LEXINGTON, S.C., Oct. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cleco® has introduced its new family of industrial air impact wrenches, engineered specifically for all-day use in applications ranging from general assembly and plant maintenance to shipbuilding and heavy equipment manufacturing. The new product family is available in three series: the CWC Premium Composite Series, the CWM Premium Metal Series and the CV Value-featured Composite Series. Each model offers excellent durability, industry-leading torque performance and world-class ergonomics.

"Our new industrial air impact wrenches have been completely redesigned through voice-of- customer and tested extensively in challenging environments and heavy industries," says Jackson Wang, global product manager, Apex Tool Group. "We also focused on providing the most well- defined and streamlined product offering, making it easier for customers to identify and implement the perfect tool for their application. "

The CWC Premium Composite Series delivers the optimal combination of productivity, ergonomics and durability.

A durable twin hammer mechanism and industrial grade bearings further ensure that the CWC Series can provide lasting performance.

The CWM Premium Metal Series is engineered for heavy-duty applications in the most demanding environments. Rugged all-metal construction has been tested extensively against dropping, dragging and abuse, while a large reverse lever makes tool adjustments easy, even with gloves on. Available in 3/8-, ½- and ¾-inch drive sizes, the CWM Series delivers the most power of the Cleco impact wrench family and tackles the toughest applications.

The CV Value Composite Series is ideal for general industrial applications, repair and maintenance. Lightweight, balanced and comfortable for the operators, the CV series can be easily integrated in an all-day assembly environment.
