Chicago Pneumatic Compact Impact Wrench (CP7732)

Chicago Pneumatic’s new CP7732 impact wrench is a super-compact stubby 1/2″ air impact wrench that looks great for working in cramped spaces, such as engine bays.

The new impact delivers up to 450 ft-lbs (5400 in-lbs) of torque, weighs 2.9 lbs, and measures just 4.4″ in length. It also features a one-handed trigger, 3 torque settings, and a forward/reverse switch.

Chicago Pneumatic says that, since this tool is shorter than your hand, anywhere your hand can fit, so can the CP7732! Another selling point is how the impact can easily move between right and left hands.

First Thoughts

The new Chicago Pneumatic impact wrench is reasonably powerful while being exceptionally lightweight and compact.

According to CopTool, the blogging arm of Ohio Power Tool and the place we first learned about the new super-compact impact wrench, the CP7732 stubby impact has been a hit with professional users. It’s easy to see why – the new stubby impact is versatile without any obvious sacrifices.

$125 is decent for what you get, and is about the same price point as other leading 1/2″ impact wrenches.
