The Enerpac Square Drive Aluminium Hydraulic Torque Wrench, 7640 Nm Torque, 1 1/2 in. Square Drive (SKU-DSX5000), delivers powerful torque performance in a lightweight, portable design. Part of the DSX-Series, this tool combines high-output torque capacity with enhanced operator safety and convenience, making it a dependable choice for demanding bolting applications across industries such as oil and gas, power generation, construction, and heavy transport.

At just 8.1 kg, the DSX5000 offers a significant reduction in weight compared to traditional steel-bodied torque wrenches. The use of high-strength aluminium ensures the tool is easier to handle during prolonged operations, reducing operator fatigue without compromising strength or durability. The slimline design allows for better access to restricted spaces, while its robust build withstands the demands of daily use in industrial settings.

One of the most notable aspects of the DSX-Series is its commitment to operator safety, particularly for those working at height. The DSX5000 incorporates patented safety features designed to minimise the risk of dropped tools or components. A built-in work-at-height tether point provides a secure connection, and the retained reaction arm eliminates the risk of components falling when released. These features address common risks faced in elevated or confined worksites, helping operators work more confidently and safely.

The wrench also includes a fully enclosed drive, protecting the operator from moving parts and enhancing reliability in challenging environments. An ergonomic safety handle offers improved grip and control, reducing the risk of strain during extended use. Together with ATEX certification, the DSX5000 provides assurance for safe operation in explosive or hazardous atmospheres, broadening its scope of application to environments where safety compliance is paramount.

Beyond safety, the DSX5000 is engineered for efficiency and performance. Its constant torque output delivers an accuracy of ±3% across the full stroke, ensuring precision in controlled bolting tasks. The fine-tooth ratchet design prevents the tool from ‘locking on’, while a 35-degree rotation angle and rapid return stroke make for faster, more productive operation. This efficiency is further supported by a high-cycle design with fewer moving parts, reducing wear and extending service life.

Flexibility is also at the forefront of the design. A push-button square drive and reaction arm allow for quick adjustments, ensuring the tool can be configured easily for different applications. The reaction arm locking mechanism—another patented feature—simplifies set-up while enhancing operator safety. In addition, the handle can be mounted on either side of the tool, giving users greater manoeuvrability in confined or awkward spaces.

Supplied with a calibration certificate as standard, the DSX5000 assures users of its accuracy and reliability from the outset. Every tool in the series is CE and ATEX declared, underlining Enerpac’s commitment to compliance and operator safety in regulated industries.

Despite its array of advanced features, the DSX5000 is competitively priced within the mid-market range. This positions it as an excellent choice for companies and contractors seeking a balance between premium safety, reliable performance, and cost efficiency. It is particularly well-suited to mid-weight users who need a powerful, trustworthy tool for repetitive bolting operations, without incurring the higher costs associated with top-end torque wrenches.

With its combination of high torque output, reduced weight, innovative safety features, and proven reliability, the Enerpac DSX5000 offers a forward-thinking solution for professionals who prioritise both performance and safety in demanding working environments.
