FAQs

What is the maximum torque output of this impact wrench?

The maximum torque is 950 lb.ft (1288 Nm).

What size air hose is recommended?

A 1/4" BSP inlet is standard. Using an appropriately sized hose (typically 3/8" or 1/2" internal diameter) is recommended to ensure adequate air flow and pressure.

Does this impact wrench come with sockets?

No, this product is the impact wrench tool only. Impact sockets are sold separately.

How do I use the 2-stage trigger?

Gently pull the trigger for low-speed, low-torque operation (up to 272 Nm). Pull the trigger fully to engage maximum torque and speed.

What is the warranty period?

The impact wrench is backed by a 2-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

Can I use this for general household tasks?

This is a professional-grade, heavy-duty tool designed for demanding tasks. While it can be used for general tasks, its power might be excessive and requires proper handling.

How does the handle exhaust benefit me?

The exhaust directs air away from the user, reducing noise and preventing debris (like brake dust) from being blown around, creating a cleaner and quieter work environment.

Troubleshooting

Tool lacks power or operates slowly.

Check air compressor pressure (should be at least 90 psi), ensure air hose is adequate diameter and free of kinks, verify air consumption meets tool's requirements (9.5 cfm), and ensure proper lubrication.

Forward/reverse switch is difficult to operate.

Ensure the switch is fully engaged in the desired direction. Check for any debris obstructing the switch mechanism. If persistent, contact customer support.

Excessive vibration during operation.

Ensure the hammer cage support mechanism is intact and not damaged. Check that the tool is properly lubricated. If vibration persists, there may be internal wear, contact support.

Air leaks from the tool body.

Inspect all connection points for a secure fit. Check the composite casing for cracks or damage. For internal leaks, professional servicing may be required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional torque output for demanding applications.
  • Comfortable to use for extended periods due to composite body and soft grip.
  • Precise control with the 2-stage trigger.
  • Reduced vibration and noise levels for a better working environment.
  • One-handed forward/reverse control enhances efficiency.

Cons

  • Requires an air compressor and air line, adding to setup complexity and cost.
  • Maximum torque might be overkill for lighter tasks.
  • Noise levels, while reduced, still require hearing protection.
  • Performance is dependent on the quality and capacity of the air supply.
  • The 1/4" BSP inlet size might require an adapter depending on existing air hoses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect Air Line: Attach a suitable 1/4" BSP air hose to the tool's inlet. Ensure the connection is secure.
  2. Air Supply: Connect the hose to an air compressor capable of providing at least 9.5 cfm (cubic feet per minute) at 90 psi (pounds per square inch).
  3. Lubrication: For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to use an inline air tool oiler or add a few drops of specialized air tool oil into the air inlet before each use.

Compatibility:

  • Sockets: Requires 1/2" square drive impact sockets.
  • Air Fittings: Uses a 1/4" BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread for the air inlet. Ensure your air hose coupling matches or use an appropriate adapter.
  • Air Compressor: Requires a compressor that can sustain a minimum of 90 psi operating pressure and deliver 9.5 cfm air consumption.

Care:

  • Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the composite casing with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using solvents that could damage the grip material.
  • Air System Maintenance: Regularly drain moisture from your air compressor tank and check air lines for leaks.
  • Lubrication: Apply air tool oil regularly as described in the setup.
  • Storage: Store the impact wrench in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
