Snap-on Tools has taken the best and made it better with the latest version of its Cordless Impact Wrench (CT4850HO). The 18-volt, 1/2-inch impact wrench features an improved motor, which increases the torque output from 350 foot-pounds to 400 foot-pounds.

Snap-on Tools has taken the best and made it better with the latest version of its Cordless Impact Wrench (CT4850HO). The new “Mother of All Cordless Impact Wrenches” is the ideal tool for technicians seeking a comfortable, powerful and portable wrench for on-the-spot service tasks.

The 18-volt, 1/2-inch impact wrench features an improved motor, which increases the torque output from 350 foot-pounds to 400 foot-pounds. The wrench’s patent-pending true flat anvil allows the socket to easily slide on and off the anvil and its new, reduced-length nose design provides better access to fasteners, enabling technicians to improve efficiency and productivity.

The impact wrench is an ideal tool for a variety of on-the-spot jobs in an array of work environments including engine and tire shops. The wrench’s updated features make it the perfect tool to use on heavy equipment and higher torque applications, as well as in high-use facilities, due to the durability and longevity of the tool.

Built to last, it features an oil seal to keep dirt out and lubrication in, as well as a caged brush motor which triples the brush life.

The new impact wrench also treats users to a patented super-heavy-duty impact mechanism that allows for the quick removal of stubborn fasteners while delivering more power and durability to the head. Heat-treated alloy gears allow for unprecedented power with a maximum of 400 foot-pounds of torque and 3,000 impacts per minute. Additionally, the impact wrench features high-impact, glass-filled nylon housing and a patented airflow system for superior durability and tool life. The tool’s cushion-mounted motor and ergonomic over-molded cushion grip will allow users to reap the benefits of greater control and comfort in those hard-to-reach spaces.

Enhancing the tool’s versatility, the cordless impact wrench includes a comfortable oversized contoured trigger and an easily accessible forward/reverse switch, which gives users the ability to have precise, one-handed control and speed handling on the fly. Snap-on’s patented dual rail slide-on battery pack allows for longer battery terminal life and the VersaVolt Battery System means that this will be the last battery system users will ever need since it can be used with all Snap-on cordless accessories. And with its quick charge time, users won’t take long to finish a job.
