Demonstrating it crucial understanding of the importance of a good power to weight ration when it comes to impact wrenches, Chicago Pneumatic is now offering three prime examples for a wide variety of applications.

The recently launched CP7748 ½” impact wrench weighs in at just 2 kg yet delivers 1,300 Nm of power in forward and reverse. With more power than its predecessor it delivers improved efficiency and reduced operation time. At the heart of the design is an innovative forward/reverse and power control ring system, this is more ergonomic and easier to use single handed, by turning the ring from anywhere around the tool. The tool also has two different settings in the forward position (40% of maximum power and full power) and a full power setting in reverse. Thanks to its improved compact design it can be used comfortably in confined spaces and is just 175mm in length.

The CP7737 angle impact wrench features compact design, low weight, high power and excellent durability. The user-friendly design delivers maximum torque in confined areas found in engine compartments and under the vehicle. This ½” angle impact wrench is a powerful tool, capable of providing mechanics with 300Nm of maximum torque in reverse. It is designed with a direct drive system and a jumbo hammer mechanism with steel motor to provide the operator with a durable and efficient tool, enabling mechanics to increase their productivity.

The CP7762 is the first ‘True’ stubby wrench. This Ultra lightweight ¾” Impact Wrench measures just 158.7mm in length and weighs a mere 3.0 kg. It is equipped with a rugged steel motor that delivers a powerful 1420 Nm in reverse for high productivity. Featuring a twin hammer action and an aluminium housing, the tool can deliver optimum performance in the toughest operating environment. The tool is well-balanced and features an ergonomic P-handle with full teasing trigger. The controls are designed and positioned for ease of use and include a one hand forward and reverse speed regulator button as well as a side-to-side forward and reverse system.
