While some standard hydraulic pumps may generate sufficient pressure, torque wrench pumps are specifically engineered for bolting applications. They provide smoother pressure regulation, proper flow output for cycling, and accurate pressure gauge monitoring. Torque wrench pumps are designed to handle repetitive cycling during shutdown and flange work. Using a general-purpose pump can result in poor control, inefficient cycling, and inconsistent tightening performance.
