Is there a electric Torque Driver where you can set the pounds torque, and have it electrically torqued to the specified amount? It will be used for cast iron pipe couplers with metal screw-drive bands. For example, you can set it at 60 pounds, and the driver will torque the metal pipe band to 60 bands. Thank you for your interest.

Milwaukee M12 Fuel, electronic wrench from like 10 to 250 ft lbs I think.

It’s just crazy expensive. You could get a half dozen hand torque wrenches for the same cost.

thinking of something like an impact driver, with LCD screen, and a dial to set pounds in increments of ten

Oh for that you’d just use torque sticks on a normal driver: https://www.geniustoolsusa.com/genius-tools-10-piece-1-2-dr-torque-extension-bar-torque-stick-set-to-410ext.html?srsltid=AU7gw4VuvErJXnZXGEsJbTvwxPmew_uoiIT-_XkFXxqyxrnT3nAMV5WC

too many bits. Is that compatible for steel pipe couplers with screw-drive band?

I know they exist because a job I worked at need some for assembling certain products. I don’t remember the brand name but they were expensive enough they’d really only ever be bought for professional use. These were for smaller screws in electronics, but I’m sure they exist for larger sizes, too

I think pipe couple screw-drive bands are 3/8 inch :)
