ID AW110 PNEUMATIC IMPACT WRENCH MACHINE [AIR TOOL] - 20409

The ID AW110 Pneumatic Impact Wrench offers a significant power-to-weight advantage over most corded electric models in the same torque class. At just 1.09 kg and with a max torque of 102 N·m, it delivers comparable or superior output while being lighter and more compact. Pneumatic tools also have fewer heat-related limitations during continuous use, making the AW110 better suited for sustained workshop operation. The trade-off is that it requires a compressed air supply of at least 90 PSI and 3.5 CFM, whereas electric models only need a power outlet.

The ID AW110 requires a compressor capable of supplying a minimum of 90 PSI (6.20 Bar) and at least 3.5 CFM (99 L/min) of sustained air flow. For occasional use, a standard workshop compressor with a tank of 24–50 litres is typically sufficient. For continuous or production-line use, a larger compressor with a higher CFM rating is recommended to prevent pressure drop during extended operation. Connect via the standard 1/4" BSP air inlet using the included Japanese connector.

While the ID AW110 is engineered to professional standards and carries CE Machine Test certification, its compact size and lightweight 1.09 kg body make it equally accessible for serious home DIY users. If you already own or plan to purchase a suitable air compressor, the AW110 is an excellent investment for tasks like tyre changes, suspension work, deck building, or any project involving high volumes of bolts and nuts. Its adjustable air pressure also allows you to reduce torque output for lighter-duty fastening jobs.

The ID AW110 features a 3/8" square drive, which is compatible with all standard 3/8" drive impact sockets. It is important to use impact-rated sockets (typically black chrome or grey finish) rather than standard chrome-vanadium hand-tool sockets, as the latter can crack under the repeated impact forces generated by the wrench. The tool has a bolt capacity of 10 mm, making it ideal for the most common automotive and light industrial fastener sizes.

Yes. The ID AW110 Pneumatic Impact Wrench is designed for both tightening and loosening fasteners. Its hammer mechanism delivers rotational impact force in both forward and reverse directions, making it equally effective at driving bolts to specification torque and breaking loose seized or over-torqued fasteners. For precision tightening to a specific torque value, it is recommended to finish with a calibrated torque wrench after using the AW110 to run fasteners down.

The ID AW110 ships as a complete ready-to-connect kit. In the box you will find the impact wrench machine itself, a guide book with operating instructions and safety information, a wrench for maintenance, and a Japanese connector for immediate connection to a standard workshop air line. The tool carries CE Machine Test certification, confirming compliance with applicable safety and performance directives.

If the ID AW110 is underperforming on torque, the most common cause is insufficient air supply. First, verify that your compressor is delivering at least 90 PSI (6.20 Bar) at the tool inlet — pressure measured at the tank can be significantly higher than what reaches the tool due to line losses. Ensure your air hose has an adequate internal diameter (minimum 6 mm for 1/4" fittings) and that all connections are airtight. Also check that the air filter/oiler in your line is not blocked and that the tool is receiving light lubrication via an inline oiler, which is essential for maintaining the pneumatic motor and hammer mechanism at peak performance.

Some noise and vibration are inherent to all pneumatic impact wrenches due to the hammer mechanism operating at high speed. However, if the noise or vibration has increased noticeably compared to when the tool was new, this may indicate that the internal components require lubrication or inspection. Run a few drops of pneumatic tool oil through the air inlet before each use session. If the issue persists, check that the air supply is clean and dry — moisture and debris in the air line are the leading causes of premature wear in air tools. Operating consistently above the rated 90 PSI maximum pressure can also accelerate wear and increase vibration.

The ID AW110 can be used with a portable compressor, provided it meets the minimum requirements of 90 PSI and 3.5 CFM (99 L/min). Many compact portable compressors can reach 90 PSI but struggle to sustain the required CFM for continuous use, resulting in the compressor cycling on frequently and pressure dropping mid-task. For intermittent use — such as changing a set of tyres — a portable compressor with a tank of at least 24 litres will generally perform adequately. For sustained or back-to-back fastening tasks, a larger stationary compressor is strongly recommended to maintain consistent torque output.
