An air impact wrench is one of the most efficient tools for quickly tightening / unscrewing threaded connections using compressed air. It is with a wrench that car maintenance is associated. With their help, you can easily and quickly tighten and loosen threaded connections.
And if until recently, a pneumatic wrench was mainly used in car services, tire shops and service stations, now this device can be increasingly seen in an ordinary garage. nine0003
Now, the cost of “re-shoeing” of one car 2 times a year is already commensurate with the cost of a pneumatic wrench model for your garage. And if there is more than one car in the family and hands grow from the right place, then buying a wrench can also bring profit. Most importantly - quickly and efficiently, and the person spends less effort on turning the nut.
Consider what types of pneumatic wrenches are, what characteristics to pay attention to, and which ones are unimportant. Let's analyze the main point - how not to miss the compressor. nine0003
Well, let's talk about the basic rules of care, so that the instrument serves faithfully for a long time.
How an impact wrench works is simple:
Through the fitting, the wrench is connected to the compressor or to the pneumatic line. When the tool is triggered, compressed air flows through the hose, rotates the tool rotor, which, in turn, sets the spindle in motion. Everything is right
The reverse function allows you to switch the movement in the opposite direction, i.e. fasteners can not only be wrapped, but unscrewed nuts. nine0019
Fig.1 – Fubag IWC 1300 1/2 impact wrench
Nutrunners can be divided into straight and angle.
Straight nutrunner usually has a pistol shape, it is convenient to hold it in the hands in a horizontal position. The axis of rotation of the cartridge is parallel to the axis of movement of the motor, which provides a high value of torque. nine0019
Fig.2 - Straight pneumatic nutrunner FUBAG IW 720 1/2"
In angle wrenches the axis of rotation of the spindle is perpendicular to the axis of the engine, which allows it to be used when unscrewing a problematic or heavily soiled nut. Such models are especially in demand for work in tight and hard-to-reach places. As a rule, such wrenches have a small torque. nine0019

By type, there are g impact wrenches and non-impact .
Impactless Impact Wrenches are great for fastener assembly and disassembly where little effort is required or for sensitive fasteners that require precision and accuracy. Such a tool will not allow thread breakage. nine0019
Fig.4 - Angle impact wrench impactless Fubag RWC 41 1/4"
Impact wrench delivers a series of frequent tangential impacts. He starts out on long strokes, but moves on to shorter strokes closer to the draw. The maximum impact force is provided precisely at the end, when the final force is needed for greater reliability of the connection.
Fig. 5 - Impact Wrench IW 580 1/2"
An impact wrench is chosen when unscrewing old and rusted connections, when assembling and disassembling large bolted connections.
Important! For impact wrenches, impact sockets (usually black) must be used. ordinary can simply break.
When choosing an impact wrench, it is important to understand the different types of impact mechanisms and how they differ. nine0003
The most common types of nutrunner mechanisms for the garage and car service are twin hammer, Rocking Dog and single ratchet.
The twin hammer mechanism, or "double hammer" provides torque not at once, but in pulses (two strokes per 1 revolution) and high torque at the start. The mechanism, simple in its design, perfectly withstands heavy duty work.
Fig.6 - PNE IWC 1700 impact wrench 1"
Rocking Dog and delivers one powerful blow per revolution and does not develop as much torque as a double hammer, it is good for medium loads. It is easy to recognize it - it has a non-opening front.
Fig.7 - Impact wrench IWS680 with Rocking Dog mechanism
single ratchet 9 system0014 is a simple ratchet. Ideal for small loads. They are equipped with angle wrenches.
Rice. 8 - Angle pneumatic wrench RWC 41 1/4" with mechanism single ratchet
There are several basic parameters that determine the choice of a suitable tool.
The main thing we look for when choosing a pneumatic wrench for a garage:
A) torque
B) landing square
B) air consumption
C) weight
Maximum torque - the main parameter that determines the power of the tool - the force of twisting and loosening. It is measured in newton/meters.
This parameter is the main one for a wrench and the more powerful the tool, the more powerful the compressor will be required for full-fledged work. nine0003
You need to be very careful when choosing a wrench according to this parameter. If the tightening torque is too high, an overstress occurs in the thread, which under load will lead to its rapid destruction. Too weak will cause the threaded connection to “loose”.
The torque range on the market is currently around 30-3000 Nm. If a tool is needed to tighten large-sized fasteners, then wrenches with high torque from one and a half to 3 thousand NM are needed. nine0003
Rice. 9 - Impact wrench IWC 2900 1" ( with torque from 1.5 to 3 thousand NM)
When installing and removing rims in tire fitting, a tool with a torque of at least 100 Nm is popular.
Fig.10 - Straight pneumatic nutrunner FUBAG IW720 1/2" with a torque of at least 100 Nm.
If you need a tool for changing shoes for your car, then an IW 580 torque wrench with a torque of 500-700 NM will be enough. Such a “kid” will easily cope with your horse and will work from a low-capacity compressor. nine0019
Landing square.
The torque must correspond to the size of the spindle, the landing square.
The higher the torque of the tool, the larger the fastener size it works with, the larger the spindle diameter. A half-inch (½”) spindle is used to work with passenger cars, the threads of which do not exceed 18 mm (show the thread diameter live).
With a fastener diameter of up to 25 mm, you need to choose a three-quarter spindle (3/4 seat square). If you plan to tighten larger bolts with threads from 25 to 32mm, then you need an inch spindle, and for threads up to 50mm you will need a spindle with a diameter of one and a half inches. nine0003
Spindle size / | ½" | ¾" | 1 inch - 1 ½ nine0229 | 1 ½" |
Thread size mm | Before 18 | 18-25 | 25-50 | Over 50 |
Torque | 600-1400 | 700-2000 | 2000-4000 | 2000-4000 |
Where applies nine0003 | Passenger transport, tire fitting, car service yes | commercial vehicle yes | Heavy equipment yes |
A very important parameter "tool weight" - it directly affects the performance.
When working with a heavy tool, the hand gets tired very quickly. On the other hand, if the weight is small, then with a significant effort, the head will tighten the nut worse. Optimally - a tool of medium weight. nine0003
For those who use the tool constantly, it makes sense to purchase the Air Impact Wrench in the Composite Body. This is a kind of sandwich made of metal and plastic, and such a case combines the advantages of both materials. Such pneumatic wrenches have an ergonomic non-slip handle, a comfortable body, which also perfectly dampens vibration, unlike a metal one, and a very small weight for such power - only 2 kg. At the same time, it is no less durable than metal, it is not “afraid” of falling onto tiles, concrete, accidental collisions with a car, etc. As well as rubberized handles and comfortable grip, does not slip in the hand. nine0003
Other features to look out for
The reverse function is very useful: it allows you to switch the movement in the opposite direction, i. e. fasteners can not only be twisted, but also unscrewed. On Fubag nutrunners, the reverse is very conveniently located - you can switch it with one hand.
Torque adjuster
A rather expensive option, so it’s worth looking for a tool with it only if adjustment is really needed. Otherwise, tightening, as a rule, occurs "by eye". (Show torque controller with example again IWC 1300 100215). nine0003
Equipment
If necessary, you can buy an impact wrench in Moscow in a case with consumables and related accessories (replaceable heads, extension cord, hex wrench, etc.) 900 100195). This will not only allow you to buy everything you need at one time, saving time, but also at a cost, as a rule, cheaper than if you buy all the tools separately. nine0003
And now about one more parameter, which you definitely need to pay attention to, because. it depends on the compatibility with your compressor (if you already have one) or the choice of compressor (if you only plan to buy it).
Air consumption
In order for a pneumatic wrench to work efficiently and not break, it must be compatible with a source of compressed air - a compressor in terms of technical parameters - this is air flow and working pressure. nine0003
The ideal condition for high-quality work is the option when the compressor working pressure is 2 bar higher than the tool working pressure, and the compressor performance is 20-30% higher than the tool performance. If these conditions are met, your wrench will work flawlessly.
For example, this wrench has a working pressure of 6 atm. and air consumption 226 l/min. For its operation, we need an 8 atm compressor with a capacity of at least 290 l/min. For example this one here:
Fig.11 - Oil piston compressor DC 320/50 CM2.5
By the way, usually a wrench is the most powerful of the tools that are usually present in the garage (paint sprayer, blow gun, inflation gun). Therefore, if you only select a compressor, then you need to be equal to this device. We also recommend watching the video on our channel "How to choose a compressor", where we talk in detail about the rules for selecting a compressor. nine0003
Let me also remind you about air quality.
Below is a table of correspondence between pneumatic wrenches and fubag compressors, which will allow you to instantly select either the right wrench or the right compressor (the time at the intersection is indicated in minutes).

Fubag pneumatic wrench is a mechanism with a motor and moving parts that needs lubrication. Therefore, for its reliable operation, air preparation is necessary - here it is important to remove moisture and enrich the air with a suspension of oil particles. nine0003
Therefore it is necessary:
1. At the outlet of the compressor, install a gearbox (art. 220001), a filter and a lubricator. If you work from a pneumatic system, then it makes sense to install an air preparation unit (show the air preparation unit FRL 1700/3000 - 1/1
), which includes a lubricator (for introducing oil into the air mixture) (show the right side of the unit) and a filter for cleaning mixtures from foreign inclusions. (show the left side of the block that has the scoreboard) nine0003For the garage, a mini lubricator (showing article 1
) can be supplied, which will provide oil supply for moving parts.2. For maximum efficiency, Fubag recommends using a hose with a diameter of at least 10 mm (art. 170100/170101/170102).
Fig.12 - Hose with a diameter of at least 10 mm ( with rapid fittings, oil resistant thermoplastic rubber, 20bar, 6x11mm, 5m )
3. Quality and quantity control of lubricating oil. Use oils only from trusted manufacturers. Remember that too little or too much oil can cause damage to the equipment. The oil should be changed regularly: this will significantly reduce wear on parts and improve heat dissipation.
Fig.13 - Air tool oil 1 liter Fubag VG 46
4. If the wrench works intermittently, the air connector must be lubricated. nine0003
5. you need to periodically blow out the cavity of the wrench from dust.
5. Be sure to turn off the tool after finishing work and during breaks. This will extend its service life.
A pneumatic wrench is a simple, reliable and durable tool that, with proper care, will serve you for many years.
