In Focus: King Tony America M7 1/2" Drive Air Impact Wrench

Aug. 4, 2015

This tool features 700 ft/lbs of max reverse torque and weighs only 3 lbs.

Continuing to expand on the mini-impact wrench category that Mighty-Seven (M7) created, the first composite body, twin-hammer mini was added in 2014. The King Tony America 1/2" Drive Air Impact Wrench, No. NC-4232Q, features 700 ft/lbs of max reverse torque, weighs only 3 lbs, and is surprisingly quiet at only 83 dBA. This unit is small enough to fit in tight areas, comfortably light and quiet enough to limit hearing loss. Other features include a front grease port, and a forward/reverse lever that can be modified for left- or right-handed users. This tool comes with the company's three-year limited warranty.

Application

This tool is well-suited for lower vehicle/chassis maintenance in tight areas (shock mounts and bumper mounts). The NC-4232Q also works well handling lug nuts and for engine compartment maintenance in tight spaces.

According to the company, the NC-4232Q:

Features a best-in-class power-to-weight ratio.

Features and benefits
