Next-Gen Torque Wrench Designed to go Head-to-Head with 'Best Air Tool on the Market'
When Ingersoll Rand developed its W7150 high-impact cordless wrench, the company decided to throw out the conventional design philosophy for impact wrenches, explains portfolio manager Steve Jensen. "We decided to turn that on its head and focus on what was truly important to an end user," Jensen tells New Equipment Digest. "An end user will tell you that torque is important, but what they really want to do is finish their job as quickly as possible, and do it repeatedly every time."
