Chicago Pneumatic says its new  model CP7749 is the world’s first and only half-inch pneumatic impact wrench with side-to-side forward/reverse functionality (patent-pending S2S Technology) located directly above the trigger. The company calls it "the easiest to use and most convenient one-hand forward/reverse system ever engineered in a pneumatic impact wrench."

The S2S feature allows technicians to change between forward and reverse "effortlessly" with one hand in any position. The three-position regulator in forward provides control and helps to prevent over-tightening, while full power remains constant in reverse to ensure technicians have max power to remove fasteners without changing the setting in the forward position.

The CP7749’s lightweight and compact magnesium composite design is only 4.37 lb and 7.3 in. in length. The tool features a twin hammer clutch to ensure long-term durability and power, with a full tease trigger for ultimate control of its 725 lb ft of torque. It comes with a two-year warranty.

The CP7749 is also available with a two-inch anvil (CP7749-2) for tire removal applications.
