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.

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
