Are you pit stop ready?

Tool and equipment supplier Chicago Pneumatic is always a popular attraction at trade events throughout the UK and Ireland.

Mechanics not only come to see the latest tool innovations from the company, but also to test their skills in the CP Pit Stop Challenge. This sees technicians changing a wheel against the clock and some very impressive times were recently clocked up a Fyfes trade show in Northern Ireland, with many achieving wheel change times in the low 20 seconds.

The competition demonstrates to mechanics the benefits of the Chicago Pneumatic CP8848 Cordless Wrench. This impressive tool offers the performance of an air tool, with the convenience of a cordless device, delivering powerful and efficient bolting, for general mechanics and tyre changing applications.

The CP8848 is a powerful but light ½ inch impact wrench that offers single hand forward and reverse operation and is shock resistant and safe with an ergonomic handle that fits perfectly into the hand. The wrench has a charge gauge and operates from a 20-Volt CP20XP Lithium-Ion 4Ah battery pack.

While mechanics don’t have to achieve Grand Prix type wheel change performance on a daily basis, efficient bolting operations can have a big impact on productivity and Chicago Pneumatic says more and more workshops are now choosing the CP8848 for the combination of freedom and performance it has to offer. It is now available from Chicago Pneumatic stockists across Ireland.
