Chicago Pneumatic has brought to market a 1/2-inch pneumatic impact wrench with side-to-side (S2S Technology) forward/reverse functionality located directly above the trigger. This revolutionary design provides the easiest to use and most convenient one-hand forward/reverse system ever engineered in a pneumatic impact wrench.

“The CP7749 is perfectly balanced, light at only 4.37 pounds, and packs a punch with 725 foot pounds of true, honest torque,” said Brian Dove, senior global product marketing manager for Chicago Pneumatic, which is offering a two-year warranty on the CP7749. “Combine those features with our patent-pending S2S Technology, and we’ve created a tool that virtually eliminates the wrist and forearm strain common with the use of typical impact wrenches.”

Chicago Pneumatic’s exclusive S2S Technology allows technicians to effortlessly change between forward and reverse with one hand in any position. The three-position regulator in forward provides control and helps to prevent over-tightening, while full power remains constant in reverse to ensure technicians have max power to remove fasteners without changing the setting in the forward position.

The CP7749’s lightweight and compact magnesium composite design is only 4.37 pounds and 7.3 inches in length. The tool features a twin hammer clutch to ensure long-term durability and power and a full tease trigger for ultimate control of its 725 ft.-lbs. of torque. The CP7749 is also available with a 2-inch anvil (CP7749-2) for tire removal applications.
