The Fein 99100001557 ASB 18 Q AS is a battery-powered impact wrench designed for professional applications, operating with an 18-volt battery system. This tool features brushless motor technology, which enhances efficiency and extends operating time compared to models with brushed motors. The impact mechanism generates up to 180 Newton meters of maximum torque, making it suitable for driving screws and fasteners into demanding materials such as wood, metal, and masonry. With a compact design of approximately 200 millimeters in length and a weight of around 1.2 kilograms without the battery, it offers balanced handling for extended use. The variable-speed trigger allows for precise control from 0 to 2,800 revolutions per minute, while the impact rate reaches up to 3,200 blows per minute for challenging fastening tasks. It is equipped with a quick-change bit holder for 6.35-millimeter bits (1/4 inch), enabling fast bit changes. The ergonomic soft-grip handle reduces vibration transfer and enhances user comfort. This model is delivered without a battery and charger, so compatible Fein 18-volt lithium-ion batteries and charging equipment must be purchased separately. The electronic cell protection prevents battery damage from deep discharge, and the tool maintains consistent performance under various load conditions. It is suitable for construction, installation, and maintenance professionals seeking reliable battery-powered screw performance with Fein's engineering standards for durability in industrial environments.
