| Ingersoll Rand releases new cordless ratchets  Ingersoll Rand introduced new R140 ¼" mini, R145 3/8" mini, R380 3/8" standard class and R385 ½" standard class cordless ratchets. Designed and engineered for automotive and maintenance professionals, the new cordless ratchets provide high power and strength. With solid aluminum main housings, these ratchets stand up to the manual cranking strength needed from a ratchet. The R140 and R145 deliver a maximum torque of 25 foot-pounds and the R380 and R385 provide 70 foot-pounds. The ratchets' variable speed triggers provide the operator with maximum control while onboard microprocessor-controlled protection continuously monitors tool operation to prolong motor life and improve battery runtime.These ratchets feature the patent-pending IQV Grip, a twist-to-lock battery interface that eliminates typical damage to battery mounts and clips by locking the battery securely in place. A metal housing ring wraps around the handle, protecting the battery stem and housing in case the tool is inadvertently dropped. Additionally, the ratchets proprietary aluminum and composite housing protects the tool against harsh fluids common in automotive and industrial environments. The ratchets are compatible with either IQV 7.2-volt or 14.4-volt batteries depending on the model, and all are compatible with both lithium-ion and nickel-cadmium batteries. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
