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

For vehicle service technicians handling stubborn bolts, wheel fasteners, and mechanical repairs, the Ingersoll Rand 244A Pistol Grip Air Impact Wrench delivers dependable pneumatic fastening power with a durable metal construction. Featuring a 1/2" square drive with hog-ring socket retention, this wrench produces 500 ft-lbs (678 Nm) of maximum reverse torque for loosening tight fasteners on automobiles, light trucks, and mechanical equipment. Its 40–350 ft-lbs (54–475 Nm) working torque range covers common vehicle servicing tasks, while the 7,000 RPM free speed (socket rotation speed without resistance) supports efficient nut and bolt rundown. The tool's power regulator provides additional control over output, allowing operators to adapt its fastening action to different service requirements.

The Ingersoll Rand 244A combines a steel hammer case, metal housing, and vane motor to withstand the repeated handling and impact loads encountered in maintenance workshops. Its pressure-feed lubrication system automatically delivers grease to the impact mechanism, helping maintain lubrication during operation. A contoured pistol grip and patented one-hand forward/reverse control simplify tool handling and direction changes. Measuring 7.3" (185 mm) in length and weighing 6.0 lbs (2.72 kg), the 244A features a standard-length anvil for conventional service applications. With 21 CFM air consumption at load, a 1/4" air inlet, and a 3/8" minimum hose size, the wrench provides clearly defined requirements for connecting to an appropriately sized compressed-air supply.

• Garage and vehicle restoration projects – Supporting routine automotive repairs and restoration work using compatible impact sockets and an adequate compressed-air system.

FAQs:

• Q: How much torque does the Ingersoll Rand 244A impact wrench deliver?
  A: Ingersoll Rand specifies 500 ft-lbs (678 Nm) of maximum reverse torque. Its Vehicle Services Catalog also identifies a 40–350 ft-lbs working torque range. Maximum reverse torque represents rated loosening capability and should not be treated as an accurate final tightening setting.
• Q: What is the difference between the Ingersoll Rand 244A and 244A-2?
  A: The standard 244A has a 7.3" overall length and weighs 6.0 lbs, while the 244A-2 features a 2" extended anvil, measures 9.5" long, and weighs 6.3 lbs. Both models deliver 500 ft-lbs maximum reverse torque and operate at 7,000 RPM. The extended-anvil version provides additional reach for recessed fasteners.
• Q: What air compressor capacity is required for the Ingersoll Rand 244A?
  A: The manufacturer specifies 21 CFM air consumption at load and 5.4 CFM average air consumption at a recommended operating pressure of 90 PSI. The wrench has a 1/4" air inlet and requires a minimum 3/8" hose. Select compressor capacity based on expected tool usage and ensure sufficient airflow reaches the tool under load.
• Q: How does the pressure-feed lubrication system work on the 244A?
  A: The pressure-feed lubrication system automatically delivers grease to the impact mechanism during operation. This helps maintain lubrication of the hammer components, but it does not eliminate the need for routine tool inspection and manufacturer-recommended maintenance. Follow Ingersoll Rand's lubrication and servicing instructions.
• Q: Can the Ingersoll Rand 244A be used for vehicle wheel removal?
  A: Yes. Its 1/2" square drive and rated reverse torque make it suitable for removing compatible vehicle wheel fasteners. Use properly fitted impact-rated sockets and complete final tightening with a calibrated torque wrench according to the vehicle manufacturer's specified torque.
