Mini, Nano, Compact & Stubby Impact Wrenches. Top Choices?

[Mr_B]

It's not Sunmake, and no patent on the design shown there. We're coming out with it too with a couple tweaks.

Are you thinking of their standard angle/reach impact wrench?

I seen Sumake one identical to the Hazet besides front cover and grip detail/color which blue for hazet.
Sumake ST-IW7140

I thought they had a patent on this as a development progress from the gearless angle impact .
Does the twin port motor design have any patents ?

Yeah, the motor has it own patent.
They as an OEM have one, but it's not "theirs" so to speak. Just as much as the original design is not ours. We had been working on another one from scratch when we started on this but it's not as refined so we liked this better. Ours (out within this month i believe) just having some differences in the ports/sizes, FWD vs REV bias, blades, exhaust and head angle reaching 170-180°

So no patents on the pivot handle .

Hopefully you'll post a link to it here. I'd be interested in seeing it.

just did a Subaru crank bolt with an Astro 3/8 1828. No issue. Didn't use the miracle Lisle socket either.

Yeah, they aren't involved in our production for this one.
As for Hazet, I'm familiar as they were always going to be coming out with it first in the Euro market, but I'm afraid i can't say.

were they involved in production of your geared air saw.
that thing is a proper effort, was about time better engineering improved the old air saw tool .

Nope. They're an OEM, and OEM may or may not make tools but they also offer a lot of tools internationally from other factories including our ones.
