Five Questions That Indicate You Need a New Bolting Tool Company
Purchase. Break. Repair. Break. Repair. BREAK. REPAIR….
If you use bolting tools and this pattern is part of your daily work life, you are a victim of the low standards set by the hydraulic tool industry.
As an industry professional contributing to the hundreds of millions of dollars spent each year on hydraulic tools, you need to ask yourself, “Why do I accept this low standard from the tools I purchase?”
The Five Questions That Indicate You Are Buying Low Quality Tools.
Whether you are trying to find a good torque wrench for a wellhead or a hydraulic nut splitter to remove nuts from a flange, it is not uncommon for you to you ask your current hydraulic tool company the following questions when you make a tool purchase.
- Are replacement parts regularly available for the tool I’m purchasing?
- What is your repair policy and how fast can I get a technician to repair my tool when it breaks?
- Can you shorten the lead time for receiving for tool delivery?
- Do you give a discount on multiple tools, such as torque wrenches, since I need to use several to get the job done faster?
- How much will multiples of the same tool cost, since I need backups when this one breaks?
If you find yourself asking any or all of these questions, you’ve clearly fallen into the same trap as countless others. You’ve come to tolerate the low standard set by nearly all companies in the hydraulic tool industry. Take a torque wrench for example.
- A good torque wrench should not break when you need it most.
- You shouldn’t have to buy backup torque wrenches as a precaution against down time when the torque wrench you are using inevitably breaks.
- You don’t need to purchase multiple torque wrenches, as some companies want you to believe, to get the job done faster. Only one fast torque wrench, such as the SpinTORQ Torque Wrench, is needed.
- You shouldn’t be forced to wait an unreasonable amount of time to get the torque wrench you needed yesterday.
There is a Better Way
You deserve better. It’s time to demand more from the hydraulic tool industry. Reliable, tough, fast and innovative tools are not too much to ask for when making expensive and important tool purchases. When buying your next tools look for a tool company that:
- Rises above the current industry standard of slow and weak tools.
- Doesn’t advertise how fast they can make repairs or how many parts they have available to fix your tool. (These are sure signs a company knows their tools will break and most likely break when they are needed the most.)
- Sells tools you can depend on and backs up the strength and reliability of their tools with an industry leading warranty.
- Truly has fast and tough tools and doesn’t make deceiving claims of speed and reliability.
- Delivers on time and with one of the best lead times in the industry.
By finding a company, like FASTORQ, that goes above and beyond current hydraulic tool industry standards and delivers all of the important criteria of a great tool company, you ensure you are making the best tool purchase you can make.
So, instead of thinking you have no choice but to accept the low industry standard, you need to demand more. Demand FASTORQ!
