Ask anyone in our industry which company they rate at number one in terms of the quality of their automotive tools, and the chances are that they’ll tell you that it’s Ingersoll Rand. With more than 100 years of experience in producing tools and industrial equipment, including the famous Ingersoll Rand impact wrench, this single New Jersey based manufacturer has revolutionized the automotive tool industry, introducing innovation after innovation to build a reputation that is unmatched to this day.

Over the century of its existence, IR has been at the forefront of developing and inventing within the tool industry. The company has introduced numerous creations into the world including the jack hammer air powered drill, and many others. Over time, IR tools such as impact wrench have reshaped the modern world in the hands of engineers and designers.

Ingersoll Rand impact wrenches were first introduced in 1934 to meet the needs of industries. Speeding up the process of fastening different materials quickly using bolts was an essential part of 1930s construction, and many of the sky scrapers that still dominate New York and other cities were built using these tools for the construction of their steel frames.

The Ingersoll Rand impact wrench is one of the most popular tools produced by this company, and in its many forms it has found its way into every aspect of the modern industrial world. From the race track to the factory floor and the construction site, this simple yet effective device has evolved into the engineer’s equivalent of the Swiss army knife, a tool that serves many purposes beyond its basic design.

The simple design of the Ingersoll Rand impact wrench – an air powered motor that provides enough torque to loosen or fasten the tightest nuts, coupled with its smooth delivery of power means that it is capable of hard jobs as well as being able to provide a delicate touch when needed. Unlike an electrically powered wrench where the motor will continue to twist for as long as current is applied, with an air powered impact wrench from Ingersoll Rand, the drive stops when you need it to, so you can be sure that no more tension than required is put through the bolt. Air powered impact wrenches are also considerably lighter than electric models, meaning that users can work for longer confident that they will not lose control due to fatigue.

Ever since its introduction, the Ingersoll Rand impact wrench has undergone almost constant evolution, with refinements and improvements happening on an almost annual basis. Gradual increases in efficiency and available power have been achieved without making increases to the weight, and to this day, the IR impact wrench remains lightweight enough to use for hours on end without tiring, and get sturdy enough to cope with a lifetime of heavy work.

The range of Ingersoll rand impact wrenches has been extended year on year to ensure that all jobs that need the tool have a version that has been developed especially for it. From super light

tools for general use through to full one inch wrenches designed to provide the power and torque necessary to deal with tightly fitted bolts on trucks, IR provide a wrench for every job.

Over the 70 or so years that the Impact wrench has been in production many other manufacturers have made their own version of the tool, however most users still prefer the original model thanks to its cast iron reliability, high quality, and simplicity.

Despite the higher cost of an Ingersoll Rand impact wrench over other models, when you buy the kind of quality offered by these useful tools offer you can be certain that it will be serving you well years after any lesser tool would have breathed its last bit of compressed air, and given up. Whether you need one of the small 3/8 inch wrenches that are designed for light work or need the full power of a 1 inch model, you will get a fantastic piece of equipment that will not let you down.
