Together with its improved weight distribution, this makes the tool easier to handle. And, unlike most other 3/4" impacts, the 259 doesn’t require an upgrade to a 1/2" air line. This means lower shop costs and greater convenience of use … all without sacrificing tool performance. Variable speed trigger offers impressive control. Non-biased motor delivers 1,050 ft-lb of maximum torque in both forward and reverse.
