Product Information
Full details
This Durofix 12V G12 platform stubby impact wrench is designed for professionals and serious DIYers who need compact power for tight workspaces. Its key benefit is delivering high torque (540Nm reverse, 338Nm tightening) in a short body (132mm) with advanced control features. A primary consideration is that this is a 'tool only' item, requiring a compatible battery and charger sold separately.

FAQs
What is the maximum torque this impact wrench can deliver?
It delivers up to 540Nm of reverse torque for breaking fasteners loose and 338Nm of maximum tightening torque.
Does this product come with a battery and charger?
No, this is a 'tool only' product. A compatible Durofix G12 series 12V (10.8V) Lithium-Ion battery and charger must be purchased separately.
How do the 3-stage auto shut-off modes work?
These modes allow you to set maximum torque limits (85Nm, 155Nm, or 240Nm) to prevent over-tightening fasteners during the tightening process.
What is the main advantage of the stubby design?
The compact 132mm body length makes it ideal for working in confined spaces, such as tight engine bays or underneath vehicles, where standard impact wrenches cannot fit.
Is the brushless motor beneficial?
Yes, the BLDC brushless motor provides higher efficiency, consistent power, a longer lifespan, and requires less maintenance compared to brushed motors.
Can I use any 1/2" impact socket with this wrench?
Yes, it features a standard 1/2" square anvil that accepts all common 1/2" drive impact sockets. The friction ring helps secure the socket.
What is the warranty period for this tool?
Please refer to the Durofix official website or product packaging for the most current warranty information, as it may vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Tool does not power on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the tool. Check if the battery contacts are clean. Try a different G12 battery if available.
Reduced power or torque
The battery may be low on charge; recharge it fully. Check the anvil and socket for any debris or damage that might impede rotation. Ensure you are using appropriate impact sockets.
Socket won't stay on anvil
The friction ring may be worn or damaged. Ensure the socket's retaining groove is clean and undamaged. Replace the friction ring if necessary (refer to service manual).
Overheating during use
Allow the tool to cool down between extended use cycles. Ensure ventilation ports are clear of debris. Avoid continuous operation at maximum load for prolonged periods.
