Impact Wrenches

Yes — always use impact sockets made of chrome-molybdenum (black finish).
Standard chrome (shiny) sockets can crack or shatter under repeated impact, creating a serious hazard.
Impact sockets are about 30% thicker and designed to absorb heavy shocks without deforming.

With a 5.0Ah battery, expect around 150–200 bolts per charge under normal use. Modern lithium-ion batteries retain about 80% capacity after 500–1000 cycles. Use matching-brand batteries and store at room temperature with partial charge to maximize lifespan.

Minimum: 20-gallon tank at 90 PSI for occasional use. For continuous professional use: 60 gallons or more, with 5–7 CFM at 90 PSI. Always check your tool’s CFM requirements before operating.

Modern impact wrenches feature electronic torque control systems that automatically prevent over-tightening. Always use the correct impact socket size and select the proper mode. For precision work, finish tightening with a calibrated torque wrench.

• Light automotive work / tire changes: 300–500 Nm
• Professional mechanics / trucks: 700–1000 Nm
• Heavy machinery / construction / agriculture: 1200–1500 Nm
  
  Choose a model with adjustable torque for maximum versatility.

Pneumatic impact wrenches offer a better power-to-weight ratio and can run continuously without overheating — ideal for shops with compressors.

Cordless electric impact wrenches provide total mobility and require no compressor, perfect for mobile jobs or home garages.

Both types now deliver up to 1500 Nm of torque.
