When deep-reach large fasteners require 1" drive power in a pistol-grip format, the AIRCAT 1870-P-6 1" Super Duty Composite Pistol Grip Impact Wrench with 6" Anvil gives fleet, heavy equipment, agricultural, and industrial maintenance teams a high-output pneumatic tool for extended-access service work. Its 1,900 ft-lbs maximum torque supports large bolt removal and installation on frames, wheel-area hardware, equipment mounts, suspension components, and heavy assemblies, while 2,100 ft-lbs of loosening torque helps break tight or corroded fasteners free before run-down. The 1" x 6" square drive helps position compatible 1" impact sockets onto recessed or hard-to-reach fasteners.
The 1870-P-6 uses AIRCAT's low-weight, impact-resistant composite housing, giving technicians a powerful 1" pistol-grip impact wrench with the added reach of a 6" extended anvil. At 14.52 lbs. and 16.40" long, this model is built for applications where reach and torque matter more than compact tool length. The combined friction-ring and through-hole socket retainers help secure sockets during high-torque work, while the offset side handle design helps keep the operators hand farther from the work area during demanding removal and installation tasks.
Type: Super Duty Composite Pistol Grip Impact Wrench with 6" Anvil | Model: 1870-P-6 | Drive Size: 1" Square Drive x 6" Anvil | Free Speed: 7,500 RPM | Bolt Capacity: 1-1/4" | Impacts Per Minute: 1,900 IPM | Max Torque: 1,900 ft-lbs @ 90 PSI | Loosening Torque: 2,100 ft-lbs | Weight: 14.52 lbs. | Length: 16.40" | Air Consumption: 10.5 CFM | Recommended Hose Size: 1/2" | Air Inlet: 1/2" NPT
Features:
- Provides 1,900 ft-lbs of maximum torque and 2,100 ft-lbs of loosening torque for large fastener removal and installation.
- 6" anvil helps reach recessed wheel hardware, deep frame fasteners, equipment service points, and large fasteners behind surrounding components.
- Unmatched power-to-weight ratio helps technicians handle high-torque 1" drive work without moving to a larger straight-style impact wrench when the pistol-grip format fits the job.
- Low weight impact-resistant housing supports regular use in fleet, equipment, agricultural, and industrial service environments.
- Combined friction-ring and through-hole socket retainers help secure compatible 1" drive impact sockets.
- Offset side handle design helps prevent the operator's hand from getting too close to the work area.
- 1/2" recommended air hose and 1/2" NPT air inlet help maintain airflow for high-output pneumatic impact wrench operation.
Applications:
- Fleet and heavy truck maintenance: Removing and installing suspension hardware, frame fasteners, chassis bolts, wheel-area hardware, mounts, guards, and large service components where extra anvil reach helps socket placement.
- Agricultural equipment service: Working on tractors, implements, service vehicles, frames, hubs, mounts, and large-bolt assemblies that require 1" drive sockets.
- Industrial maintenance and MRO: Running down and removing large fasteners on machinery frames, equipment bases, access plates, fixtures, and plant repair assemblies.
- Heavy equipment repair: Servicing loaders, lifts, construction equipment, shop machinery, support equipment, and large mechanical assemblies where smaller drive tools may be underpowered.
- Bus and large vehicle repair: Handling underbody components, drivetrain supports, suspension assemblies, wheel-area hardware, and deep service-bay fasteners that call for 1" impact capability.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the AIRCAT 1870-P-6 best used for?
A: The AIRCAT 1870-P-6 is best used for 1" drive fastening where large bolts require high torque and extra reach. Common uses include heavy truck service, agricultural equipment repair, industrial maintenance, large vehicle work, and equipment service where a recessed fastener location calls for a 6" anvil. - Q: How is the 1870-P-6 different from the 1870-P?
A: Both models share the same 1,900 ft-lbs maximum torque, 2,100 ft-lbs loosening torque, 7,500 RPM free speed, and 1" drive platform. The 1870-P-6 adds a 6" anvil, increasing overall length to 16.40" and weight to 14.52 lbs. for deeper socket reach. - Q: What is the difference between maximum torque and loosening torque?
A: Maximum torque is the tool's headline output rating, while loosening torque is the breakaway force used to remove tightened or stuck fasteners. AIRCAT lists this model at 1,900 ft-lbs maximum torque and 2,100 ft-lbs loosening torque. - Q: What air hose size should I use with the AIRCAT 1870-P-6?
A: AIRCAT lists a 1/2" recommended hose size and a 1/2" NPT air inlet for this model. Using the recommended hose size helps maintain the airflow needed for high-output 1" drive impact wrench operation. - Q: Can I use smaller drive sockets with this impact wrench?
A: No. The 1870-P-6 has a 1" square drive and should be used with compatible 1" drive impact-rated sockets. Do not use chrome hand sockets or undersized drive adapters for high-torque impact work.
