The shift to
globalization in manufacturing has dramatically increased the
need for factory modernization and automation. And as always,
uninterrupted performance has continued to be a critical component in any
manufacturing success story.
LINK® Tools have been used extensively in
the on-going maintenance of nuclear power facilities in the
United States and Canada and in the retrofitting of missiles
to the U.S. Navy’s nuclear powered submarine fleet. The
benefits of using LINK tools are equally important, however,
in relation both to installation and maintenance of all costly
machinery.
Whatever the
industry, from manufacturing to quality control and inspection
to packaging, the overriding issue is to keep complex
technology running at maximum efficiency at all times. Modern equipment
routinely combines characteristics of large equipment with the
precision operations traditionally associated with robotics,
where tool separations can halt line work and endanger or
destroy component machinery.
Link’s unique
‘hand-to-work’ promise, which insures no dropped sockets or
tool separations, is unmatched by any other hand tools. Their ability to
lock together with sockets and extendors also makes LINK Tools superior
in repairs to areas which are not easily accessible for
ordinary hand tools.
LINK Tools
are the first hand tools to ever receive certification
documentation regarding their unique ability to stay attached
to each other during use.
In the
nuclear power industry LINK Tools have been
applauded for their safety features and for the ease with
which users were able to integrate them into their daily
tasks. According
to one executive, “This was not a product that required
extensive or expensive training to be
effective.”
The LINK tools were
awarded a “Q-Mark” by TÜV, Europe’s premiere licensing
organization, for safety, durability and ergonomic excellence.
Further impacting the efficiency-conscious atmosphere required
in today’s corporations and businesses, LINK Tools received a
second “Q-Mark” for fostering productivity in addition to
ergonomic excellence. In
prolonged on-the-job studies, LINK tools were
certified to significantly improve task performance as well as
reducing body strain.
LINK Tools system incorporates all drive
size tools, from 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch. The company also
offers accessories, including the new Ratcheting UniDriver®
