Impact driver Einhell IMPAXXO 18/230, 2900 RPM, 230 N⋅m, 18 V

The Einhell IMPAXXO 18/230 cordless impact wrench is a compact battery-powered tool designed for quick loosening and tightening of wheel nuts and long screws. Powered by the maintenance-free Einhell PurePOWER brushless motor, it delivers high torque and longer runtime compared with conventional brushed motors. As a member of the Power X-Change family it uses 18 V lithium-ion batteries (battery and charger not included). The tool features a robust metal gearbox, a 1/2" square drive, integrated LED work light and a quick-stop function for fast accessory changes, while its lightweight 1.17 kg pistol-grip design improves handling during extended use.

Advantages

The brushless PurePOWER motor provides increased power, longer running time and reduced maintenance with a 10-year warranty when registered online. The unit’s high maximum torque (230 N⋅m) and 2900 rpm no-load speed allow efficient loosening of tight or rusted nuts. A durable metal gearbox and impact mechanism deliver strong performance while reducing torsional stress on the wrist. The LED light ensures visibility in low-light conditions and the included bit adapter expands functionality to screwdriver bits.

Suitable for

• Changing tyres and loosening/tightening wheel nuts
• Screwing long bolts and heavy-duty fastening tasks
• Garage and workshop maintenance work
• Mobile and on-site automotive care using Power X-Change batteries

How to use

Fit a compatible Power X-Change 18 V battery (sold separately) into the tool until it locks. Select the appropriate socket or insert a screwdriver bit into the supplied bit adapter and attach it to the 1/2" square drive. Choose rotation direction (clockwise to tighten, counter-clockwise to loosen) and apply the impact wrench to the fastener, holding the pistol grip firmly. Use short bursts if the nut is stuck and let the impact mechanism work rather than forcing the tool. The integrated LED can be switched on to illuminate the work area. After use, remove the battery and store the tool and accessories in a dry place.

Recommendations

Use the IMPAXXO 18/230 with suitable 18 V Power X-Change batteries and the correct-size sockets. Wear eye protection and gloves when working on wheels. For seized or heavily corroded nuts, inspect the fastener and hub for damage and consider penetrating lubricant or professional service if necessary. Do not exceed the tool’s intended torque applications and avoid continuous high-load operation to prolong motor and gearbox life.
