How To Choose The Right Impact Wrench For The Job

What an impact wrench is, is essentially a wrench that – through some source of power – delivers an immediate burst of high torque. They work by spinning a “hammer” inside the device, and then suddenly engaging it with the socket. It’s an invaluable tool for simply getting work done quicker and with less manual effort.

They commonly come in two types of design. You can have an “inline” wrench that would best be described as a bulky screwdriver, or you can get a drill-shaped “pistol grip” design. A pistol grip design impact wrench gives you that extra leverage in the way you hold it, which is essential for larger sized sockets.

When it comes to choosing an impact wrench, you have three main options: an air impact wrench, an electric impact wrench with a cord or a cordless impact wrench (battery operated). They each have their individual advantages so don’t just base your decision on price.
