Innovative new cordless tools that deliver the power and performance of an air tool while providing the mobility of a battery tool have been launched by Chicago Pneumatic. The new impact wrenches, impact driver and drill drivers offer excellent power and battery performance for increased productivity, durability, ease of use and mobility in the workshop.

Flagship product of the series is the powerful and efficient CP8848 ½” impact wrench. The CP8848 has a custom-designed motor and durable gearbox that provides a powerful 1,050 Nm of torque but weighs just 3.1 kg making it a perfect tool for working in the automotive sector. It features a 20-Volt/4Ah CP20XP Lithium-ion battery which provides the operator with more power and a runtime which is twice that of other conventional products. The shock resistant batteries feature triple protection circuitry and individual cell monitoring to prevent overheating and overloading during extended periods of use.

Luis Clement, Chicago Pneumatic Tools Vice-president commented, "For too long, professionals had to make a choice between the power of air tools or the mobility provided by cordless. Our new range of cordless tools eliminates that dilemma and helps them get their job done faster and more comfortably.”

Complementing CP’s new cordless line are the compact CP8828 3/8” impact wrench and the lightweight CP8818 1/4” impact driver. Each of these tools provides superior power and torque while ergonomic handles and strategically placed switches guarantee ease of use.

All CP cordless tool packs come with two batteries and a charger. Extra batteries and chargers are available. In addition, CP offers a range of genuine accessories, such as impact wrench sockets. The new CP cordless tools, batteries and chargers come with a three year limited warranty. These tools are now available from Chicago Pneumatic stockists.
