Sturtevant Richmont

Sophisticated industrial torque tool users reach for tools that are accurate, reliable, and durable. They need tools they trust. Sturtevant Richmont makes tools you trust.

How durable is durable? We stopped making our Cal-30 torque screwdriver in 1972. We still get those tools back for calibration. A NASCAR team bought Sturtevant Richmont torque tool analyzer in 1963. They used it well and won year after year. They finally bought another torque analyzer in 2013. All of our tools and testers are famous for that kind of durability.

In 1924 Walter P. Chrysler developed the torque wrench and licensed P.A. Sturtevant to manufacture and sell his invention. In 1940 Frank Livermont incorporated Richmont Torque Tools.

The inventive genius and drive for innovation imbued by our company founders run deep in our DNA. Our list of patented inventions includes the torque screwdriver, the click wrench, interchangeable heads for torque wrenches, radio-equipped tools that track and integrate hand tools into your MES.

Our wireless error-proofing systems reduce rework and warranty costs while increasing productivity and throughput. Our digital wrenches communicate both ways with manufacturing systems to provide immediate traceability of work, work quality, and more. Our tools can tell the manufacturing system if a bolt was missed in assembly and prompt the operator to fix the error before the piece moves on. They can tell if a bolt is cross-threaded or it has already been tightened.

Our torque tools are used around the world, under the ocean, and up in space because our tools are reliable, durable, and they retain their accuracy despite the environment. When tool failure is not an option reach for the tools you trust. Sturtevant Richmont: The Tools You Trust!
