Winter conditions can take a serious toll on industrial tools. At Industrial Bolting, we often see an increase in torque-wrench performance issues during colder months—especially in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin, where rapid temperature swings are common. Cold weather does more than make jobsites uncomfortable; it can directly affect torque accuracy, reliability, and tool lifespan. […]

Across Indiana and the greater Midwest, aerospace manufacturing continues to accelerate. New aircraft programs, supplier expansions, and rising demand are pushing assembly lines to operate faster and more efficiently. Industrial Bolting supports aerospace manufacturers throughout Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Illinois, helping teams adapt to changing production requirements with short-term hydraulic torque wrench rentals. As production […]

At Industrial Bolting, we understand that achieving safe, reliable bolted connections requires more than simply hitting a torque value. Bolt load testing plays a critical role in verifying actual clamp load—not just applied torque. Whether you’re supporting industrial facilities in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, or Wisconsin, or managing projects nationwide, relying on torque alone can leave […]

For decision-makers overseeing turbine installation, commissioning, and long-term maintenance, having reliable, high-precision torque tooling is critical. Industrial Bolting supports wind energy projects across Indiana and the greater Midwest with RAD wind turbine turning gear kits and RAD torque gun rentals and sales designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern wind turbines.

In heavy-industry bolting operations, torque tools deliver critical performance — but those same tools can also pose serious health risks. At Industrial Bolting, we help companies understand and manage one of the most significant concerns related to vibration exposure: Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS). HAVS is a cumulative occupational injury caused by repeated vibration exposure, making […]

Industrial torque tools are built for demanding environments, but even the most reliable equipment eventually shows signs of wear. As colder temperatures settle across the U.S.—especially throughout the Midwest—hydraulic and pneumatic torque tools become more susceptible to performance issues. At Industrial Bolting, we provide expert torque tool calibrations and understand how winter conditions can thicken […]

Industrial Bolting helps industrial crews across Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, and the broader Midwest stay on schedule during winter projects. Cold temperatures, tight deadlines, and high equipment demand can create costly delays—but reserving hydraulic torque wrench rentals and other industrial tool rentals early ensures your team has the right equipment when they need it, keeping […]

When industrial crews across the Midwest face freezing temperatures, the choice of tools matters—especially when reliability, safety, and productivity are at stake. Industrial Torque Tools recommends the B-RAD Select Battery Wrench for winter projects where compressed air lines may freeze or electricity isn’t readily available. In harsh, cold-weather environments, these cordless torque tools are becoming […]

Across heavy industries—manufacturing, power generation, construction, and mining—one small mistake can trigger major consequences: improperly torqued bolts. Industrial Bolting, with locations in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin, recognizes the critical role precision plays in every bolted connection and helps crews prevent torque errors before they become costly problems. Even minor torque deviations can cause bolts […]

Autumn in Wisconsin brings change to the land, and with it, new demands on mining equipment. Warm days give way to cool nights, and steel feels the strain. It expands in the heat and contracts in the cold. Bolts, if not properly torqued, begin to loosen. A loose bolt in mining is no small thing. […]
