body with a simple link. However, when the strap eventually breaks, it is unusable. The Loopless Strap Tool Series uses a clamping buckle to attach a loopless strap to the wrench body. When a loopless strap breaks at the strain point, the majority of the strap is still usable. The operator simply removes the broken section, installs the remaining strap, and continues working.
Handle-Less Strap Wrenches
HANDLE-LESS STRAP WRENCHES DMC’s handle-less strap wrench has been specifically designed for torque-accurate connector assembly. Based on DMC’s established line of torque wrenches, the handle-less strap wrench attaches to the BT-ST-302D Digital Torque Tool and provides accurate torque without the interference of the strap wrench handle.
