Precision Wrench™ (Fig.C)
In addition to low speed impacting modes, this tool features
the Precision Wrench™ mode which grants the user greater
control in both fastening and loosening applications. When set
in forward, the tool will fasten at 820RPM until impact begins.
The tool will then pause for 0.75 seconds before continuing
to impact at a rate of 2200IPM, providing the user with
greater control and reducing the chance of overtightening or
damagingmaterial.
