Chicago Pneumatic Offers New 2 Year Guarantee

Chicago Pneumatic (CP) has introduced a new two year guarantee on what it says are some of the market’s favourite tools. The move doubles the warranty period on the company’s original “Classic” range of tools. This new Classic range is a collection of all the well known vehicle service tools in the CP range that customers regard as essential to their business and forms the initial part of the company’s complete redesign of its entire product portfolio in due course.

Included in this Classic collection are tools such as the CP734H half inch impact wrench which features Dyna-Pact oil bath clutch and one-handed push button forward/reverse with four positive power settings to deliver a smooth operation and extreme durability.

Other tools in the Classic range include the CP797 one inch super duty impact wrench, the undisputed market leader that specialises in high volume work on trucks and buses with a rocking dog clutch, teasing throttle and convenient reverse valve for high performance and durability. The CP828 3/8 inch and CP828 half inch heavy duty ratchet gives easy access to restricted areas and offers easy grip reverse for simple directional changes along with a patented TriSpring, anti-slip head design and hardened gears for impressive power and speed.

Mark Hammond, CP’s marketing manager commented: “We currently offer over 500 products with many industry leaders in the workshop and this latest extended warranty guarantee of our Classic range underlines CP’s complete confidence in our tools as being versatile, durable and powerful.”

“The CP7749 half inch heavy duty impact wrench, with S2S Technology, is the market’s most convenient one handed impact wrench design. The operator can change between forward and reverse with one hand in any position, resulting in less stress & fatigue on operator’s wrist and arm. The tool’s composite handle and magnesium clutch housing also decreases the weight of the tool (net weight 1.98kg) and improves the overall balance. Coupled with full reverse power up to 725ft-Ibs (983Nm) and the support of a two year warranty, it makes the CP7749 the ultimate half inch impact wrench,” he explained

According to company representatives, CP is planning to release an all new industrial tool range towards the end of 2010. This is said to represent the next phase of the CP redesign programme which will be completed early next year when the entire product portfolio (excluding “Classic” Range) will be simplified and presented in just one colour scheme – black and red.

Since its launch in 1901, CP has developed a well established reputation for manufacturing and distributing an extensive range of pneumatic tools for the vehicle service and industrial maintenance industries.
