Cordless impact gun from Laser Tools 03 October 2016

UK-based Laser Tools has introduced a new high powered, cordless impact gun (part number 6314) featuring hammer action and forward reverse control.

As used by the Laser Tools racing team in the British Touring Car Championship, part number 6314 is a compact size and low weight, which provides more control and manoeuvrability. It can also deliver 2,400 blows per minute with 750Nm of torque thanks to lithium-ion batteries and thelatest in motor design technology. An electronic trigger switch also enables the operator to continuously vary the speed of rotation.

The gun is ideal for professional workshop use, particularly for use on high torque fixings such as wheel hub nuts and crankshaft vibration damper fixing bolts – where the use of high tightening torques and thread lock glues can often make removal very difficult.

Supplied in a sturdy case, the set includes two rechargeable 18V lithium batteries and a 3 Amp charger that features rate of charge indicators and a 1 hour fast charge function. The charger reverts to trickle charge mode when the battery is fully charged. Both charger and batteries are available as spare parts.
