Frequently Asked Questions

How does this compare to cordless impact wrenches?

This air impact wrench provides consistent power throughout your workday without battery limitations. While cordless models offer portability, this pneumatic tool delivers superior torque output (640 ft-lbs vs. typical 300-400 ft-lbs in cordless) and never needs charging. It's ideal for shops with compressed air systems where maximum power and reliability are priorities.

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

You'll need a compressor rated for at least 24 CFM at 90 PSI. A 60-80 gallon tank with a 5+ HP motor typically provides adequate air supply for continuous use. Smaller compressors may work for intermittent use but could cycle frequently during heavy-duty applications.

Is this suitable for removing lug nuts on trucks and heavy vehicles?

Absolutely. With 640 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque, this impact wrench easily handles truck lug nuts, which typically require 350-500 ft-lbs. The compact design also makes it easier to maneuver around dual wheels and tight spaces compared to larger impact wrenches.

What's included with the 2-year warranty?

The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for 24 months on parts and 12 months on labor. This includes the internal mechanisms, housing, and trigger assembly. Normal wear items and damage from misuse are not covered. Warranty service requires proof of purchase and is handled through authorized Ingersoll Rand service centers.
