When wheel, suspension, and recessed fasteners require extra reach, the AIRCAT 1000-TH-2 1/2" Composite Impact Wrench with 2" Extended Anvil gives technicians the same strong 1/2" drive platform as the 1000-TH with added socket projection for deeper access. Its 800 ft-lbs maximum torque supports automotive, fleet, and shop maintenance work, while 1,000 ft-lbs of loosening torque helps remove tight or corroded fasteners before run-down. The 8,000 RPM free speed keeps repetitive fastening work moving, and the 2" extended anvil helps reach into wheels, recessed hardware, brackets, and service areas where a standard anvil may not provide enough clearance.
The 1000-TH-2 uses AIRCAT's Super Clutch twin hammer mechanism (an impact design that uses two hammers to deliver balanced blows to the anvil for steady power transfer), giving mechanics reliable impact action for repeated removal and installation tasks. Its 4.75 lb. composite housing helps manage tool weight, while the 9.50" overall length reflects the added reach from the extended anvil. AIRCAT's patented quiet-tuned exhaust reduces operating noise to 86 dBA, and the flip-lever forward/reverse control allows quick direction changes during fastener service.

- Patented easy-operation flip lever allows quick forward and reverse changes during bolt removal and run-down.
Applications:
- Automotive service: Removing and installing wheel hardware, suspension bolts, brake components, brackets, covers, and underbody fasteners where added anvil reach improves access.
- Fleet maintenance: Servicing pickups, vans, trailers, shop vehicles, guards, service panels, and accessory mounts that require 1/2" drive sockets and deeper reach.
- Tire and wheel work: Accessing recessed lug nuts and wheel-area hardware where a standard-length anvil may not position the socket far enough from the tool body.
- Industrial maintenance and MRO: Supporting machinery covers, fixtures, equipment frames, access plates, and plant maintenance jobs where clearance around the fastener is limited.
- DIY garage and restoration work: Useful for experienced home mechanics working on rusted automotive hardware, suspension repairs, and restoration projects with a properly sized air supply.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the benefit of the 2" extended anvil?
A: The 2" extended anvil moves the socket farther away from the tool body, which helps reach recessed lug nuts, wheel hardware, and fasteners located behind brackets or surrounding components. It is useful when access depth is the issue, not just torque. - Q: How is the 1000-TH-2 different from the 1000-TH?
A: Both models share the same 800 ft-lbs maximum torque and 1,000 ft-lbs loosening torque rating. The 1000-TH-2 adds a 2" extended anvil, increasing overall length and improving reach into deeper fastener locations. - Q: What size air hose should I use with this impact wrench?
A: AIRCAT lists a 3/8" recommended hose size for the 1000-TH-2. Using the recommended hose helps maintain air volume so the tool can deliver proper speed and torque under load. - Q: Can I use chrome hand sockets with this tool?
A: No. Use impact-rated 1/2" drive sockets only. Chrome hand sockets are not made for repeated impact loads and can crack or fail when used with a pneumatic impact wrench. - Q: Can the 1000-TH-2 be used for lug nuts?
A: Yes, the extended anvil makes this model useful for many passenger-vehicle and light-truck lug nut removal jobs when the fastener condition and torque requirement are within the tool's capability. Final tightening should always be completed with a calibrated torque wrench.
