“SEMA is a key date in our calendar each year, during which we look forward to engaging with our customers and introducing new prospects to the latest innovations that Chicago Pneumatic has to offer the global vehicle service industry,” said Yann Pasco, global business development manager for vehicle service at Chicago Pneumatic. “We’re also delighted to be teaming up with Marc Burnett of MB Motorsports to offer visitors the chance to win an exciting Baja off-road UTV experience in Mexico. All they need to do to enter is visit our stand at SEMA, during which they will discover how the world of off-road motorsports shares our values of people, passion and performance.”
Making its international debut at SEMA 2017 is the CP8849 cordless impact wrench, which features a brushless motor. The CP8849 also offers four selectable forward positions, two shut off ones and one reverse position, a unique element in the market for this type of tools. Weighing in at 6.94 lbs. (3.15 Kg), Chicago Pneumatic’s latest compact and highly efficient cordless impact wrench delivers an impressive 885 ft.lbs. / 1200 Nm of torque. This represents a 12 percent increase in power over the previous model in its class, making it ideal for handling tough nuts and bolts in tire change, general maintenance and MRO applications for light vehicles. The CP8849 features a brushless motor and offers four selectable forward positions plus one reverse position. It is available with 4 or 6 Ah batteries.
Chicago Pneumatic will unveil new additions to its range of CP Cordless Angle Grinders, designed to help users achieve a high-quality finish with minimal effort every time. These are equipped with tight handles that are ergonomically designed to optimize the position of the battery and provide maximum comfort for users. Two new 4.5’’ (115 mm) and 5’’ (125 mm) models will be on display, which offer up to 8500 rpm of grinding power. In addition to ensuring maximum material removal, the grinders have been developed with protection of users firmly in mind. For this reason, they are equipped with an adjustable metal guard and safety level. SEMA 2017 will also see Chicago Pneumatic launch three new highly precise Chicago Pneumatic Vehicle Service composite drills, which are available in ¼’’, ⅜’’ and ½’’ straight and angle models.
