Get The Most Out of Your Impact Tool

Why DXS® Drive Xchange System™?

The DXS® Drive Xchange System™ was developed for technicians who want the most from their impact guns. DXS® impact tools and equipment allow professionals to configure the drive size and length for optimum power and fit for any demanding task.

What are the benefits of the DXS® Drive Xchange System™?

DXS® eliminates power loss from drive size adapters, anvil extensions, and loose, worn or poorly fitting anvils and impact sockets.

How does the W7153 DXS® High Torque Impact Wrench Compare to the Previous Generation?

The W7153 DXS Impact Wrench retains all the great power and control features of the W7152 and the 30 Lumen Shadowless task light. Size and weight of the tool remains the same, with the additional benefit of available interchangeable drives and direct drive sockets. The W7153 also adds the Direct Lubrication fitting for the hammer mechanism.

How does the W7153 Power Regulator work?

The W7153 has four tightening power control settings and full power reverse. Hand tight, Wrench tight and Mid Torque are all auto-shut off torque settings.

What type of hammer case is used?

The W7153 impact gun incorporates an aluminum hammer case with the same unyielding durability that has made the W7152 legendary in surviving the harshest work environments under continuous use, while remaining light weight.

What type of material is used for the tool motor housing?

Tool housings are made from a proprietary grade of chemical resistant, durable composite.

What type of material is used for the Anvil Release Ring?

The Release Ring is made from a super-tough nylon that is non-marring and can prevent damaging expensive alloy wheels in tire service environments.

How do you lubricate the hammer mechanism on the W7153?

The W7153 cordless impact features a grease fitting accessible behind the anvil. When the anvil is removed the traditional zerk-type fitting is exposed and directly feeds grease lubricate to the hammer and spring mechanism through channel features in the internal drive shaft.

How does the 2236QTiMAX DXS® 1/2" Impact Wrench Compare to the Previous Generation?

The 2236MAX Series Impact Tools are approximately 1/4" shorter, 2 ounces lighter, and 200 ft-lbs stronger than the  2235 1/2" Air Impact Guns.

How did we get more power out of a smaller tool?

A patented cycloidal-shaped motor housing around the rotor and vanes allows for more air to be captured by the vanes as they spin.

How does the 2236 Power Regulator work?

Like all Ingersoll Rand® air impacts, the 2236 power regulator is a forward-only torque regulator. The small dot is the lowest and the large dot is the highest forward power. The tool is always full power (unregulated) reverse.

The regulator significantly reduces the forward torque at the lowest setting to make the tool more useful for low torque when used with the 3/8" Drive (model AH31, sold separately) and for ‘snugging’ tire lug bolts without overtightening.

The forward regulator knob reduces the air flow to the motor rotor by bypassing some incoming air from the supply line directly to the exhaust path.

What type of hammer case is used?

The 2236 Series incorporates a titanium metal hammer case with the same unyielding durability that has made the 2235 Series legendary in surviving the harshest work environments under continuous use, while remaining light weight.

What type of material is used for the tool motor housing?

Tool housings are made from a proprietary grade of chemical resistant, durable composite.

What type of material is used for the Anvil Release Ring, Buttons, and Power Regulator Knob?

The Release Ring, Regulator, and Forward/Reverse buttons are made from a super-tough nylon that is non-marring and can prevent damaging expensive alloy wheels in tire service environments.

What is the process to change DXS® Anvils?

To change DXS® anvils...

1. Rotate the Release Ring (red ring) hole to the left side 3 o'clock position of the tool.
2. Then rotate the anvil to align the indicator arrow on the anvil to this same position.
3. Using the included DXS® tool, small screwdriver, Allen wrench, insert it into the open hole in the ring and depress the anvil retainer pin.
4.  Pull on the anvil to remove.

As you become more proficient in removing and replacing anvils, it can take less than 10 seconds to change out parts.

How are the DXS® anvils constructed?

DXS® impact anvils are crafted from the same proprietary steel material and time-tested processes as our legacy anvils providing superior reliability when compared to other impact wrenches on the market.

What do I use to release the anvil?

Releasing the anvil does not require a special tool. A small screwdriver, Allen wrench, punch, or pick is most often used by technicians.

What is the process to change DXS2™ Sockets?
DXS® Sockets attach to the tool in a way similar to traditional friction ring square drive sockets. Simply push in and pull out to overcome the ball detent that retains them.

To change DXS2™ sockets...

1. Pull on the socket to remove.
2. Align the large spline tooth on the new socket with the corresponding gap on the impact tool.
3. Push the socket to insert.  It will click into place.

How are the DXS2™ sockets constructed?

DXS2™ impact sockets are made from chrome molybdenum (CR-MO) alloy steel for exceptional strength and durability. They meet all the ANSI standards for impact grade sockets.

What do I use to release the socket?

DXS2™ sockets feature a ball nose retention pin that stays in place via spring -fitting.  Removal is quick and tool-free – simply pull the socket to release it from the impact wrench.

What attachments are compatible with DXS®?

• DXS® Anvils are standard square-drive type and may be used with normal sockets and accessories.
• DXS® Sockets are directly driven through the DXS® interface on the tool.
• DXS® uses a proprietary spline-type interface. Only attachments marked with the DXS® logo are compatible.

How do you grease the tool? There is no fitting on the outside.

The grease fitting is in the bottom center behind the removable anvil. This location channels grease directly onto the anvil lugs and hammers to place grease directly where it is needed most and improves the hammer life.

Is the Anvil Release (red ring) removable/replaceable?

Yes, it snap-presses over a shoulder ring on the titanium part of the hammer case and is easily replaceable if needed.
