MAKITA TW0350 110v 1/2" DR Impact Wrench

Impact Wrenches are used for undoing and tightening bolts when no other tool can provide enough force. Therefore, you need to choose an Impact Driver which has the right level of power for the work it will be doing. This is measured by torque, which is then measured in Newton-metres (Nm). The higher the torque, the more power you have at your disposal.

Impact Wrenches can use extra power to undo particularly troublesome nuts. This is known as ‘Nut-busting torque’ and the machine will apply it automatically. The more power a machine has, the more torque it can generate. As an example, some of the 12v Impact Wrenches in our range generate a Nut-busting torque of 290 Nm but newer tools can produce up to 2,050 Nm of Nut-busting torque.

Impact Wrenches are extremely powerful, so be aware of the risks of bolts shearing off or material becoming damaged during use.

Of course, you also need to make sure that the tool you’re purchasing is right for your work site; many of our Impact Wrenches are sold in both 110v and 240v versions.
