AJAX Tools Air Impact Wrenches: Precision-Engineered Pneumatic Performance
AJAX Tool Works has spent decades building a reputation as one of America's most trusted names in industrial pneumatic tools. Founded in 1946, the Illinois-based manufacturer built its legacy on deep expertise in heat-treating, forging, and machining — a combination that directly informs the durability and precision found in every tool the brand produces. When it comes to their air impact wrenches, that same philosophy applies: these are tools designed for professionals who need dependable, hard-working performance shift after shift.
Built on a Foundation of Alloy Steel Craftsmanship
AJAX is recognized as a leading supplier to the automotive industry for professional tool programs, and their special alloy steel tools reflect the company's real-world know-how and recognition of the growing demands of a changing industry. This commitment to material quality is evident in their impact wrench lineup, where the same alloy steel expertise and advanced heat-treating technology — atmosphere controlled to allow production for specific hardening needs without surface decarburization — carries over from their broader tool manufacturing process.
The AJAX #1985 1/2" Air Impact Wrench
The cornerstone of AJAX's air impact wrench offering is their Model #1985 1/2-inch Air Impact Wrench.

It is designed to handle the torque demands of both automotive service environments and heavy-duty rescue applications.
