Complete guide to choosing your professional impact wrenches

For all types of professions

Whether you're a professional mechanic or a passionate DIY enthusiast, impact wrenches have become essential in any modern workshop.

Our collection brings together the best impact wrenches on the Canadian market, from electric models to high-performance pneumatic impact wrenches, carefully selected for their exceptional power and durability.

Optimal Power and Torque - Electric vs. Pneumatic

Modern impact wrenches offer torques ranging from 300 to over 1500 Nm, enabling them to loosen even the most stubborn bolts. Our air impact wrenches remain the preferred choice for professional workshops thanks to their unbeatable power-to-weight ratio and ability to operate continuously without overheating.

Cordless models now deliver comparable power, with the added benefit of total mobility. The latest generation of lithium-ion batteries guarantees extended runtime for mobile work.

Advanced Electric Impact Wrench Technologies

Each electric impact wrench in our selection incorporates cutting-edge technology. Brushless motors increase tool life by 50% while reducing maintenance.

Electronic control systems automatically adjust torque based on resistance, protecting your fasteners from overtightening. Multiple modes allow you to precisely match power to every task, from tire changes to heavy construction work.

Performance of professional air impact wrenches

Air impact wrenches remain unmatched for heavy-duty workshop use. Their twin hammer mechanism generates powerful impacts with minimal vibration. The absence of a battery means they are 30% lighter than equivalent electric models, significantly reducing fatigue during long sessions.

With a proper compressor of 90 PSI minimum, these impact wrenches provide constant power with no cooldown time.

Ergonomics and compatible accessories

Heavy use of a cordless or pneumatic impact wrench requires impeccable ergonomic design. Our models feature non-slip handles with vibration absorption, reducing fatigue during extended sessions.

All our impact wrenches accept standard 1/2", 3/4" or 1" sockets depending on the model. We also offer a full range of accessories: heavy-duty impact sockets, pressure regulators for pneumatic models, specialized lubricating oils and robust storage cases.

We answer your questions about impact wrenches

Should I use special sockets with my impact wrench?

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.

How long does an impact wrench battery last?

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.

What compressor size do I need for a pneumatic impact wrench?

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.

Can an impact wrench damage bolts or nuts?

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.

What torque (Nm) do I need for my tasks?

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.

Difference between pneumatic and electric impact wrenches?

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.
