KENOSHA,
WI - With the versatile control, high torque and
lightweight feel of the new Snap-on IMC500 ½” Square
Drive Impact Wrench, technicians can fasten and remove lug nuts,
bolts and screws more accurately, quickly and comfortably than
ever before.
The unit’s
patented muffler bypass system allows users to run the impact
wrench in either quiet or open mode. In the quiet, or closed,
mode the exhaust runs through the handle, which diminishes the
sound and provides quieter operation. When the job requires more
power, technicians can bypass the muffler and add 25 ft. lbs.
of forward torque and 20 ft. lbs. of reverse torque. At full power,
the IMC500 ½” Square Drive Impact Wrench achieves
a total of 525 ft. lbs. of forward torque and 620 ft. lbs. of
reverse torque.
The unit’s
lightweight structure is designed to reduce user fatigue and allow
technicians to perform jobs with little restraint. The IMC500
½” Square Drive Impact Wrench weighs 4.4 pounds and
is eight-percent lighter than competitive models. Aluminum front
housing and protective composite rear housing protect the unit’s
internal motor and provide exceptional balance and durability.
The wrench’s
ergonomic design helps technicians perform tasks efficiently by
providing maximum comfort. A ribbed and textured handle offers
superior grip, user control and insulates against extreme heat
and vibration. A contoured trigger depresses smoothly and allows
users to control the precise amount of power and speed delivered
by the unit’s twin-hammer impact mechanism.
A three-position
regulator offers adjustable power settings for multiple applications
and is recessed to prevent an accidental change in setting. The
unit’s toggle-style forward and reverse selector and 360-degree
rotating Inlet Swivel are easy to use and can be operated with
one hand.
The IMC500
½” Square Drive Impact Wrench is ideally suited for
a variety of on-the-spot maintenance services for vehicles including
cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, snowmobiles and recreational
vehicles. Customers can find out more about this product by contacting
