Chicago Pneumatic said it has brought to market the “world’s first and only” 1/2-inch pneumatic impact wrench with side-to-side (S2S Technology) forward/reverse functionality located directly above the trigger.
The company said the new wrench, called the CP7749, is “the easiest to use and most convenient one-hand forward/reverse system ever engineered in a pneumatic impact wrench.”
“The CP7749 is perfectly balanced, light at only 4.37 pounds, and packs a punch with 725 ft-lb of true, honest torque,” said Brian Dove, senior global product marketing manager for Chicago Pneumatic. “Combine those features with our patent-pending S2S Technology, and we’ve created a tool that virtually eliminates the wrist and forearm strain common with the use of typical impact wrenches.”
The company explained its S2S Technology allows technicians to effortlessly change between forward and reverse with one hand in any position. The three position regulator in forward provides control and helps to prevent over-tightening, while full power remains constant in reverse to ensure technicians have maximum power to remove fasteners without changing the setting in the forward position.
The CP7749 is also available with a two-inch anvil (CP7749-2) for tire removal applications.
