QWORK

Publishes the dimension, whatever the tool

What they actually do

Hand tools and pneumatic tools across several families: filter wrenches, air sanders, circuit testers, pressure gauges. There is no obvious specialism, and there is a consistent habit.

The habit

Publishing measurements. A 300 mm (11.8 in) handle with a 660 mm (26 in) band for filters to 160 mm (6.30 in); a 125 mm (4.92 in) sander at 12,000 rpm with a 5 mm (0.20 in) orbit. Those are the figures that answer a purchase question, and they are stated.

What is still missing

Air consumption on the pneumatic tools, and accuracy classes on the measuring ones. Both are common gaps in this price band.

Where they sit

Entry to mid price, with better documentation than most tools at that level.
