Bosch ProFactor 18V Cordless 1/2-Inch Impact Wrench: The Big Deal

This impact wrench delivers up to 740 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 1,180 ft-lbs of breakaway torque. Additionally, there are three speed and torque settings (0-800/1300/1750 RPM) so you can adjust the power level to fit the needs of your job.
Additional Features
- Variable speed trigger
- LED light system
- Rubber head for protection against damage

- Auto bolt release stops rotation in reverse when there is no load on the tool
