For technicians working around recessed wheel fasteners, machinery housings, and hard-to-reach mechanical connections, the Ingersoll Rand 2146Q1MAX-3 Air Impact Wrench delivers powerful fastening performance with improved access. Equipped with a 3/4" square drive and 3" extended anvil, this pneumatic impact wrench provides additional reach without the length of a six-inch extended-anvil model. Its 2,000 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque helps break loose stubborn fasteners, while 1,450 ft-lbs of maximum reverse torque and 1,300 ft-lbs of maximum forward torque support demanding removal and fastening operations. The cold-forged twin-hammer impact mechanism (two hammers delivering repeated rotational impacts) transfers power to large threaded connections during vehicle service, heavy equipment repair, and industrial maintenance.
The 2146Q1MAX-3 is part of Ingersoll Rand's 2146MAX Series and features an integrated pressure gauge to help maintain the recommended 90 PSI operating pressure. Its 5,500 RPM free speed and 1,075 blows per minute support efficient bolt removal, while Quiet Technology reduces operating noise. The steel hammer case, anodized end plate, and composite housing help protect the tool during regular workshop use. Weighing 8.8 lbs and measuring 11.5 inches in overall length, this pistol-grip wrench offers a middle-ground option between standard and six-inch extended-anvil configurations, making it useful for fleet workshops, equipment service teams, and industrial maintenance departments.
