Ingersoll Rand2850MAX-6 1-Inch 5,500 rpm Impact Wrench with 6-Inch Anvil Extension

I'm a heavy equipment mechanic and I purchased this 1" drive impact to remove excavator counter weight bolts, rusted track pad bolts and Volvo A30 hull truck lugs. Let's just say I'll never need to borrow the 1" community shop gun ever again! This thing has some amazing torque and seems built to last a very long time. My service truck has a 3/8" air hose that I run all my air tools with but I've added a second 1/2" hose just for this beast! It works perfectly! I'm pretty sure Ingersoll recommends a 3/4" hose for this impact but that's an awful big hose and I'm not to sure how my compressor would keep up with that. I would say I'm still getting 99% of this impacts torque with the 1/2" hose though. This gun is still weighty but compared to other 1" impacts in the same class it's extremely light weight. I also love how I can position the handle in any position needed for the job. I believe this gun is now tied with my Milwaukee fuel 3/4 impact for favorite tool! Love my Ingersoll air tools and my Milwaukee M18 battery tools!! Ingersoll Rand's 2850max is a 5 star tool all the way!!!!!

I am liking it so farI have only done about 20 wheel sets with this gun and has easily handled everything.First couple sets that I did I did get my torque wrench with multiplier and clicked all at 600 because the gun seems so light I'm working so easily. I tried to put 400 to 600 lb on wheel lugs unlike most tire guys to see if they can get it's really really tight.I find myself wanting to put a steel wrapper around it to make it heavier. Lightest tire gun I ever owned.The back twist when you hit a tight lug is quite a bit less than other guns but still doing the job.Will not say that I love this gun yet because it's only been in operation for a month I will wait until it gets to a year and see if it handles the mother of all lugs.Rite now I just really like and I'llhopping to take it to the next level

Just like most everyone else here is saying, no power. I would say either IR is buying their stuff from somewhere else that makes it cheap and doesn't work well or they got bought out by a company that doesn't care.

These according to YouTube vids are the strongest air impact 1" wrenches you can buy. I don't doubt it either. I haven't used the long anvil much yet but there were some Allen Head bolts that hold the cap on the end of the main boom cylinder on my John Deere 437e Knuckleboom Loader that I needed to get out. I threw everything at them I had on 2 service trucks, including Harbor Freight and Chicago Pneumatic 1" guns, and they wouldn't budge. Even broke several impact pieces and still no budge... They used 17mm allen heads and im not that familiar with metric sizes that big but thats a big bolt, probably over an inch and a quarter if they were sae. My short anvil Ingersoll 2850 was at home and I brought it the next day.... I already had owned it a year before buying the long anvil.... It ripped them all right out at about 130 psi and hooked to only 3/8" fittings (although I do have 30 gallon 2 stage portables on service trucks, I need to upgrade my plumbing)! With 3/8" connections they will out perform any impact I have ever touched! When you plumb them to my big Speedaire 7hp 80 gallon 2 stage at my shop where there is nothing smaller than 1/2" carrying the air then they truly go into Mega Beast mode! I mean get in, sit down, shut up, and hang on!! They also easily peel the lock nut off the shaft inside those cylinders and they require a 3.5" socket. Lugs on road tractor and trailer wheels are childs play for these impacts, short or long. Look at the pic, I know, I have them both! They are crazy light as well. And, they have their triggers on the handle interior, which is so much better than having that snake trigger ready to strike on the exterior! Take it from me.....30 years in logging business and working on my heavy equipment.... you can't go wrong with these impacts!!

Nice gun it’s light and has plenty of torque

I bought the set where the impact plus a 20 ton bottle jack comes with it.Let me tell you a lot of people at work struggle with lifting the other model (heavy duty) I laugh my ass off watching them stare at me lift my impact like it’s part of my arm it’s very light , believe me when you are dealing with 1 inch bolts or nuts and have the space to fit this one , this thing will spin those suckers free! Even with rusted bolts , I have dealt with some seized up bolts and had to pull out the torch to get them vary vary hot ! And throw water then torch and water again to make them metal expand. After a coupe tries this thing got them out , just oil and grease daily !!!! I love my ir.

I took a chance on buying this gun based on all the hype of the brand and the proce drop and let me tell you!! I have been doing semi tire with a cheap brand that I got a year ago and it did well never failed but now that I am able to upgrade i didAnd this gun its lighter and it kicks really soft and the sound its just way quieter it did starve my 30 gal single stage gas conpressor rather quick.So i guess I will be on the market for a 2 stage soon to keep up with this gun, I paired it with a milton 1/2 coupler and it did the jobI will give it 5 stars just because it is a night and day difference and its a joy to useOnly pronlem I had was installing the handle I had to get my tap and dye set out and clean the threads both on the hamdle and the bolts after that it was a breezeDid I mention how light it is !!! Man this is worth every pennyWish it came with a case tho :( like the cheap ones

The middle handle was threaded for 8mmx1.0 screws but the screws that came with the gun were 8mmx1.25. Other than that the unit seems to be robust and the light weight is a pleasant surprise.
