impact wrenches

Lug nut looseners

Impact wrenches are power tools that deliver high torque through sudden rotational bursts, used for tightening or loosening nuts and bolts.

The hammering mechanism lets them break loose fasteners that would defeat ordinary wrenches.

Mechanics rely on them for lug nuts and automotive work: He grabbed the impact wrench to swap out the tires.

They come in pneumatic, electric, and cordless varieties.
