AB Tools Air Impact Wrench - 3/4" Drive - 2000 Nm or 2500 Nm
Professional air impact wrench for commercial or occasional use. This 3/4” drive air impact wrench...Professional air impact wrench for commercial or occasional use. This 3/4” drive air impact wrench features a composite design for access in restricted hard-to-reach areas. It fits any 3/4” drive sockets (impact or CR-V steel). The standard torque is up to 2000 Nm / 1475 ft/lbs, with a Nut-Busting Torque (NBT) of 2500 Nm / 1845 ft/lbs. "Nut-busting torque" is often quoted as the wrench's ability to loosen a nut tightened with a specified amount of torque within a given time period. This compact, high-performance impact wrench has a drive anvil made from high-quality, durable material with special heat treatment for maximum working life. The twin hammer impact mechanism delivers balanced power and 2500 Nm of torque. Its ergonomically designed composite grip absorbs vibration, reducing hand fatigue. The handle exhaust includes a muffler to reduce noise and direct discharged air away from the working area. It is reversible by simply turning the lever on the back. Trigger operation allows for variable speed, which can also be controlled by moving the lever on the back of the impact gun head. Specifications: 3/4” Square drive, Free speed 5500 RPM, Maximum torque – 2000 Nm / 1475 ft/lbs, CFM – 8 cfm, 2500 Nm (NUT BUSTING TORQUE) - NBT, Air inlet – 3/8" BSP, Recommended air hose dimension – 10mm, Air pressure 6 – 8 kg/cm, Total weight – 3750 grams, Noise 90 Db(A), Air setting dial on the rear, Forward or reverse, Twin hammer clutch, Working pressure – 90 PSI.
This 3/4" drive air impact wrench from AB Tools is designed for professionals and serious DIYers needing powerful torque for demanding automotive and industrial tasks. Its key benefit is the high nut-busting torque of up to 2500 Nm, enabling quick removal of stubborn fasteners, while its composite design offers better access in tight spaces. A potential caveat is its weight and the need for an adequate air supply.

FAQs
What is "Nut-Busting Torque" (NBT)?
Nut-Busting Torque refers to the maximum torque the wrench can deliver to loosen a seized or overtightened fastener. It's often higher than the standard working torque.
What size air hose should I use?
A 10mm dimension air hose is recommended for optimal performance and consistent air delivery.
How often should I lubricate the tool?
It is recommended to lubricate the air motor daily with appropriate air tool oil for best results and to prolong its lifespan.
Can I use this wrench with regular (non-impact) sockets?
While it can fit 3/4" drive CR-V steel sockets, using impact-rated sockets is highly recommended for safety and durability when using an impact wrench.
What is the required air pressure?
The recommended working air pressure is between 6-8 kg/cm², which is approximately 90 PSI.
Does this wrench come with a socket set?
This product is the impact wrench itself and does not typically include a socket set. You will need to supply your own 3/4" drive sockets.
How do I switch between forward and reverse?
There is a lever located on the back of the impact gun head that allows you to easily switch between forward and reverse rotation.
Troubleshooting
Wrench not providing enough torque
Check air pressure is at 90 PSI, ensure air hose is 10mm or larger, verify air compressor is delivering sufficient CFM, and lubricate the tool.
Wrench runs slowly or intermittently
Inspect air line for kinks or leaks, check air filter for blockages, and lubricate the tool's air motor.
Difficulty switching between forward and reverse
Ensure the tool is fully powered off before attempting to change direction. Check the reversing lever for obstructions or damage.
Excessive noise or vibration
Confirm the composite grip is securely attached. Check internal components for wear if the issue persists after lubrication.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Exceptional nut-busting torque for stubborn bolts.
