Ingersoll Rand 380PQ1 Pistol Grip Pneumatic Pulse Tool | 8,500 RPM | 15-32 (ft-lbs) Torque Range | 1/4" Hex Quick Change | Trigger Start

For production fastening operations where quick fastener rundown and reduced torque reaction are important, the Ingersoll Rand 380PQ1 Pistol Grip Pneumatic Pulse Tool delivers controlled fastening performance through the manufacturer's Power Pulse mechanism. This non-shut-off tool operates at 8,500 RPM free speed and provides an adjustable 15–32 ft-lbs (20–44 Nm) torque range for repetitive assembly involving M8 fasteners. Its hydraulic pulse mechanism delivers torque through short, controlled pulses rather than the continuous reaction force associated with conventional direct-drive fastening tools. The resulting reactionless operation supports one-handed fastening and helps reduce the physical effort required to manage torque during repeated assembly cycles. A 1/4" hex quick-change drive allows compatible fastening bits to be exchanged efficiently when changing fastener types or assembly operations.

The Ingersoll Rand 380PQ1 incorporates a two-speed trigger that provides slow-speed starting for initial fastener engagement and high-speed rundown for completing the fastening operation. Its easy torque adjustment allows the tool to be configured within its specified range, while the patented cooling system supports pulse mechanism durability during repeated use. The 7.0" (178 mm) overall length and 2.9 lb (1.3 kg) weight provide a compact pistol grip configuration for handheld production assembly. With 11 CFM (311 L/min) air consumption, a 1/4" NPT air inlet, and a 3/8" (10 mm) minimum hose diameter, the tool can be integrated into a properly sized compressed-air system. Its non-shut-off design allows operators to control the fastening cycle through the trigger, making it suitable for applications prioritizing speed, reduced reaction force, and flexible torque adjustment rather than automatic torque shut-off.

• Industrial manufacturing – High-speed fastening on assembly stations where repeatable operating procedures and reduced torque reaction are important.
• Machinery and equipment assembly – Installing threaded fasteners in housings, machine components, and mechanical assemblies within the specified torque range.
• Appliance and equipment production – Performing repetitive fastening operations where the two-speed trigger helps control initial engagement and rundown.
• Production maintenance and rework – Fastening replacement components and reassembling machinery where a compact, adjustable pneumatic pulse tool is appropriate.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the torque range of the Ingersoll Rand 380PQ1?
  A: The 380PQ1 has a manufacturer-specified torque range of 15–32 ft-lbs (20–44 Nm). Its adjustable torque setting lets you configure the tool for different fastening applications within this range. Verify the actual delivered torque on the intended joint using an appropriate torque measurement method.
• Q: What does non-shut-off mean on the 380PQ1 pulse tool?
  A: Non-shut-off means the tool does not automatically stop when a preset torque is reached. The operator controls the fastening cycle through the trigger. For applications requiring automatic stopping or additional torque-control safeguards, consider an appropriate shut-off or transducerized fastening tool.
• Q: How does a pneumatic pulse tool differ from a conventional impact wrench?
  A: A pulse tool uses a hydraulic pulse mechanism to transfer torque in short pulses while minimizing reaction force transmitted to the operator. This makes it useful for repetitive production fastening where controlling torque reaction is important. Unlike a conventional impact wrench selected primarily for breakaway or general fastening power, pulse tools are commonly selected according to assembly torque requirements and joint characteristics.
• Q: What compressed-air supply is required for the Ingersoll Rand 380PQ1?
  A: Ingersoll Rand specifies 11 CFM (311 L/min) air consumption, a 1/4" NPT air inlet, and a minimum 3/8" (10 mm) hose internal diameter. Select a compressor and air distribution system capable of supplying the required airflow at the manufacturer's specified operating pressure. Account for pressure losses through fittings, hoses, and air preparation components.
• Q: What is the difference between the Ingersoll Rand 380PQ1 and 380P?
  A: Both models operate at 8,500 RPM and are listed for M8 fasteners. The 380PQ1 has a 15–32 ft-lbs torque range and 1/4" hex quick-change drive, while the 380P has an 18–36 ft-lbs torque range and 3/8" square drive. Choose the model according to the required torque range and whether the assembly uses compatible hex bits or square-drive sockets.
