Bilco’s patented "Soft Touch" Tong system provides maximum tong control, which is crucial in the prevention of cross threading, galling, and shoulder damage. Other systems lack the control provided by the "Soft Touch" system by relying too heavily on operator judgement, and applying final torque too quickly. Their recording systems indicate damage only after it has occurred.

The Bilco "Soft Touch" system eliminates these problems by providing flexible variable speed control, a patented tong disengagement feature which prevents thread damage, increased operator safety, and adaptability to various recording systems.
