Harbor Freight Bauer impact wrench

Harbor Freight Tools is adding a 20V brushless cordless high torque ½ inch impact wrench with friction ring to its popular Bauer line.

A brushless motor delivers up to 1,000 foot-pounds of bolt breakaway torque and up to 650 foot-pounds of fastening torque for loosening or tightening hex-head bolts, lug nuts and fasteners, said the company.

The three-speed motor operates at 0-700, 0-1400, and 0-1800 RPM. It also features a variable speed trigger for added precision and control.

The friction ring ensures secure socket retention by keeping the socket seated on the ½ inch square anvil drive.

“The all-metal gear construction adds extra durability,” said the firm, “while a textured, ergonomically designed overmold provides a secure grip and comfort.”

For working in dimly lit areas, this impact wrench features a bright LED light to illuminate the workspace.

The company said the 20V battery system is compatible with more than 70 products within the Bauer 20V lineup. Battery and charger are sold separately.
