Ingersoll Rand’s 285B-6 1” Drive Impactool delivers 1770 ft./lbs. of maximum torque at 120 psi, with a 5,250 rpm free speed and high-efficiency, six-vane motor. The new Fast-Torque feature also delivers 1,000 ft./lbs. of torque in two seconds.

The precisely sized fiber-reinforcement vanes eliminate motor lock-ups by minimizing vane growth for water absorption.
