Mac Tools Aw360 Pneumatic Impact Wrench Appraisal

Mac Tools AW360 Pneumatic Impact Wrench

The item is a Mac Tools AW360 pneumatic impact wrench, an air-powered tool designed for fastening and loosening nuts and bolts with high torque output. It features a robust construction with a red painted metal body for the main handle and motor housing, and a silver-colored metallic front section that encases the anvil and impact mechanism. The red paint shows significant wear, scuffs, and chips, indicative of heavy use in a workshop environment. Dirt and grime are visible on both the red and silver components. The front silver section has a ribbed or grooved design for heat dissipation and grip. The handle is ergonomically shaped with finger grooves, providing a secure grip, and has a visible "Mac Tools" logo molded or stamped into the side near the base. A trigger mechanism is positioned for easy activation. Connected to the base of the handle is an air inlet, which appears to be a quick-connect fitting, likely a standard 1/4-inch NPT pneumatic fitting. An additional fitting, possibly an air swivel or regulator, is attached to the inlet, also bearing the "Mac Tools" logo, allowing for flexible hose connection without twisting. The overall condition suggests that while it has been well-used, it is still operational. The anvil is a square drive, likely 1/2-inch, but this is not definitively clear from the image. The tool exhibits signs of a working life, including grease stains and overall patina consistent with a tool of its age and intended use in an automotive or industrial setting. No major cracks or structural damage are immediately apparent, suggesting it has been maintained despite cosmetic wear. The model number "AW360" is clearly visible on the red housing.
