Faster by Design: Three New Models Join the B-RAD X™ Series

UP TO 55% FASTER THAN B-RAD SELECT

When crews are working through repeated torque cycles, every second counts.

RAD Torque Systems is expanding the B-RAD X Series with three new models built to move work forward: the B-RAD X 500/700-M, B-RAD X 1000/1400-M and B-RAD X 1500/2000-M. Spanning 50 to 1500 ft-lb (70 to 2000 Nm), these tools complete torque cycles up to 55% faster than the B-RAD Select Series and extend B-RAD X performance into applications that require lower torque.

Each model comes ready for the job with two 18V batteries, a charger, durable storage case and cast reaction arm.

Speed Without Compromise

Fast is only valuable when every fastener is torqued accurately and consistently. These models pair shorter cycles with the control and rugged performance required for industrial work:

  • Purpose-built gearbox configurations matched to each model’s torque range
  • 3.5% full-scale accuracy
  • ±2% repeatability
  • Integrated Torque + Angle functionality for greater fastening control
  • Efficient battery performance for more work between charges
  • Standard handguard for added operator protection.
  • Two-hand start option
  • NFPA 70 NEC Certified: Class I, Division 2
  • Proven B-RAD X durability for demanding industrial environments

Where Speed Pays Off

The advantage is clearest in repetitive fastening work and time-sensitive maintenance:

Oil and Gas

Move efficiently through smaller-diameter flange bolting, valve maintenance, wellhead assemblies and pump skids in challenging field environments.

Mining

Keep maintenance moving across conveyor systems, crusher components, screens and chutes in harsh mine site conditions.

Wind Energy

Bring cordless control to tower internals, platforms, ladders, junction boxes and nacelle components, complementing higher-torque B-RAD X tools used on larger structural connections.

Manufacturing and Heavy Equipment

Support production assembly, structural fabrication, equipment maintenance and repair – work where shorter torque cycles can improve overall flow.

Award-Winning for a Reason

The B-RAD X Series earned the 2024 Bronze Edison Award in Commercial Technology: Engineering and Manufacturing Tools, as well as the 2024 Pro Tool Innovation Award for Auto and Metal – Wrenches.

That recognition reflects the innovation at the core of B-RAD X: faster torque cycles, advanced control and proven durability in one cordless platform. These new models build on that foundation, bringing the same award-winning approach to lower-torque applications where speed and efficiency can make a meaningful difference.

Put Speed to Work

Whether you are improving production flow or maintaining critical equipment in the field, there is now a faster B-RAD X built for the job.
