FAQs
What is the main difference between the two impact wrenches in the kit?
The 1/2" impact wrench offers higher torque (1050Nm tightening, 1790Nm breakaway) for heavy-duty tasks, while the 3/8" wrench is ultra-compact (110mm length) with 340Nm of torque, ideal for working in tight spaces.
Are these tools compatible with other brands of 18V batteries?
No, these tools are designed specifically for the Kielder TYPE18 18V battery system. Only Kielder TYPE18 batteries and chargers should be used.
How do I select the correct torque and speed mode?
Refer to the tool's manual or consult application guides. Generally, start with lower settings for delicate materials or small fasteners and higher settings for large, stubborn fasteners. The variable speed trigger also allows for fine-tuning.
What type of sockets should I use with these impact wrenches?
Always use impact-rated sockets. Standard sockets can shatter under the force of an impact wrench, posing a safety hazard.
What is the warranty period for these tools?
Please refer to the warranty documentation included with your product or visit the Kielder Tools website for the most up-to-date warranty information.
Can I use the 1/2" wrench for everyday tasks like furniture assembly?
While possible, the 1/2" wrench's high torque may be excessive for light-duty tasks and could damage smaller fasteners or materials. The 3/8" wrench or a standard drill might be more suitable for such applications.
How should I maintain the brushless motor?
Brushless motors are low-maintenance. Ensure the tool's air vents are kept clear of dust and debris. Periodically clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not power on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly seated in the tool. Check if the battery contacts are clean.
Reduced power or torque output
The battery may be low on charge. Try a fully charged battery. Ensure the anvil and socket connection is secure and the socket is not worn.
Tool stops unexpectedly
This could be due to thermal overload protection. Allow the tool to cool down for 15-30 minutes before resuming use. Ensure vents are not blocked.
Impact mechanism not engaging
Check for any obstructions around the impact mechanism. Ensure you are using an impact-rated socket. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
