The product range includes both battery and electric powered tools, as well as
proprietary batteries and a battery charger. Tool selection is generally determined by
user preference, and includes considerations such as availability of electrical power
outlets and the convenience of cordless operation. The battery powered version (model
# PTX) employs one battery (model # PTX-B) which requires a charger (PTX-BC1, PTX-
BC2 or PTX-BC2-UK); these are sold separately, but can also be purchased with the tool
in a kit (see models and descriptions above).
All of the tools in the PTX Series have reversible motors, allowing the user
to use the tools to unwrap a wire wrapped termination. (NOTE: unwrapping requires a
separate bit and sleeve or a dedicated manual unwrapping tool; DO NOT attempt to unwrap
with a bit and sleeve that is used for wrapping, this will damage the bit and sleeve and is
detrimental to the reliability of the connection). The Backforce option, available only in the PTX-
48BF (48V), PTX-1BF (115V) and the PTX-2BF and PTX-2BF-UK (230V) electric powered tools,
is a feature that helps to prevent overwrapping. A spring that is mounted internally in the
collet/shaft assembly of the tool helps to absorb pressure that an untrained operator may apply
while wrapping (see page 12 for an illustration of an overwrapped termination).
