Ingersoll Rand 244A-2 Air Impact Wrench | 1/2" Square Drive | 7000 RPM | 500 (ft-lbs) Max Torque | Trigger Start

For wheel service, front-end repairs, and machinery maintenance involving recessed fasteners, the Ingersoll Rand 244A-2 Pistol Grip Air Impact Wrench provides additional reach without sacrificing the fastening performance of the standard 244A. Equipped with a 1/2" square drive and 2" extended anvil, this pneumatic impact wrench allows technicians to position compatible sockets deeper into wheel assemblies and around nearby obstructions. Its 500 ft-lbs (678 Nm) maximum reverse torque delivers the loosening force required for stubborn nuts and bolts, while the 40–350 ft-lbs (54–475 Nm) working torque range provides a reference for routine fastening operations. Operating at 7,000 RPM free speed (rotational speed without resistance), the wrench supports efficient fastener rundown during automotive, truck, and equipment repair work.

The Ingersoll Rand 244A-2 combines a steel hammer case, metal housing, and vane motor with a pressure-feed lubrication system that automatically delivers grease to the impact mechanism. Its adjustable power regulator provides control over fastening output, while the patented one-hand forward/reverse control simplifies changes between tightening and loosening operations. A contoured pistol grip supports secure handling during repetitive service tasks, and the easy-to-service two-piece construction provides access for maintenance. Measuring 9.5" (241 mm) in overall length and weighing 6.3 lbs (2.85 kg), the extended-anvil model offers increased reach compared with the 7.3" standard 244A. The wrench operates at 90 PSI (6.2 bar) with 21 CFM air consumption at load, a 1/4" air inlet, and a 3/8" minimum hose size for compressed-air supply planning.

Features:

• 2" extended anvil increases socket reach for deeper fasteners and fastening locations where the standard-length wrench housing may obstruct access.
• 500 ft-lbs maximum reverse torque provides loosening capability for stubborn automotive, truck, and machinery fasteners.
• 7,000 RPM free speed and 1,300 blows per minute support rapid fastener rundown and repeated rotational impact action.
• Steel hammer case and metal housing help the wrench withstand repeated drops and harsh workshop environments.
• Adjustable power regulator provides greater control over output during different fastening and removal operations.
• Pressure-feed lubrication system automatically greases the impact mechanism to support internal lubrication during operation.
• Patented one-hand forward/reverse control and contoured handle simplify direction changes and provide a secure gripping surface.
• Easy-to-service two-piece construction facilitates access to internal components during routine maintenance and repair.

Tech Tip: To increase tool performance, extend tool life, and lessen repair costs, use it with a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (FRLs)

Applications:

• Automotive tire and wheel service – Reaching recessed wheel nuts and removing compatible wheel fasteners during tire changes and vehicle maintenance.
• Front-end and suspension repairs – Loosening accessible shock absorber mounting hardware, suspension brackets, and chassis fasteners where additional anvil reach is useful.
• Truck and fleet maintenance – Servicing suitably sized threaded fasteners on light trucks, commercial service vehicles, and fleet equipment.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO – Removing recessed bolts from machinery assemblies, mounting brackets, and mechanical equipment during repairs.
• Mechanical workshops and vehicle restoration – Performing component disassembly and general fastening work where surrounding structures limit access for a standard anvil impact wrench.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the difference between the Ingersoll Rand 244A and 244A-2?
  A: The 244A-2 features a 2" extended anvil for reaching deeper fasteners. It measures 9.5" overall and weighs 6.3 lbs, compared with the standard 244A at 7.3" and 6.0 lbs. Both models share the 500 ft-lbs maximum reverse torque rating, 7,000 RPM free speed, and 1/2" square drive.
• Q: Does the extended anvil increase the torque of the 244A-2?
  A: No. The extended anvil improves access rather than increasing the manufacturer's rated torque. Both the 244A and 244A-2 have a maximum reverse torque rating of 500 ft-lbs. Select the extended model when you need additional reach for proper socket engagement.
• Q: What size air compressor does the Ingersoll Rand 244A-2 require?
  A: Ingersoll Rand specifies 21 CFM air consumption at load and 5.4 CFM average consumption, with a 90 PSI operating pressure. The wrench has a 1/4" air inlet and requires a minimum 3/8" hose. Choose a compressor and air supply system that meets the actual operating airflow demand, accounting for duty cycle and pressure losses.
• Q: Can the 244A-2 be used for wheel removal and suspension work?
  A: Yes. Its extended anvil helps position compatible impact sockets around recessed wheel assemblies, suspension brackets, and other obstructions. The tool must be matched to the fastener size and torque requirement. Always complete safety-critical final tightening with a calibrated torque wrench.
• Q: What replacement parts and protective accessories are listed for the 244A-2?
  A: The Ingersoll Rand Vehicle Services Catalog identifies tune-up kit 244-TK2, hammer and anvil kit 231B-THK2, and protective tool boot 244-BOOT for the 244A-2. These are separately identified service parts and accessories, not confirmed included items. Verify current part availability before ordering.
