The impact wrench is also called an air wrench, impact gun, air gun, torque gun, and windy gun. It is a socket air tool designed to deliver high torque results with little effort on the user's part.. It also has similar categories like ratchet wrench, nutsetter, riveters, screwdriver, air drills, grinder, sander, saw and fillers.

Impact wrenches are commonly used in various industries, such as auto mechanics, heavy machinery maintenance, product assembly, major infrastructure projects, and any other activity where a high torque output is needed.

A pulse tool is often used for product assembly because it provides reactionless tightening while decreasing the noise levels that regular hits produce. Oil is used as a medium to convey kinetic energy from the hammer to the anvil in pulse tools. It results in a better impulse, a reduced torque-to-weight ratio, and the ability to design a shut-off mechanism that turns the tool off when the necessary torque has been achieved. Because the performance and technology of pulse tools differ from that of pneumatic wrenches, these are not referred to as "impact wrenches."

How ...
... does it work?

An impact driver has an electric or air piston that twists the recalcitrant lug nut in a quick, forceful rotational torque, usually in small bursts. The constant brief, powerful bursts of force attempting to rotate on the fastener potentially result in motion. Watch this video to know more- https://youtu.be/f0gSJa3L_7c.

Cordless Vs Pneumatic
With a cordless wrench, you pick it up, attach your socket and get to work. Pneumatic requires you to attach a pipe, possibly to both the tools and the compressors and charge up the compressor before pulling your screw and getting on it. If you're a mobile mechanic, the convenience factor is bigger.

What are Uses of Pneumatic Wrench?
An air impact driver, also known as a pneumatic impact wrench, is an air tool used to quickly remove and tighten bolts and nuts. Air impact wrenches are different from other types of powered wrenches in that they can produce torque in jolts rather than a constant force.
