KATO Articulating Torque Arm

KATO Articulating
Torque Arm

Tool Orientation and
Absorb Reaction Force.

KATO Articulating Torque Arm (2KARM-1) is a torque reaction arm, designed to install Tangless or tanged KATO CoilThread inserts using any KATO electric installation tool. Add the optional Air Tool Kit (2KARM-1A), and the KATO Articulating Torque Arm will work seemlessly with the KATO pneumatic installation tools.

The KATO Articulating Arm offers an unprecedented smoothness of Articulating and rotational movements as it absorbs the torque reaction inherent with power installation tools. The KATO Articulating Arm delivers ultra smooth vertical and rotational motion, provides ergonomic support for the operator, and reduces operator fatigue. The fluid movement of the KATO Articulating Arm increases precision and production for a variety of applications.
