The HYTORC Washer works with a double-layered socket; the outer socket holds onto the washer while the inner socket turns the nut. This eliminates the reaction arm, the most common source of safety incidents on all bolting jobs. By eliminating the reaction arm, the side force that is applied is eliminated, allowing a more consistent bolt load from bolt to bolt. Though many bolting systems boast about accuracy, the HYTORC Washer assures an even and accurate bolt load, the true measurement for joint integrity.
