Zubr nutrunners: varieties and application features

An impact wrench is an electrical tool designed to tighten and unscrew nuts. Quite often, such a device is used in tire and other repair shops. On the market you can find many tools of this direction from various manufacturers. The model range of Zubr nutrunners is of great interest to buyers. What are these devices and how to use them, let's figure it out.

Zubr is a domestic brand under which various power tools are produced. It was founded at the beginning of the 2000s, and during its existence it has conquered not only the domestic market, but also entered the world level. Among the products offered by TM "Zubr" are various construction tools, garden products, fasteners and, of course, wrenches.

The Zubr wrench is, rather, a professional tool that can be used very little in everyday life, since we rarely unscrew and tighten the nuts at home, except when changing wheels on a car. But some still buy this device for themselves.

The Zubr nut runner has a number of advantages.

• High quality. Strict control at all stages of production, as well as serious acceptance of each product, allows only high-quality copies to reach the buyer.
• Price. The price for Zubr wrenches is quite democratic, the tool is available to a large segment of the population of our country.

To select the Zubr nutrunner, there are several aspects to pay attention to.

• Where will you work. All nutrunners of this brand can be divided into two types: rechargeable and powered by an electrical network. If you are going to operate the instrument near a location where there is an outlet, then it is better to give preference to the network model. But if you have to work, for example, on the street outside the electrified area, then you cannot do without a battery model. True, the battery will need to be charged in advance.
• What kind of work will you do. For professional use, choose powerful, high-torque models. In everyday life, simpler modifications are also suitable.
• What screwing speed is needed. For faster work, opt for devices with a percussion type mechanism. Their speed is several times higher than that of conventional impact wrenches.
• Price. The cost of the unit plays an important role in the choice. It all depends on the amount that you are willing to pay for this product. So, the most budgetary model will cost you 3 thousand rubles, while a professional wrench will cost around 7 thousand.rubles.
• Convenience. The wrench must be ergonomic. You should be comfortable with their work.

In the line of Zubr nutrunners, several modifications are presented today. Here are the most popular ones.

Another rechargeable model. The battery capacity here is 1.5 A * h. But the device comes with another additional battery, which allows you to increase the operating time of the device without recharging. Like the previous model, it has an illuminated work area and is sold in a convenient suitcase.

It is not difficult to work with Zubr nutrunners. Anyone can handle them. But nevertheless, before working with this device, you need to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the instruction manual. Since the use of a battery or mains unit is not much different, consider the operation of a battery operated nutrunner.

Initially, after purchasing the device, you should properly charge the battery. To do this, you need to install it on the charger, which is sold in the kit, and leave it for 5 hours for a full set of capacity.

Next, we install the battery into the device. This must be done carefully, inserting it into a special compartment until it clicks. Then you need to select the appropriate bit that you will use and install it on the unit. The impact wrench is ready to work. Please note that the first 2-3 times you need to go through full charge and discharge cycles of the battery. This will allow the battery to reach its maximum capacity.

In order for the tool to work for a long time, it needs to be periodically serviced. Wipe the wrench from dust, lubricate the engine. Only use oil for lubrication specially designed for pneumatic motors. A conventional machine will not work here, since it has a high viscosity, the engine blades can simply stick together and it will fail.

Reviews of the Zubr nutrunners are mostly good. Buyers say the tool is excellent value for money. It does an excellent job of handling nuts. The battery model can be carried with you in the car: if you suddenly need to change a wheel on the road, an assistant will be at hand.
