Frequently Asked Questions
How does this compare to other 1/2 inch air impact wrenches?
The 231HA-2 delivers superior torque output at 600 ft-lbs compared to many competitors in the 400-500 range. The 2-inch extended anvil and included flip socket provide functionality that typically requires separate purchases with other brands. Plus, Ingersoll Rand's TwinHammer Plus mechanism runs quieter and lasts longer than standard twin-hammer designs.
What air compressor size do I need for this impact wrench?
You'll need a compressor that can deliver at least 22 CFM at 90 PSI for continuous heavy-duty use. For intermittent use, a smaller compressor with a decent tank size will work, but expect some recovery time between demanding tasks.
Can this handle truck lug nuts and heavy equipment bolts?
Absolutely. With 600 ft-lbs of breakaway torque, this air impact wrench easily handles truck lug nuts (typically requiring 400-500 ft-lbs) and most heavy equipment applications. The extended anvil is particularly useful for trucks with deep wheel wells.
Is the flip socket compatible with other impact wrenches?
Yes, the included flip socket has a standard 1/2-inch drive that works with any 1/2-inch impact wrench or ratchet. The dual hex design (3/4" and 13/16") covers the most common automotive lug nut sizes.
