löökmutrikeerajad

Löökmutrikeerajad, often translated as impact wrenches, are power tools designed to deliver high torque for fastening and loosening nuts and bolts. They achieve this through a hammering mechanism that strikes the anvil, which in turn rotates the socket. This impact action allows them to overcome stubborn fasteners that manual wrenches might struggle with, and to work much faster.

Impact wrenches are commonly powered by electricity, either corded or cordless, or by compressed air. Cordless models offer portability, while pneumatic versions are often favored in industrial settings for their durability and power. The choice of power source depends on the application and available resources.

These tools are widely used in automotive repair for tasks like tire changes and engine work, as well as in construction, manufacturing, and heavy machinery maintenance. They come in various sizes and torque capacities, from small, lightweight models for delicate jobs to heavy-duty versions capable of loosening extremely tight fasteners. When selecting an impact wrench, users consider factors such as torque output, speed, impact rate, and the type of socket compatibility. Proper use of impact wrenches involves selecting the correct socket size and ensuring a secure fit to prevent damage to the fastener or the tool.
