Impact Wrench

Using a cordless impact wrench is straightforward. First, ensure that the battery is fully charged and inserted correctly. Then, select the appropriate impact socket for your task and attach it to the wrench. Adjust the torque setting if needed, and hold the wrench firmly against the nut or bolt you wish to loosen or tighten. Press the trigger to start the wrench, and apply steady pressure until the job is done. Always wear protective gear and follow safety guidelines when using power tools.

While both impact drivers and impact wrenches are designed to provide high torque, they serve different purposes. Impact drivers are typically used for driving screws and fasteners, while impact wrenches are specialized for loosening and tightening nuts and bolts. Although some impact drivers may have enough torque to handle certain tasks, an impact wrench is generally more suitable for heavy-duty applications due to its higher torque output and specific design.

The ideal torque for an impact wrench depends on the specific task at hand. For general automotive repairs and maintenance, a torque range of 100-300 ft-lbs (foot-pounds) is often sufficient. However, for heavier-duty applications such as construction or industrial work, you may need an impact wrench with a higher torque output, ranging from 300 ft-lbs up to 1000 ft-lbs or more. Always check the manufacturer's specifications and recommendations for your particular impact wrench model to ensure optimal performance.
