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 long is the tool?

The tool measures just 127mm (5 inches) in length, making it highly compact.

What does the 4-Mode Intelligent Drive Control do?

It allows you to select different speed and torque settings (and an auto-stop function in reverse) to optimize performance and control for various fastening tasks, from delicate to heavy-duty.

Is this tool suitable for professional use?

Yes, its power, compact size, and brushless motor make it suitable for many professional applications, especially where access is limited. However, for continuous, extremely heavy-duty industrial use, a larger tool might be considered.

What battery platform does it use?

It uses the 12V Durofix & ACDelco G12 battery platform.

What is included in the kit?

This kit typically includes the Durofix G12 Impact Driver, two 2.5Ah batteries, a charger, and a canvas tool storage bag.

Can I use any 3/8" socket with this driver?

Yes, you can use standard 3/8" square drive sockets and adapters. Ensure the socket is rated for impact use if performing heavy-duty tasks.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not power on.

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

Reduced power or speed.

The battery may be low on charge; try a fully charged battery. Check the work area for obstructions or ensure the bit/socket is not binding.

Impacts are not engaging.

Verify you are using the correct drive mode for the application. Ensure the fastener is properly seated and not cross-threaded. The tool may require more torque than it can deliver for that specific fastener if it's excessively seized.

Battery not charging.

Ensure the charger is plugged into a working power outlet. Clean the battery and charger contacts. Try a different G12 battery with the charger, or a different G12 charger with the battery, to identify the faulty component.
