Chicago Pneumatic Launches New Air Tools for Maximum Efficiency in the Workshop
Melissa Larson | December 8, 2014
Chicago Pneumatic has launched three powerful new air tools that enable vehicle service professionals to increase productivity in the workshop. The reliable and durable CP7748TL and CP7776 impact wrenches are comfortable and easy to use, while the ultra-compact new generation CP7749 delivers the best power-to-weight ratio in its class, providing maximum efficiency in virtually any garage.
The robust CP7748TL ½ inch composite Torque Limited impact wrench is ideal for passenger vehicles, light truck, and SUV tire changing applications. The torque limited function enables efficient torque level control for each tire-change job, and enables the user to quickly and easily snug bolts without over tightening and damaging studs. The operator must then use a torque wrench to torque bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
The CP7748TL is designed to provide a limited amount of torque in the forward position (approximately 60 ft-lbs. [90 Nm] in one second of operation) and boasts 925 ft-lbs. (1250 Nm) of maximum torque in reverse for removing weathered and stubborn lug nuts. The forward/reverse switch is smooth and easy to use with only one setting position in both directions. The tool also features a contoured grip handle with a thermoplastic rubber (TPR) grip to provide better comfort to the operator.
The new CP7776 1 inch metal pneumatic impact wrench offers high power and durability for general mechanics and tire changing on heavy vehicles and trucks. Designed in response to customer demand for a robust wrench with an easy-to-hold pistol-style handle, the cost-effective CP7776 delivers high power, with 1770 ft-lbs. (2400 Nm) of torque in reverse. The ergonomic forward/reverse regulator with three position power settings and a full teasing trigger mean the wrench is exceptionally user-friendly. Additional features including a TPR grip, a rotating side handle, and an angled-down exhaust that blows air away from the operator also provide greater comfort.
