Chicago Pneumatic T024351 1/2 in Air Impact Wrench 425 Ft/lb

Product Description

The CHICAGO PNEUMATIC T024351 is a compact, pistol-grip air impact wrench built for general maintenance and mechanical service work. Driven by shop air at 90 psi, it delivers 425 ft/lb of torque at up to 8,400 RPM and 1,020 blows per minute through a 1/2 inch square drive. The 1/4 inch NPTF air inlet requires just 3.7 CFM, making it compatible with most mid-size shop compressors. At 5.1 pounds and 7.5 inches in overall length, the compact frame reduces fatigue during extended fastener work. The friction ring retainer secures impact sockets firmly during high-cycle use.

This wrench is suited for automotive, fleet, and light industrial applications where a mid-range torque tool is needed for wheel service, suspension work, and general assembly or disassembly. The compact tool style fits into tighter working spaces than full-size impact wrenches. Technicians working in shops, service bays, or field environments will find the pistol grip comfortable for sustained use. The 9/16 inch bolt capacity covers a wide range of common fastener sizes encountered in everyday mechanical maintenance.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with pneumatic tooling. Before connecting to an air supply, verify the line pressure is regulated to 90 psi and that the air line is equipped with an in-line oiler and moisture separator to protect internal components. Always depressurize the air line before changing sockets or performing tool maintenance. Use only impact-rated sockets with this tool — standard chrome sockets are not designed for impact use and may fracture under load.
