Motorized Electric Torque Wrench Recommendations?

[YoshiMoshi3]

Can someone please recommend a motorized electric torque wrench? A tool were you input the torque value you want to tighten the fastener to, and then pull the trigger, and it automatically torques the wrench for you via a motor to the specified torque. No manually wrenching with your hands to the specified torque.

I know of for example that Milwaukee makes two, 2465-20, https://www.milwaukeetool.com/products/2465-20. But at $700 it's not really economical and doesn't make sense over just using a manual torque wrench. I know there's also precision bolting systems that costs a few thousands of dollars.

These tools have like timestamped digital records that can be stored, can connect to Wi-Fi, etc. I don't need any of these futures. I just want a motorized torque wrench that can automatically torque fasteners for me. I don't need or want any of all these other additional futures like timestamped records. I was hoping I could find one that didn't have all these extra futures for cheaper, but I don't think one exists?

I was hoping maybe someone on here knew of a more economical one that was more affordable?

The ones we had at work were about $15K each and didn’t survive til their first calibration at 90 days into the test period. All were gone out of the plant by the 270th day. About a $300K failure.

The Milwaukee ones are the "cheap" option...

As stated the Milwaukee one is the “cheap” option. The one I have at the day job was $7k and only gets used by those I deem responsible enough to use it.

The "pistol grip tool" seems to be the gold standard.

The Milwaukee isn't very accurate as it's an impact. It just gets you into the "ball park." The good ones $$$$$$$ are very low geared drills that mimic how you use a torque wrench by hand meaning a slow steady pull or in this case rotation.

Hytorc Lion Gun. They ain't cheap though. They require a torque arm/some sort of mount to apply torque against. I have no experience with them though, just seen em on YT.

I heard the M12 one ***** for accuracy. Again, no personal experience with them either.

Accuracy is rarely to never on the table when shopping for cheap. Torque wrenches are all about accuracy.
