In operation, a rotating mass (the hammer) is accelerated by the motor, storing energy, then suddenly connected to the output shaft (the anvil), creating a high-torque impact.
] Impact wrenches are one of the most commonly used air tools, and are found in virtually every mechanic's shop. Impact wrenches are available in every standard socket wrench drive size, from small 1/4" drive tools for small assembly and disassembly, up to 3.5" and larger square drives for major construction. Impact wrenches are widely used in many industries, such as automotive repair, heavy equipment maintenance, product assembly (often called "pulse tools" and designed for precise torque output), major construction projects, and any other instance where a high torque output is needed. For more information, please visit impact wrench (also known as an air wrench, air gun, rattle gun, torque gun) is a socket wrench power tool designed to deliver high torque output with minimal exertion by the user, by storing energy in a rotating mass, then delivering it suddenly to the output shaft.Ĭompressed air is the most common power source, although electric or hydraulic power is also used, with cordless electric devices becoming increasingly popular in recent times.
Mac Tools has been a part of Stanley Black & Decker since 1980. The strong sales force of Mac Tools Distributors and the same entrepreneurial business model that drives us today has powered Mac Tools since 1938.
From hand tools, tool boxes and specialty items to a full range of power tools, electronics and shop equipment, Mac Tools offers the solutions that meet professional’s ever changing needs to get the job done.
Mac Tools is a leader in professional automotive and industrial tools and solutions. The four wrenches are now available via Mac Tools distributors and franchisees. A feathered throttle offers maximum operator control over the power output.
In addition, a one-hand power adjustment and forward/reverse system enables the technician a free hand to hold fasteners and complete his job easier and more efficiently. A soft rubber grip delivers comfort during prolonged use. The impacts include a handle forward design for superior comfort and balance that reduces operator fatigue.
The AWP Titanium Series addresses this need in both design and function. The impact wrenches also feature a titanium exhaust deflector for increased durability, an integrated muffler for reduced noise and a 360 degree rotation air inlet providing the technicians ease of movement while operating the tool.īeyond power and torque, technicians and mechanics stress ergonomics when operating tools on a daily basis. This lower weight and higher break away torque results in the highest “power-to-weight-ratio” in the marketplace. An innovative motor construction reduces the number of parts needed and ultimately lowers the weight of the tool. A rubber bumper provides anti-marring protection and a side fed air motor provides an unobstructed path for air flow resulting in more power in high-torque applications such as changing tires, crankshaft bolts and engine tear down. The titanium has superior strength and is more durable than composite and aluminum parts and lower weight than other metals. The AWP Impact Wrenches are constructed with titanium front housing for reduced weight and maximum durability in the garage. The AWP Titanium Series will change the way technicians view impacts.” “Professionals require impacts that are not only powerful, but live up to the rigors of the shop. “The new AWP Titanium Series Impact Wrenches are the most durable and powerful family of impact tools we’ve ever designed and built,” said Jeff Connell, Mac Tools product manager, power tools. These Mac Tools exclusive impact wrenches were thoroughly tested and approved by professional technicians at truck, tire, diesel and independent shops, as well as dealerships servicing heavy equipment. The new AWP Titanium Series includes a 3/8 inch drive impact (AWP038), 1/2 inch drive compact (AWPO50C), 1/2 inch drive industrial impact ( AWP050), and 3/4 inch drive heavy-duty impact (AWP075). The new series of auto tools represents Mac Tools’ commitment to automotive tool quality and is their most durable and powerful impact wrench ever made. Columbus, Ohio (May 15, 2012) – Mac Tools, a leading manufacturer of auto repair tools and equipment, recently announced the launch of four impact wrenches in the new AWP Titanium Series.
