Matco Tools powers up with new product launches

March 28, 2012
12V lithium-ion cordless tools and ratcheting wrench lines bring power and accessibility.

It’s important for technicians to have powerful tools that are designed for tight automotive applications — which is why the company is kicking off spring with the launch of the 12V Infinium cordless and redesigned ratcheting wrench lines. The new tools feature a small and efficient design without sacrificing power. The result is innovative products ready for even the smallest work spaces.

For maximum power in a compact design, Matco Tools has launched the 12V Infinium cordless line. The 12V Infinium lineup provides all the advantages of lithium ion, including no battery memory effect, the convenience of cordless, and consistent power and performance. The tools deliver powerful results with monster torque thanks to a 2-speed transmission that provides more torque at lower RPMs. Plus, the entire platform can be charged on one universal charger that powers more than 10 tools.

The new line includes a cordless screwdriver, drill driver, impact wrench, 1/4" air ratchet, 12V LED flashlight and a cordless mini polisher/fine sander.

In an effort to continue minimizing the frustration of working in cramped spaces, Matco also reengineered their popular ratcheting wrenches. The wrenches now include a 72-teeth line and the only 90-teeth line on the automotive market, both guaranteed to get in and out of tight spaces faster.

The improved ratcheting wrench design includes a 15-degree Knuckle Offset and best-in-class swing arc for enhanced performance that saves knuckles and grants easy access to small, confined spaces.

The 7 and 9 Series are also constructed with higher carbon alloy steel for long-lasting quality and a ratcheting mechanism that’s twice as strong as ANSI standards.

“At Matco Tools, we strive to bring advancements into our product development process to make tools smarter, stronger and more efficient,” said John Green, vice president of marketing for Matco Tools. “The 12V cordless tool and ratcheting wrench lines are prime examples of Matco’s dedication to providing solutions that meet the technician’s needs.”

The 12V cordless and ratcheting wrench lines are available from Matco Tools distributors. For more information on the product launches, or to locate a distributor in your area, call 1-866-289-8665 or visit www.matcotools.com.
