The IR231HA combines 25+ years of proven engineering with modern durability features to tackle your toughest automotive and industrial applications.

This 1/2 inch drive air impact wrench generates up to 590 ft-lbs of maximum torque while maintaining precise control through its variable speed trigger and adjustable power regulator. Whether you're removing stubborn lug nuts or working on suspension components, you'll have the right amount of power exactly when you need it.

Key Features and Benefits

Maximum Torque Output - Twin hammer impact mechanism delivers 590 ft-lbs of breakaway torque

Powers through the most stubborn bolts and lug nuts that manual tools can't budge. The twin hammer design provides consistent power delivery with less vibration than single hammer alternatives.

Extended Tool Life - Pressure-fed lubrication system keeps internal components running smoothly

Automatic lubrication reduces wear on critical moving parts, extending tool life significantly compared to gravity-fed systems. Less maintenance downtime means more productive work hours.

Precise Power Control - Variable speed trigger with adjustable power regulator

Start fasteners gently then ramp up to full power, or dial back torque for delicate applications. Perfect control prevents overtightening and cross-threading on expensive components.

Perfect Applications for This Air Impact Wrench

This heavy-duty pneumatic tool excels in professional and DIY environments where reliable power matters:

Automotive tire rotation and wheel removal
Brake system maintenance and repair
Suspension component replacement
General mechanical fastening up to 9/16" bolts
Fleet maintenance and repair operations
Construction and industrial assembly work

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this compare to cordless impact wrenches?

This pneumatic air impact wrench provides consistent power without battery limitations or charging downtime. It delivers higher sustained torque than most cordless models and weighs less since there's no battery pack. However, you'll need an air compressor and hose, making cordless more portable for remote work.

What size air compressor do I need for this impact wrench?

You'll need a compressor that can deliver at least 5 CFM continuously at 90 PSI. A 30+ gallon tank helps maintain consistent pressure during heavy use. Smaller compressors may work but will cycle more frequently and may not maintain full power during extended use.

Can this remove lug nuts from cars and trucks?

Yes, the 590 ft-lbs maximum torque easily handles standard automotive lug nuts. Most car lug nuts are torqued to 80-100 ft-lbs, while truck lug nuts typically require 120-150 ft-lbs. This tool provides ample power for both applications with room to spare for stubborn or corroded fasteners.

Is the Ingersoll Rand brand worth the extra cost?

Ingersoll Rand tools are built for professional use with superior internal components and quality control. The IR231HA has been refined over 25+ years and offers longer service life, better parts availability, and more consistent performance compared to budget alternatives. For regular use, the reliability justifies the investment.

Warranty and Brand Information

Ingersoll Rand provides a one-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This air impact wrench represents over 160 years of industrial tool innovation, with the IR231HA model specifically refined over 25+ years to deliver the reliability professionals demand.
