The Torque of the Town

About this episode

Kevin and Willie discuss torque mechanics and fastening technology with Steve Argo from Quantum Tools.

This week, Kevin and Willie talk shop with Quantum Tools president Steve Argo about the fundamental mechanics of torque, how bolts actually handle stress, and how fastening technology has changed over the years. They also break down Quantum’s new approach to torque wrench design, one that bridges the gap between old-school reliability and modern tech. The tool pairs a traditional mechanical clicker with a digital gyro, giving technicians and weekend wrench-turners both the speed of a manual wrench and the precise angle tracking of a digital system.
