TEX 291W - Impact Wrench - ½” sq. drive by Atlas Copco

TEX 291W Impact Wrench - 1/2” Square Drive by Atlas Copco

The Atlas Copco TEX 291W Impact Wrench is a compact pneumatic impact wrench built for fastening, loosening, and maintenance work where dependable air-powered torque matters. With a 1/2” square drive, 370 Nm of torque, 7300 RPM speed, and 36 CFM air demand, the TEX 291W gives shops, service crews, contractors, and industrial maintenance teams a strong balance of power, control, and manageable tool size.

This Atlas Copco impact wrench is designed for users who need a lightweight air tool that can still handle demanding bolt work. The TEX 291W is especially useful for material maintenance, equipment service, mechanical repair, general industrial fastening, and construction-related pneumatic tool applications. It plugs into a properly sized compressed air supply and delivers fast impact action without the heat, battery limitations, or weight penalties that can come with some electric alternatives.

Why the TEX 291W Works Well in the Field

The TEX 291W is built around a twin-hammer impact mechanism, giving it the rapid striking action needed for real fastening and loosening work. Twin-hammer tools are valued because they deliver repeated impact energy through the drive, helping break loose stubborn fasteners and run down bolts quickly. On this model, that impact system is paired with a 1/2” square drive, making it compatible with common 1/2” impact sockets used across many shops and service environments.

The 370 Nm torque rating gives the TEX 291W useful working power without turning it into an oversized, awkward tool. It is not just about maximum torque. In day-to-day work, size, grip feel, air demand, and speed all matter. At 7300 RPM, this pneumatic impact wrench is built for fast run-down and efficient workflow, helping reduce time spent on repetitive fastening tasks.

Compact, Lightweight, and Easy to Handle

Atlas Copco positions its impact wrenches as low-weight tools with powerful output and an ergonomic pistol grip. That matters when the tool is used repeatedly through the workday. The TEX 291W’s pistol-handle layout gives the operator a familiar, direct grip position, while the compact body makes it easier to work around machinery, vehicles, brackets, equipment frames, and other tight work areas.

The tool’s listed 3.0 lb weight helps keep hand fatigue down compared with heavier pneumatic impact options. For a maintenance department, service truck, compressor-powered work station, or rental fleet, that makes the TEX 291W a practical middle-ground choice: enough power for serious work, but still easy enough to handle for repeated use.

Built for Compressed Air Workflows

The TEX 291W runs on compressed air and requires 36 CFM. This is an important spec to pay attention to because impact wrench performance depends heavily on proper air supply. A restricted air line, undersized hose, weak compressor, or poor fittings can reduce torque and speed. For best results, pair this tool with a compressor and air system capable of maintaining the required flow at the working pressure needed for the job.

Atlas Copco’s technical data lists a 10 mm recommended hose size and 1/4” BSP air inlet for this tool family. Clean, dry, properly regulated air helps protect pneumatic tools and keeps performance consistent. Use proper air line filtration and lubrication practices based on Atlas Copco maintenance guidance and your shop’s compressed air setup.

Best Uses for the Atlas Copco TEX 291W

The TEX 291W is a strong fit for:

• Equipment service and repair
• General industrial maintenance
• Fastener removal and installation
• Construction equipment upkeep
• Fabrication shop maintenance
• Pneumatic workstations
• Fleet and machinery service

The 1/2” square drive makes it a practical option where common impact sockets are already in use. The combination of 370 Nm torque, 7300 RPM speed, and 36 CFM air consumption makes it a capable pneumatic impact wrench for jobs that need fast, repeatable performance from a trusted industrial tool brand.

What Stands Out

1. 370 Nm Torque
   The TEX 291W gives solid torque output for a compact 1/2” pneumatic impact wrench.
2. 7300 RPM Speed
   High free speed helps with fast run-down and efficient fastening work.
3. 36 CFM Air Demand
   The clearly stated air requirement makes it easier to match the tool to the right compressor setup.
4. 1/2” Square Drive
   Works with widely used 1/2” impact sockets for broad shop and service compatibility.
5. Atlas Copco Construction-Grade Design
   Built for the kind of demanding pneumatic tool use expected from Atlas Copco equipment.

The Atlas Copco TEX 291W Impact Wrench is a dependable air-powered impact wrench for users who need compact handling, strong torque, and fast pneumatic performance. With 370 Nm of torque, 7300 RPM speed, 36 CFM air consumption, and a 1/2” square drive, it is built to support serious fastening and maintenance work without unnecessary bulk. For a shop, service truck, field crew, or industrial air system, the TEX 291W is a practical, durable impact wrench ready for regular compressed air tool use.
