"We are excited to see that PTEN recognized the game-changing innovation of the Hammerhead Impactool," said Nate Schmid, marketing manager for Vehicle Services with Ingersoll Rand. "We wanted to create a revolutionary product that improved productivity for technicians and made it easier to do their jobs."
The Ingersoll Rand 2015MAX and 2025MAX Hammerhead low-profile Impactools are designed for optimal performance, even in extremely confined spaces, delivering 180 ft.-lb. of torque. The Hammerhead features a conveniently located forward/reverse collar, providing unrestricted access to easily change the direction of the tool in tight spaces, where traditional tools frequently get jammed. Knuckle-saver reactionless torque eliminates kickback, and further protects technicians' hands while working in confined spaces.
