Chicago Pneumatic, a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of high-performance aftermarket tools, accessories and compressors, has brought to market the world’s first and only ½ inch pneumatic impact wrench with side-to-side (S2S) Technology for forward/reverse functionality located directly above the trigger. This revolutionary design provides the easiest to use and most convenient forward/reverse system ever engineered in a pneumatic impact wrench.
 
Targeted applications are tires in vehicle service or any other application where power is required combined with necessity to constantly change between forward/reverse.

The CP7749 is well balanced, light weight at only 1,98 kg (4.37 pounds), and packs a punch with 980 Nm (725 ft.lbs) of true, honest torque. Combine those features with the patent-pending S2S Technology, and Chicago Pneumatic has created a tool that reduces the strain on wrist and forearm common with the use of typical impact wrenches when changing direction of rotation.
 
The exclusive S2S Technology allows technicians to effortlessly change between forward and reverse with one hand in any position. The three position power 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 is a continuation of the Chicago Pneumatic’s line of power tools in magnesium composite design, which started with the astonishing 7740. This design provides a very lightweight and compact tool at only 1,98 kg (4.37 pounds) and 186 mm (7.3 inches) in length. The tool features a twin hammer clutch to ensure long term durability and power and a full tease trigger for ultimate control of its 980 Nm (725 ft.lbs) of torque.
 
The CP7749 is also available with a two-inch anvil (CP7749-2) for tire removal applications when accessibility is an issue or the use of ”flip”-sockets.
