Classic quality from Chicago Pneumatic
Chicago Pneumatic (CP) has a well established reputation for manufacturing and distributing an extensive range of professional pneumatic tools for the vehicle service and industrial maintenance industries.
Since its launch in 1901, Chicago Pneumatic has endeavoured to meet and anticipate customer needs through an ever increasing range of high-performance tools.
The company recently increased its product offering by doubling the warranty period to two years on their original ‘Classic’ range of tools. This new Classic range is a collection of all the well known vehicle service tools in the CP range that customers regard as essential to their business and forms the initial part of the company’s complete redesign of its entire product portfolio in due course.
Included in this Classic collection are many popular tools such as the CP734H ½ inch impact wrench which features DYNA-PACT oil bath clutch and one-handed push button forward/reverse with four positive power settings to deliver a smooth operation and extreme durability.
Other tools in the Classic range include the CP797 one inch super duty impact wrench, the undisputed market leader that specialises in high volume work on trucks and buses with a rocking dog clutch, teasing throttle and convenient reverse valve for high performance and durability. The CP828 ⅜ inch and CP828 ½ inch heavy duty ratchet gives easy access to restricted areas and offers easy grip reverse for simple directional changes along with a patented TriSpring, anti-slip head design and hardened gears for impressive power and speed.
Mark Hammond, CP’s Marketing Manager says, “We currently offer over 500 products with many industry leaders in the workshop and this latest extended warranty guarantee of our Classic range underlines CP’s complete confidence in our tools as being versatile, durable and powerful.”
CP is always looking to provide innovative and market leading tools that are lighter and more powerful and easier to manage without compromise on performance and the recently introduced CP7749 ½ inch impact wrench typifies this professional approach.
The CP7749 ½ inch heavy duty impact wrench, with S2S Technology, is the market’s most convenient one handed impact wrench design. The operator can change between forward and reverse with one hand in any position, resulting in less stress and fatigue on operator’s wrist and arm. The tool’s composite handle and magnesium clutch housing also decreases the weight of the tool (net weight 1.98kg) and improves the overall balance. Coupled with full reverse power up to 725ft-Ibs (983Nm) and the support of a two year warranty, it makes the CP7749 the ultimate ½ inch impact wrench.
Towards the end of 2010 an all-new industrial tool range will also be introduced as the next phase of the CP redesign programme which will be completed early next year when the entire product portfolio (excluding ‘Classic’ Range) will be simplified and presented in just one colour scheme – black and red.
Mark concludes: “We are constantly optimising our products to offer the right tool to get the job done. Whilst CP continually evolves the appearance and range of its tools, our company values of ‘Quality, Reliability and Performance’ remain the same.”
