The “Hyper Tough” branded impact wrench sold at Walmart represents a specific offering within the power tool market. It is designed as a power tool intended for applications requiring high torque output, such as loosening or tightening bolts and nuts in automotive repair, construction, and other mechanical tasks. These tools typically utilize a powered mechanism to deliver short, powerful bursts of rotational force.
The appeal of such a tool often lies in its accessibility and affordability, providing an entry point for users who may not require the capabilities or durability of higher-end professional models. Historically, pneumatic (air-powered) impact wrenches were the standard, but cordless electric models have gained popularity due to their portability and convenience, eliminating the need for an air compressor and hoses.
