Overview
The Balcrank 3330-172 DR Series Digital Control Handle combines precision oval gear metering technology with a flexible memory-retention extension and narrow 1/4-turn manual tip optimized for ATF dispensing. This factory-calibrated unit features ±0.5% accuracy across a flow range of 0.26 to 8 gallons per minute, with a precision-machined aluminum die-cast fluid chamber that maintains tight tolerances without field calibration. The lightweight, ergonomically balanced design includes an auto-sleep function for extended battery life, a non-resettable totalizer, trip mode for batch dispensing, and a rugged polycarbonate housing with impact-resistant over-mold. Ideal for automotive service facilities, fleet operations, and lube truck applications handling oils, transmission fluids, and antifreeze solutions up to 1,450 psi.
