Central Pneumatic Impact Wrench

In 1982 Harbor Freight Tools thought there was a need for better quality and more reasonably priced tools for the do it yourself and professional mechanics of the world. That is when they launched the central pneumatic impact wrench and a whole line of tools and accessories.

In addition to the central pneumatic impact wrench they also carry tools such as ratchets, compressors, riveters, grinders and sanders.

Though reasonably priced, all the tools and accessories in the Central Pneumatic line go through a tough testing process in real world situations.

As well as the testing that happens in the product and development phase, all the tools and accessories in the line continue to be tested and go through extensive quality control procedures during the whole manufacturing process.

Here are some of the specifications of the impact wrench:

• 1. 425 ft. lbs. maximum torque

• 2. 25 to 300 ft. lbs. torque range
• 3. 6500 maximum RPM speed
• 4. 9/16″ bolt capacity

The impact wrench comes with a 1 year warranty.  While there are some limitations to the warranty, your impact wrench is guaranteed to be free of defects  in both  materials and workmanship up to one year from the date of the original purchase.

There were many reviews online from people who have bought and used this tool. The vast majority of the reviews were very positive.

Once recurring theme in many of the reviews is that this tool is a great time saver and works very well, especially when you consider how inexpensive it is.

Many people considered that they got a big bang for their buck when they purchased and used this impact wrench.

One of the negative comments I found was simply a complaint that the forward and reverse positions were not adequately marked. As the reviewer noted, that can easily be changed with a Sharpie.

A few of the reviews were from professional mechanics and those were positive. With the high rate of use that this tool will have in it’s lifetime when used by a professional mechanic, getting a positive review really means a lot.

If you are interested in expanding your workshop and you want to get the absolute best value for your money (and who doesn’t?), then this may be a great option for you.

Whether you are a professional mechanic or a shade tree mechanic, there are many uses you will have for this tool. There are many places you can buy this impact wrench online, some will even offer free or low priced shipping.

The central pneumatic impact wrench is a great option if you want to add an impact wrench to your home garage or workshop. It is reasonably priced, great quality, has a great warranty and has many positive reviews from other folks just like you. A good value for the money overall.
