Statement
Many companies will perform at best a ‘visual inspection or free running function test’ on hand tooling. For vibration control measures a ‘free running test, air test or laboratory test’ in the majority of cases are unsatisfactory and in some cases vibration m/s2 levels are recorded 2 x higher than value shown in the catalogue when actually tested in service.
WOR-Lifts always recommend an on load test is performed on all hand tools before returning to the customer after any examination, inspection or repair to confirm its correct functioning. This type of test ensures the tooling items works correctly through its operation, this is even more essential when testing on site as you may have no equipment history, making an on load test hand arm vibration test the only test that should be carried out.
On a final note, visual inspections without operating the equipment really tell the inspector very little. You cannot tell the condition of the internal working parts, an impact wrench can be badly bashed from the outside and yet still work perfectly, while a brand new impact wrench may have been under lubricated or incorrectly used in its first operation causing the anvil to be damaged or the reverse mechanism damaged, both of these conditions can only 100% be verified by on load testing of your hand tools.
