Ingersoll Rand 500A Angle Pulse Tool is designed for medium-torque fastening applications where access to confined spaces and reduced operator fatigue are important. Featuring an angle configuration, a non-shut-off clutch, 7,000 RPM free speed, a 12–30 ft-lbs torque range, and a 3/8" square drive, this pneumatic pulse tool delivers smooth fastening performance while minimizing torque reaction through its oil pulse mechanism. The angle head design provides improved access to difficult-to-reach fasteners commonly found in production environments.
The 500A is well suited for repetitive industrial assembly operations where controlled medium-torque fastening and maneuverability are essential. Its non-shut-off operation allows experienced operators to control fastening cycles while benefiting from the smooth power delivery characteristic of pulse tooling.

Made in USA: 
Applications:
- Automotive assembly operations requiring improved access to fasteners.
- Industrial equipment and machinery manufacturing.
- Appliance production and general manufacturing assembly.
- Assembly stations with limited clearance where an angle tool improves accessibility.
- Medium-torque fastening applications requiring reduced torque reaction and consistent operator control.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the benefit of the angle configuration?
A: The angle head provides improved access to fasteners in confined spaces where an inline tool may be difficult to position. - Q: What does non shut-off mean?
A: A non shut-off pulse tool does not automatically stop at a preset torque. The operator controls the fastening cycle based on the application requirements. - Q: What torque range does the 500A provide?
A: The catalog confirms a fastening torque range of 12–30 ft-lbs. - Q: What drive size does this tool use?
A: The 500A features a 3/8-inch square drive for use with compatible industrial sockets. - Q: Does the catalog specify weight, air consumption, air inlet size, operating pressure, or sound level?
A: No. Those specifications were not confirmed in the provided source and have therefore been omitted.
