Ingersoll Rand 280 D-Handle Air Impact Wrench is built for heavy vehicle and equipment service where large fasteners require high pneumatic torque. Its 1" square drive delivers up to 1,600 ft-lbs (2,169 Nm) of maximum torque, while a 6,000 RPM free speed provides the rotational performance needed for demanding fastening and fastener-removal work.
The 280 combines a D-handle layout with an auxiliary side handle to provide additional control during high-torque operation. Its rocking-dog impact mechanism delivers repeated rotational impacts through the drive, while the built-in power regulator and convenient reverse control allow the operator to adapt the wrench to different service tasks.
