The AIRCAT 1/2” Impact Wrench, No. 1295-XL, has an overall length of 6.6" and is more than 1" shorter than other impacts in its class, allowing improved access to tight work areas. The impact's front bushing-hammer cage has a protected-design built-in flange to reduce vibration to 4.25 m/sec2 while increasing the tool's life. The protected-design rear motor support eliminates lateral movement of the rotor. The patented two-stage trigger provides 240 ft-lbs of torque at stage one and maximum loosening torque when fully engaged at stage two. The patented “one click” forward-reverse button provides instant change of direction on-the-fly. The internal silencing reduces the noise level to 87 dBA.
