Ingersoll Rand launches IQV Series cordless tools

Ingersoll Rand unveils a new series of cordless tools engineered specifically for professionals who demand peak power and durability. Featuring patented IQV technology, the IQV Series is comprised of a broad range of cordless tools, including the compact W040 ¼" quick-change Impactool, the versatile W150 3/8" Impactool and the powerful W360 ½" Impactool. IQV Series tools also include two best-in-class drill / drivers - the 19.2-volt D650 and 14.4-volt D550. The IQV Series cordless tools combine the same precision engineering with efficient battery technology to provide the high power per volt. This means that more power is generated from smaller, lighter and lower voltage batteries.

In addition to power, the new cordless tools match shop / plant requirements with industrial-grade engineering for tough, heavy-duty jobs. All IQV Series cordless tools are engineered with composite housings to deliver maximum structural strength with minimum weight. The composite housings protect against damaging chemicals and fluids common in shop or plant environments and are reinforced with a patented metal design that provides extra strength for excellent drop resistance.

Ingersoll Rand IQV Series cordless tools utilize a new battery interface to lock the battery securely in place. With competitive designs, batteries can be difficult to use and even fall out when mounts and clips become damaged. The new line of cordless tools employs the IQV Grip, a patent-pending twist-to-lock design that grips the battery into the tool, providing superior holding strength.

The IQV charger automatically detects battery voltage and chemistry and chooses the correct charge algorithm. By 'reading' the battery, the charger can optimize its charge to improve performance and longevity. The charger's renew feature 'deep cycle' restores the battery to like-new condition and calibrates onboard battery electronics. For nickel-cadmium batteries, the renew feature eliminates memory effect, extending the usable battery life up to five times and significantly decreasing the number of replacement batteries over the life of the tool.
