Torque Drive binders are designed and meant to be operated differently than anyother binder. It is best if your drivers can set aside any preconceived notionsand past experience with operating binders. These require a new understandingof how they lock the chain tight. Done properly, drivers will experience lessshoulder strain, easier operation, safer load securement, and faster tiedown/release times.Let’s start with the handle. Traditional binders use a “pawl” that is built intothe handle to engage the gear around the barrel that, when rotated, pulls thethreaded posts either in or out. This is not the case with our binder. Thehandle is not to be used in the traditional/rotational sense. The handle on theTorque Drive is actually a reaction bar first and handle for carrying second.The handle does not have the traditional ratcheting abilities like a standard ratcheting binder. Our binder was designed to be operated by a cordless drill. In a pinch, someonecan simply use a 14 mm wrench or socket if a drill breaks or batteries go dead. We really discourage the use of an impact. We are looking for rotational torque, not “hitting” torque. Impacts can shorten the life of the hex head drive nut.The locking mechanism for Torque Drive is having the handle against the floorof the trailer or against a part of the equipment you are tying down. With thehandle against (reacting) a stationary object we develop superior chaintightness. Because we attain such high chain tightness, we virtually eliminatechains loosening with tire mash (bridge abutments, bumps, railroad tracks,etc.). Done correctly, it should take about five to seven pounds of force topull the handle off the floor of the trailer.Place the binder as close to the rub rail as possible so that the handle willbe able to hit the floor of the trailer or position so the handle is against apart of the unit being tied down.
