Chicago Pneumatic ½in Cordless Impact Wrench

The rugged, powerful and durable CP8849 ½in cordless impact wrench delivers a powerful 850+ft lb (1150+ Nm) and features four settings in forward – two of which are shut-off options – and one in reverse, to prevent either over- or under-tightening. The slow mode can be used as a ‘snugging’ tool for a first approach, replicating the subtle pressure and precision of hand-tightening without applying undue force. The fast mode lets you tighten bolts at speed and with absolute confidence, as it will shut off just before maximum torque is reached. The operator can then simply finish off the tightening with a manual torque wrench, safe in the knowledge that the bolt has been tightened correctly. In addition to these two shut-off modes, there’s a 50% of maximum torque and a 100% of maximum torque forward setting, as well as a full power reverse setting. Each operating mode is easily set with a single hand by pressing the selected option of the brushless motor, while a thermo plastic rubber handle guarantees a firm grip and sure handling.

Other unique features include a display at the back of the tool that illuminates the selected mode, along with four front LED lights to enable you to see clearly in dark spaces. There are also shockabsorbing bumpers on each side and on top.

The Chicago Pneumatic CP8849 ½in cordless, brushless impact wrench is available with either a 1in or 2in anvil and comes with two batteries, a mains charger (with 20V 4Ah or 20V 6Ah options) and a carry bag. Prices start at £540. Full details at www.cp.com/en-uk
