Draper 230V Impact Wrench Kit, 1/2" Sq.Dr., 480Nm, 4 x Impact Sockets

Remove and tighten high-torque fasteners with speed, power, and reliability using the Draper IW1000D 1000W Electric Impact Wrench Kit — a heavy-duty, professional-grade impact wrench built for mechanics, vehicle technicians, tyre fitters, maintenance engineers, and contractors who demand fast, dependable fastener removal and installation in workshop and on-site environments. Delivering up to 480Nm of fastening torque at an impact rate of up to 3,000 beats per minute, the IW1000D makes light work of wheel nuts, suspension fasteners, heavy machinery bolts, and any high-torque application that would take minutes with a manual wrench.

At the heart of the IW1000D is a robust 1,000W motor paired with a full metal gearbox — a critical specification for a tool that operates under the sustained high-load, high-shock conditions of impact fastening. Where plastic gearboxes in less capable tools wear rapidly under repeated impact loads, the IW1000D's all-metal gearbox is built to withstand the demands of professional daily use without the premature wear and failure that limits the service life of lower-specification alternatives.

The 1/2" square drive is the standard size for automotive and heavy maintenance impact work, giving access to the widest range of compatible impact sockets, extensions, and adaptors from all leading manufacturers. Four impact sockets — 17mm, 19mm, 21mm, and 23mm — are supplied as standard, covering the most commonly encountered wheel nut and fastener sizes across the full range of passenger cars, light commercials, and vans. It is important to note that only impact-rated sockets should be used with an impact wrench — standard chrome sockets are not designed to withstand the shock loads generated during impact operation.

Forward and reverse operation makes both removal and installation of fasteners straightforward, while the electric brake brings the drive to an immediate stop when the trigger is released — improving safety and precision when positioning sockets onto fasteners in confined spaces. A protective rubber bumper guards the tool body against knocks, drops, and the inevitable rough treatment of a busy workshop environment. Supplied in a sturdy plastic storage case, the IW1000D keeps all components organised, protected, and ready to use.

Specifications

FAQ Section

What torque does the Draper IW1000D produce?
The IW1000D delivers a maximum fastening torque of 480Nm, making it well suited to removing and installing wheel nuts, suspension fasteners, heavy machinery bolts, and other high-torque fasteners that require significant force to loosen or tighten correctly.

What sockets are supplied with the IW1000D?
The kit includes four impact-rated sockets: 17mm, 19mm, 21mm, and 23mm — covering the most commonly encountered wheel nut sizes across passenger cars, light commercials, SUVs, and vans. Additional impact sockets in other sizes are widely available separately.

Can I use standard chrome sockets with the IW1000D?
No. Standard chrome vanadium sockets are not designed to withstand the shock loads generated by an impact wrench and can crack or shatter during use, creating a serious safety hazard. Only impact-rated sockets — typically made from chrome molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish — should be used with the IW1000D.

What is the benefit of a full metal gearbox?
The gearbox in an impact wrench is subjected to repeated high-shock loads during every impact cycle. A full metal gearbox withstands these loads far more effectively than plastic alternatives, resisting wear, deformation, and failure under sustained professional daily use — directly contributing to a longer service life and more consistent performance over time.

What does the electric brake do?
The electric brake applies an instant counter-current to the motor the moment the trigger is released, stopping the drive immediately rather than allowing it to spin down under its own momentum. This improves safety when working in confined spaces around engine bays and suspension components, and gives more precise control when positioning sockets onto fasteners.

What is the impact rate of the IW1000D?
The IW1000D delivers an impact rate of 0–3,000 beats per minute. A higher impact rate means more hammer blows per second are delivered to the anvil, increasing the speed and efficiency of fastener removal — particularly on seized or heavily corroded nuts and bolts where sustained impact action is needed to break the fastener free.

Is the IW1000D suitable for tyre fitting?
Yes. The IW1000D is specifically suited to tyre fitting applications, with the supplied 17mm, 19mm, 21mm, and 23mm sockets covering the wheel nut sizes of the vast majority of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles encountered in a tyre fitting environment. The 480Nm torque output is more than sufficient for standard wheel nut removal and installation.
