Unmatched Power, Unbelievably Compact
Welcome to the next level of pneumatic tool engineering. The Ingersoll Rand 35MAX is purpose-built for the professional mechanic and serious DIYer who understands that time is money and accessibility is everything. Say goodbye to the frustration of bulky tools that can't fit and the disappointment of underpowered wrenches that can't break stubborn bolts free.
A Mechanic's Perspective: "As a professional mechanic with over 15 years in the bay, I've held my fair share of impact wrenches. Heavy, loud, and often too big for the job. The first time I used the 35MAX on a cramped transmission housing, it was a revelation. It delivered the torque of a tool twice its size and saved me a solid hour of painstaking work. It's not just a tool; it's a problem-solver."
Why the 35MAX is a Game-Changer in Your Toolbox
Unlike other options on the market that force you to choose between power and size, the 35MAX delivers both without compromise. Ingersoll Rand's legendary twin-hammer mechanism has been perfected in this model to provide maximum, consistent power from a compact motor. This means you get brutish torque for rusted-on suspension components and delicate control for more sensitive jobs, all from the same tool. The forward/reverse ring and three-position power regulator are designed for true one-handed operation, letting you keep your other hand on the workpiece for added safety and stability.

Built for a Lifetime of Hard Work
Durability is at the core of every Ingersoll Rand product. The 35MAX features a rugged composite housing that withstands drops, impacts, and exposure to shop chemicals. The internal components are crafted from high-grade steel to ensure a long service life, even under daily, demanding use. This tool isn't a disposable purchase; it's a long-term investment in efficiency and reliability.

- 3. Select Socket: Use only high-quality impact-rated sockets that match your fastener.
- 4. Set Power: Choose your desired power level and direction (forward/reverse) using the one-handed control ring.
- 5. Operation: Apply the socket to the fastener and depress the trigger in short bursts initially to ensure proper seating.
- 6. Post-Operation: Disconnect from air supply and wipe the tool clean before storage.
Real User Reviews
"This little thing is a beast! It gets into spaces my old impact wouldn't dream of—like behind the engine block and around suspension components. It hasn't failed me on a rusty bolt yet, and my arm doesn't feel like jelly at the end of the day. A must-have for any mechanic." - Mark R.
"Great power and amazing size. It feels solid and well-built. My only small gripe is it's thirsty for air, so make sure your compressor can keep up during continuous use. Otherwise, it's perfect for weekend auto work and has made changing tires a breeze." - DIY Dave
"I was skeptical that something this small could deliver on its torque claims, but I was wrong. The 35MAX has exceeded all my expectations. It's now the first impact wrench I grab for almost any job." - Sarah L.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to maintain the Ingersoll Rand 35MAX?
Proper maintenance is key. Add a few drops of air tool oil into the air inlet daily before use. After every 40-50 hours of operation, check the hammer mechanism and re-grease if necessary. Always store it in a dry location.
What size air compressor do I need for this impact wrench?
For optimal performance, we recommend an air compressor with a tank size of at least 20-30 gallons, capable of delivering 4-5 CFM at 90 PSI.
Is this tool powerful enough for changing truck tires?
With 450 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque, the 35MAX is powerful enough for most passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks. For heavy-duty commercial trucks, you might consider a larger model.
