Chicago Pneumatic Introduces Smallest, Lightest ½ ”Cordless Impact Wrench on the Market

The performance of a pneumatic tool in a wireless version! Unique 2-in-1 technology for increased productivity

The Chicago Pneumatic company has released a new battery-powered impact wrench for ½ inch. The CP8854 is the lightest and most compact tool in its class with a low vibration level. Based on a new technology that combines the efficiency of a standard pneumatic system with a double hammer and electronic control, the CP8854 provides unsurpassed performance. With a weight reduced by at least 25 percent and dimensions reduced by at least 11 percent compared to competing models, tire replacement specialists and original equipment manufacturers can now benefit from the power of a pneumatic tool in a lighter and more maneuverable wireless version. In addition, the tool has been designed to provide the highest level of efficiency, combined with excellent ergonomics and safety features, which allows car maintenance specialists to increase productivity.

Tire replacement and quick wheel maintenance

The CP8854 impact wrench is ideal for tire replacement and quick wheel replacement on light vehicles, including cars and vans. Mechanics can easily use the key to quickly remove the wheels to access the brakes, suspension and shock absorbers. Thanks to the built-in trip function, it is possible to pre-tighten the wheel nuts without the risk of excessive tightening.

"Mechanics and vehicle maintenance specialists do not have to sacrifice performance and can take advantage of the reliable Chicago Pneumatic impact wrench, but in a wireless configuration. As a result, they can perform wheel maintenance faster and more maneuverable.

Excellent ergonomics

The impact wrench has been designed with the user's comfort in mind and is characterized by excellent ergonomics. Its weight is 5.51 pounds (2.5 kg), and its length is 7.44 inches (189 mm). In addition, the tool is equipped with a Chicago Pneumatic reverse stroke system (CP Side2Side) for ease of use and a two-component handle for easy grip.

Workplace safety

The CP8854 key also contributes to improving workplace safety. The minimum vibration level of 9.3 m / s2 – which is at least 25 percent lower than that of competing instrument models – means that operators are at less risk of vibration sickness or wrist injuries. In addition, the impact wrench is equipped with a socket lock with a friction ring for an additional increase in safety. The tool provides a tightening torque of 780 ft-lb (1050 Nm) at a speed of 4500 rpm, which is three times higher than that of alternative battery wrenches, so car maintenance specialists can do their work faster, ensuring high productivity.

The CP8854 battery key is equipped with a two-stage trigger mechanism in the forward direction. By slightly pulling the trigger, the tool can be used to tighten the wheel nuts instead of manually tightening, and when fully pulled up, the wrench provides full power with disconnection at a tightening torque of 80 ft-lb (120 Nm) to prevent excessive tightening of the wheel nuts.

Durable and reliable

The tool is durable and reliable, with protection from falls and bumps, which ensures its durability. The elastomeric cover protects the clutch housing and the elastomeric plug, and the shock absorbers protect the tool so that it can withstand the harsh conditions of everyday use. In addition, the tool has an overheat protection, thanks to which the cooling fans work independently of the engine.

In addition, the battery with a voltage of 18 V and a capacity of 2.5 Ah is characterized by excellent performance, long working time and low power consumption. According to the results of tests conducted in the workshop of the car manufacturer, 2,800 cycles were performed in four weeks, and the battery was charged only four times.

"At Chicago Pneumatic, we share a passion for productivity and long-term partnerships. In 2021, we are proud to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the company and we strive to offer innovative, reliable products and services based on technology and trust. The CP8854 model was developed taking into account innovations and customer needs. This new series of impact wrenches is part of a new product line, designed to help vehicle maintenance specialists increase productivity through the use of intelligent technologies and an approach to solving emerging problems.
