Strong all-rounders New 1500 and 1600 Nm impact wrenches by FLEX

FLEX-Elektrowerkzeuge GmbH presents two new impact wrenches, IW 1/2" 1500 18-EC and IW 3/4" 1600 18-EC, powerful all-rounders that are solid, strong and yet low-vibration. They impress with a powerful impact rate of up to 2,350 beat per minute, particularly robust construction and advanced ergonomics. With this strong performance resulting from innovative technology and a compact design, the devices close an important gap in the impact wrench segment, scoring points for their power and strong torque, durability and user-friendly features.

Customised solutions for trade and industry

The new impact wrenches are aimed at trade professionals from the fields of body construction, automotive mechanics, construction, timber construction, metalworking, plant and hall construction. Thanks to the well thought-out function and high performance, they offer clear advantages for these industries:

Body shop and automotive mechanics:

How about a little more power? The new impact wrenches can play to their strengths when replacing shock absorbers, truck clutches or even working on stabilisers, brake calipers or wheel hubs. The two models not only offer a high torque power for the efficient machining of wheel nuts, bolts and assemblies, but precise control options and reliable durability as well. The auto-stop mode ensures that screws are not overtightened - ideal for powerful yet sensitive work on vehicles.

Construction and timber construction:

The especially handy, compact design, combined with the high impact force, makes the devices practical and reliable partners for the heavy bolting of beams, anchor setting, timber constructions and all kinds of assembly work.

Metalworking and plant engineering:

The extreme durability provided by the die-cast aluminium housing of the two new impact wrenches offers the optimum resistance for tough operating conditions, such as driving screws into steel beams or machine components or assembling industrial systems.

Innovative technology for maximum efficiency

The new FLEX impact wrenches impress with a variety of technical highlights that offer tradespeople real added value in their daily work. The brushless 18 V 18-EC motor ensures a longer service life, greater efficiency and less maintenance. It provides a constant performance even with challenging tasks, and adapts flexibly to different applications thanks to Speed Command. The speed switch has been designed so sensitively that it allows the user to control the speed in the best way possible.

Maximum robustness with die-cast aluminium housing

The innovative design of the two new impact wrenches is particularly noteworthy: the motor and impact mechanism are housed in a common die-cast aluminium housing, which makes the machines resistant to shocks and harsh environmental conditions. This innovative design has been patented, and ensures outstanding durability.

Ergonomics and ease of use

A de-coupled, ergonomic handle with vibration damping reduces vibrations and enables fatigue-free working, even over longer periods of time. Five-level integrated LED lighting ensures good visibility even in poorly lit working areas.

Precision from intelligent features

The auto-stop mode makes it easier to tighten and loosen screws precisely, thus avoiding the dreaded overtightening. A square holder with snap ring allows the impact sockets to be changed quickly. And a finely adjustable speed switch gives the user full control over the power.

Versatile battery system and practical extras

The new models IW 1/2" 1500 18-EC and IW 3/4" 1600 18-EC are part of the high-quality FLEX 18 V battery system with Therma-Tech® technology, which ensures a constant performance and long operating times. Practical functions such as a the removable belt clip and the LED battery capacity indicator make the devices particularly suitable for everyday use.

The all-rounders for a wide variety of applications

With the IW 1/2" 1500 18-EC and IW 3/4" 1600 18-EC, FLEX offers robust and powerful impact wrenches that are perfectly tailored to the requirements of modern craftsmen. Whether in the workshop or on the construction site, these machines impress with their performance, precision, durability and user-friendliness.
