Cleco CWM-500P Pneumatic Impact Wrench | CWM Metal Housing Series | 9,000 RPM | 1,200 BPM | 1/2" Pin Anvil Drive | 850 (ft-lbs) Max Torque

Built for fastening and removal work in truck service, equipment repair, fabrication, and plant maintenance, the Cleco CWM-500P gives buyers a compact metal-housing impact wrench with 850 ft-lbs max applied torque and 1,200 ft-lbs max breakaway torque for loosening stubborn fasteners that smaller 1/2" tools may struggle to move. Its 1/2" pin anvil drive helps retain impact sockets more securely than a standard friction ring in repetitive or elevated work, while the 9,000 RPM free speed supports fast rundown before final tightening.

The CWM Metal Housing Series uses a twin hammer impact mechanism, meaning two hammers strike the anvil each rotation to deliver balanced impact energy with strong torque transfer. A durable all-metal housing, variable-speed trigger, and large forward/reverse lever make the CWM-500P a practical choice where tools may be handled with gloves, moved between bays, or used in tougher shop environments.

Applications:

• Automotive and fleet service — removing and tightening larger wheel, suspension, and chassis fasteners where a 1/2" pin anvil impact wrench is preferred.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — breaking loose rusted or over-torqued bolts on pumps, conveyors, guards, brackets, and plant equipment.
• Fabrication and repair shops — running down nuts and bolts during steel assembly, fixture work, equipment repair, and general fastening tasks.
• Construction equipment service — supporting field repairs on skid steers, lifts, trailers, compressors, and other jobsite support equipment.
• Serious garage and restoration work — tackling stubborn fasteners on older vehicles, farm equipment, and home shop projects when adequate compressed air is available.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the difference between max applied torque and breakaway torque?
  A: Max applied torque is the upper torque output used for fastening. Breakaway torque is the loosening force available in reverse for removing stuck or corroded fasteners.
• Q: What does a pin anvil do?
  A: A pin anvil uses a retaining pin or pin-hole style socket retention method to help keep the socket attached to the drive. It is commonly selected when the socket must stay secured during repeated use or when working in positions where dropped sockets are a concern.
• Q: What air hose size should be used with the CWM-500P?
  A: Cleco lists a 3/8" minimum hose I.D. for this model. Using an undersized hose can restrict airflow and reduce impact performance.
• Q: Is this impact wrench suitable for everyday automotive work?
  A: Yes, it can be used for automotive and fleet service when the job calls for a powerful 1/2" pneumatic impact wrench. For lighter work or small fasteners, use controlled trigger input and proper torque verification to avoid over-tightening.
• Q: Does this tool include sockets?
  A: The provided product data does not list sockets or accessories as included. Select compatible 1/2" drive impact-rated sockets separately for your fastener sizes.
