Product Information
Full details
The WORX WX291.9 20V Cordless Impact Driver is designed for DIYers and homeowners needing a lightweight, powerful tool for driving screws and bolts. Its key benefit is delivering high torque (170 Nm) and speed (2600 RPM) in a compact form, making tasks like decking and fencing more effortless. A potential caveat is that it is a tool-only purchase, requiring a separate battery and charger. Key features include adjustable speed and torque, a quick-change chuck, and an LED light for better visibility.

FAQs
Is a battery included with the WORX WX291.9?
No, the WORX WX291.9 is sold as a 'tool only' and requires a separate 20V WORX PowerShare battery and charger.
What type of bits does this impact driver use?
It uses standard 1/4" hex shank bits, which are common for most screws and driving applications.
Can I use this for drilling holes?
While it has variable speed, this is an impact driver designed for driving fasteners. For drilling holes, especially in hard materials, a dedicated drill or hammer drill is generally recommended.
How often does the brushed motor need maintenance?
Brushed motors typically require carbon brush replacement over the tool's lifespan. Regular cleaning and avoiding overuse will prolong its life. Specific maintenance schedules depend on usage intensity.
What is the maximum torque of the WX291.9?
The maximum torque is 170 Newton-meters (N⋅m).
What is the benefit of the impact mechanism?
The impact mechanism delivers rapid rotational blows, which helps to drive fasteners more efficiently and with less twisting force applied to the user's wrist compared to a standard drill.
How do I switch between forward and reverse?
There is a slider switch located above the trigger. Move it left for forward (driving) and right for reverse (loosening).
Troubleshooting
Tool does not power on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the battery contacts on both the tool and battery are clean.
Weak driving power
Verify the battery is adequately charged. Check if the bit is fully inserted into the chuck and if the torque setting is appropriate for the fastener.
Bit is loose in the chuck
Ensure the bit is pushed fully into the 1/4" quick-change chuck until it clicks. If the chuck appears damaged, contact customer support.
LED light not working
Check battery connection. If the light still doesn't illuminate, there may be an internal issue; contact customer support.
