Sometimes people are stuck in tight spaces, trying to wrench something off with all their might, but it just won’t budge. Sometimes a professional mechanic needs to access hard-to-reach parts of a vehicle but their current tools are too bulky to get the job done efficiently.
When it comes to auto repair tools, professionals and do-it-yourself (DIY) enthusiasts want products that are reliable, efficient, and easy to use. Capri Tools consistently delivers tools that meet these standards.
The Stubby Impact Wrench is a compact yet powerful tool and a must-have in anyone’s collection.
What Is a Stubby Impact Wrench?
Mechanics, auto repair technicians, and DIY enthusiasts use a stubby impact wrench to fasten bolts and nuts. It is called “stubby” because of its short length, typically around four to five inches. Compared to a regular impact wrench, the stubby impact wrench is more maneuverable, which makes it ideal for use in tight and confined spaces, such as the wheels, suspension, and engine components where a regular impact wrench can’t fit.
The Capri Tools Stubby Impact Wrench boasts a maximum torque of 300 foot-pounds, which is impressive for its small size. It features a dual-air motor design that deploys air more efficiently and generates more torque. The ergonomic soft-grip handle makes it comfortable to hold for long hours, and it’s designed for one-hand operation with a large forward-reverse thumb dial.
How Does an Impact Wrench Work?
Impact wrenches deliver high torque output with minimum effort. These power tools come with an electric or air motor that applies short bursts of twisting motion to loosen or tighten bolts. Instead of providing constant rotations at high speeds like an air drill, impact wrenches utilize a hammering action at a low speed to produce high torque output.
The hammering action allows the wrench to quickly apply a significant amount of force to a bolt or nut, making it easy to loosen or tighten even the most stubborn fasteners.
What Are the Features of the Capri Tools Stubby Impact Wrench?
The Capri Tools Stubby Impact Wrench offers multiple features, making it a must-have tool in any mechanic’s arsenal. Take a closer look at some of these features.
Twin Hammer Mechanism
The Capri Tools Stubby Impact Wrench has a twin hammer mechanism that delivers powerful and efficient impacts. Unlike other hammer designs, this mechanism uses two hammers that make one impact per rotation, reducing vibration and increasing durability.
One-hand Operation
With its ergonomic pistol grip and a large forward-reverse thumb dial, the Capri Tools Stubby Impact Wrench is designed for easy one-hand operation. It also has a top support handle that enhances handling and maneuverability. This feature allows people to use their other hand for tasks such as holding magnetic bowls, basic hand tools, a box wrench set, a screwdriver set, or even a torque wrench.
Dual Air Motor
The Twin Power series of the Capri Tools Stubby Impact Wrench features a patented dual-cylinder air motor, which allows it to deploy air more efficiently while generating more torque. This feature ensures that users work on projects faster and with less effort.
Quiet, Energy-saving Design
The Capri Tools Stubby Impact Wrench operates quietly at 87.9 A-weighted decibels, with low air consumption at only 4.2 cubic feet per minute at 90 pounds per square inch, making it an energy-saving tool. This feature allows longer use without draining the air supply.
Compact but Powerful Construction
At just 4.8 inches long, the Stubby Impact Wrench is small enough to maneuver easily in cramped areas. With its compact design, users might not expect it to pack a punch, but it delivers 320 foot-pounds of maximum reverse torque and 300 foot-pounds of forward torque.
The Capri Tools Stubby Impact Wrench has a light and durable composite housing. It operates with low vibration, at only 4.8 meters per second squared, which helps reduce fatigue over long periods of use.
