Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum torque of the Durofix G12 Impact Driver?

The Durofix G12 Sub-Compact Impact Driver delivers a maximum torque of 180Nm (133 ft-lbs).

How do I select the different drive modes?

Use the mode selection button, typically located near the trigger or handle, to cycle through the four available intelligent drive modes.

Is this tool suitable for heavy-duty construction sites?

While powerful for its size, it is best suited for demanding fastening tasks in confined spaces. For continuous, extremely heavy-duty applications, a larger impact driver might be more appropriate.

What type of bits does this impact driver use?

It uses standard 1/4" hex drive bits.

Can I use batteries from other brands?

Yes, it is compatible with both Durofix G12 and ACDelco G12 batteries.

What is included in the RI12185-PMG kit?

The RI12185-PMG kit includes the impact driver, one 4.0Ah G12 battery, one charger, and a canvas tool storage bag.

How do I use the reverse auto-stop function?

This function is typically Mode 4. When removing fasteners, it will stop the rotation automatically once the fastener is loose enough, helping to prevent it from being lost.

Troubleshooting

Tool not powering on.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted into the tool. Check if the battery contacts are clean.

Impacts are weak or not engaging.

Verify that you are using the correct drive mode for the task. Ensure the fastener is not seized and that the bit is fully engaged.

Battery not charging.

Check that the charger is plugged in and the battery is correctly seated on the charger. Ensure the battery and charger contacts are clean.

Reduced runtime on battery.

Batteries degrade over time. If the battery is old or has been heavily used, its capacity may be reduced. Ensure the brushless motor is not obstructed, as this can increase power draw.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional power (180Nm) for its sub-compact size.
Excellent maneuverability in tight spaces due to its short length.
Brushless motor ensures longer tool life and better runtime.
Four distinct modes offer great control for different tasks.
Lightweight design reduces user fatigue.

Cons

May not be suitable for extremely heavy-duty, continuous professional use compared to larger impact drivers.
Requires G12 platform batteries, which might be an additional investment if not already owned.
Torque values are based on specific bolt testing and may vary slightly in real-world conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the G12 battery is fully charged using the provided charger.
