Professional Quality, DC-Powered Impact Wrench
 ✖  |
"It provides the power and reliability of an air impact wrench, but with the convenience of DC power," says Lyndol Hollingsworth, inventor and manufacturer of what he calls "the most exciting new development in professional quality shop tools in years."
Hollingsworth was a Snap-On Tools dealer for 15 years and says the most common complaint he heard from farmers, ranchers, tire service people, and others was the hassle of hauling air compressors û along with generators or gas motors û to the field to power air-driven tools. FARM SHOW featured Hollingsworth's first prototype eight years ago (Vol. 17, No. 6). After years of research and development, he recently put the heavy-duty tools on the market.
The 1 1/2-in. drive impact wrench comes with a rechargeable battery pack that's permanently attached, and an automatic battery charger. Recharge time is two to four hours. It even has an onboard work light for faster, safer nighttime use. Maximum torque of the heavy-duty tool is 45 ft.-lbs. The unit is compact enough to fit inside a 5-gal. canvas bucket or behind the seat of a pickup.
"Fully charged, our DC impact wrench will run for many hours of constant use before it needs recharging," says Hollingsworth. "It can do a full day's work for such jobs as changing tires, drilling holes in wooden fence posts, or putting lag screws in a deck. It sells for $1,299 plus S&H which may seem high at first. However, when you consider the cost of buying and maintaining a compressor, along with generators or gas motors as well as cords and a separate impact wrench, it compares favorably. Also, it doesn't require any maintenance and you don't have to haul anything else with you."
The wrench weighs 8 1/2 lbs. while the battery weighs 21 lbs. Both the wrench and battery come with grab handles for easy handling and portability.
