18V Impact Wrench
Impact wrenches have come a long way. This tool used to be the exclusives to professional tradesmen like carpenters, mechanics, masons and assembly line workers. Today, any regular DIY-er has to have the tool in his car trunk or in his tool box.There are three basic types of impact wrenches according to the power used: air or pneumatic; electrical and battery operated. An air impact wrench runs on air compressor. An electric impact wrench runs on AC or alternating current which could either be 110 volts or 220 volts. A battery operated impact wrench is what you call cordless.
An 18 v impact wrench may not have the powerful torque of an air impact wrench. However this type of impact wrench has more than enough torque for light fastening jobs. Since it is also cordless, you can virtually access tight and angled spaces that a traditional air impact wrench can’t.
The best in power tools cordless technology is Makita. Its top # 1 cordless product is Makita BTD142HW 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Impact Driver Kit. Since an 18 volt cannot be plugged in a cigarette lighter (inside the car) this package includes an extra lithium battery.
Another 18v impact wrench that is a high-ender is the Bosch 21618 18V Impactor™ ½ inch with a high torque impact wrench. The 18 v impact wrench can deliver as much as 350 fl.lbs. of torque that is suitable for light jobs, touch applications and for quick and easy jobs around the house. It has a spring loaded mechanism and an ergonomic soft grip that would make using the tool less tiring. Speed can be adjusted by a trigger that is completely in your control.
