Manufacturer’s product description
The GJEMAX 18V Cordless Impact Wrench is a versatile tool set for DIY enthusiasts working on home or vehicle projects. With a maximum torque of 520 Nm, three power settings, and a 3-in-1 function (screwing, drilling, and loosening nuts), the tool is suitable for various applications such as tire changes or assembly work.
The extensive range of accessories is particularly impressive: the set includes socket wrenches, drill bits, a bit set, and a sturdy tool case, so you can get started right away.
