6 Reasons Why Mechanic Needs An Air Impact Wrench

date
2024/01/08


The air impact wrench is a powerful pneumatic tool that mechanics widely use in automotive repair shops. It delivers high torque output in short bursts to loosen or tighten stubborn bolts and nuts quickly, allowing users to expedite automotive repair and maintenance jobs. Why every mechanic needs an air impact wrench in their toolbox?

 

How an Impact Wrench Works

 

The impact wrench uses compressed air as its power source. Air from the compressor enters the tool through the inlet and flows into the hammer mechanism. This mechanism converts the constant air pressure into rapid rotational hammering motion. The hammering blows repeatedly strike the anvil, which in turn rotates the socket and creates tremendous torque output.

 

Most impact wrenches employ a twin hammer design. As air flows into the tool, it pushes a piston that contains two hammers. These hammers alternately strike the anvil as the piston moves back and forth.  This pulse of torque can exert over 1000 ft-lbs on the socket, allowing it to break loose over-tightened fasteners with ease. The hammering action works far better than simple rotational force at loosening stuck bolts.

 

Saving Time and Effort

 

One of the biggest advantages of using an air impact wrench is the huge time savings compared to using ordinary tools. Tasks like loosening stubborn bolts, changing tires, and removing parts can be done in a fraction of the time with an impact wrench. The high torque these tools provide allows mechanics to zip through jobs much faster and with less physical exertion. This increased efficiency gets vehicles serviced quicker and makes the workday less tiring.

 


Changing Tires Quickly

 

One of the most frequent tasks for any mechanic is swapping out tires during rotations or replacements. Using an air impact wrench with the right socket adapter makes quick work of removing and installing lug nuts. Technicians can speed through tire changes in a fraction of the time versus using a traditional lug wrench or pneumatic torque stick. Fast tire service keeps customers happy and keeps the shop running on schedule.

 

One tool for most fastener applications.

 

With the range of pneumatic impact wrench power available, technicians can use a single tool to handle everything from small interior screws up to heavy duty suspension components.

 

Beyond cars, impact wrenches can be used for maintenance tasks on tractors, trucks, boats, lawnmowers, ATVs and heavy equipment. The wide range of compatible accessories like sockets and extensions means an air impact wrench can service nuts, bolts, screws and fittings of most sizes.

 

Accessing Tight Spaces

 

Many components on modern vehicles are packed into tight spaces, making them difficult to access with standard tools. An air impact wrench has a compact inline design that allows it to fit into confined areas. The shallow profile gets onto fasteners that would otherwise require taking apart surrounding parts just to access them. Impact wrenches can reach stuck fasteners on engines, inside wheel wells, behind bumpers, and other cramped areas.

 

Safer to use in hazardous conditions

 

Electric power tools can create sparks and expose technicians to shock hazards when used around flammable chemicals or in wet conditions. Pneumatic impact wrenches are intrinsically safe, making them ideal for safety-critical applications like spraying brake cleaner during caliper servicing.

 

Cost Effective

 

Though air impact wrenches represent an upfront investment, they pay off through fueling increased productivity and capability. The time savings lead to ability to complete more billable jobs per day. Impact wrenches also simplify tasks that would otherwise require multiple tools. The durability of quality air tools ensures years of reliable service.
