Customized solutions with GFA

We offer a complete range of tailored solutions with Geared Front Attachments for torque applications in cramped spaces and on tube nuts

Customized solutions with Geared Front Attachments (GFAs) are available on most of our tightening tools. Thanks to an optimized design of the GFAs, we offer the best performance-to-size ratio, productivity and ergonomics on torque applications in cramped spaces and on tube nuts.

Our patented solution for metal particle collection in the geared head increases the product lifetime and the greasing intervals, allowing you to reduce total cost of ownership.

The Atlas Copco approach to customized solutions with GFA will deliver a tailored solution with increased accessibility, ergonomics and flexibility while still delivering the same quality and performance as our standard tools.

Our solutions are connected with Power Focus 6000, providing a common tightening platform and bringing superior productivity, ergonomics and connectivity.
