Offering all the power you need to handle the hardest jobs while remaining lightweight enough for single handed use and compact enough to be convenient, ¾ inch impact wrenches offer the best of both worlds for the workshop that deals with a complete range of vehicles.
While a ¾ inch impact wrench cannot offer the same kind of massive power as its bigger 1 inch brother, they are still well suited to heavy duty jobs on trucks and farm vehicles – although they may struggle with the tightest nuts.
The big advantage of a ¾ inch impact wrench over a larger model is that it is a much more flexible tool. If you want to be able to tackle jobs on smaller vehicles with confidence as well as being able to turn your hand to a bigger job as and when you need to, then these are a great compromise.
Ingersoll Rand, the leading air tools manufacturer offer a comprehensive range of different air powered ¾ inch impact wrenches in a variety of different power levels, from light weight single hand held tools that offer 750 lb/ft torque through to much more powerful versions that are able to generate 1250 lb/ft – enough to handle pretty much any job that you need to take on.
While Ingersoll Rand tools may be a lot more expensive at times than comparable models from other manufacturers, the higher standard of construction and reliability of the market leader means that you really do get what you pay for, and in this case, it is genuine quality. The lead in model in Ingersoll Rand’s range of ¾ inch impact wrenches is the IR 262. This comes finished in heavy duty plastic and has a comfortable grip to ensure that you can keep working for a long period without getting tired. With 750lb/ft on hand, the IR 262 will be unable to handle the toughest jobs you throw at it, but it will be perfectly capable of serving you well on day to day tasks such as maintenance. It integrates a number of good features that are often only seen on high end models including an exhaust through the handle away from the working area, and a rotational inlet for compressed air to ensure that the pipe does not get snagged when you are working.
