Application

Technicians can use the W7152 1/2" Impact Wrench to loosen and tighten a variety of fasteners.

Selling points

Offers 1,500 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque, 1,000 ft-lbs of max torque and four settings to maximize efficiency.
This tool is 8.1" long, and the short length helps technicians maneuver in hard-to-reach areas.
Features a 360 degree shadowless task light for improved visibility.
The tool has patented steel reinforced frame and an optimized internal mechanism to provide power without adding extra weight to the tool.

Features and benefits

Max power delivers up to 1,000 ft-lbs of max torque when tightening bolts on engine transmissions, control arms or brake calipers.
Half power is equivalent to a 3/8" impact wrench- it is optomized for use with torque sticks, extensions and adapters for applications such as changing tires, suspension bolts, subframe bolts and exhaust work.
Wrench tight allows technicians to pre-tighten bolts to 35 to 110 ft-lbs of torque. In this setting, the tool automatically shuts off so bolts are not over-torqued.
The hand tight setting turns slowly, creating a snug fit to start a lug bolt to hold a wheel in place. When the tool reaches the point of impact, it shuts off to avoid over-torqued fasteners.

Origin

Ingersoll Rand developed this impact to help technicians increase visibility and access while in the shop and under the hood. This tool is available with a 2" extended anvil for use on tires and hard-to-access applications.

Manufacturing specs

This tool features a chemical-resistant housing, 1/2" square drive with four power control settings and a 20V battery compatible with the company's IQV20 series battery system. Each setting operates at maximum reverse torque so technicians don't need to switch settings to remove a stubborn fastener. The tool is equipped with a COB LED task light that provides a 360 degree ring of light to the area that needs servicing.

Storage and display

The W7152 is available in several configurations. The most popular kit, the W715-K22, includes the W7152 bare tool, two batteries, one battery charger and a tool bag. Ingersoll Rand recommends carrying three tools on the truck- "One to show and two to go," the company says. The product comes in an individual box that features the product photo, model number and key features and is ready for display.
