Impact wrench "Likota" - advantages and disadvantages
Professional car mechanics choose this pneumatic tool for a set of qualities:
- double impact mechanism, parts of which are made of composite materials;
- usually the tool has three degrees of torque adjustment, allowing you to perform work of varying degrees of subtlety (slightly different from electrical counterparts);
- wrenches are balanced, due to which workers get tired less;
- equipment "Likota" has a patented scheme for venting air through the handle, which reduces the noise level (pneumatic wrench "Likota" paw-06027 makes a little more noise than two times weaker models of other brands);
- brand sales grow annually due to the attractive cost of products;
- A well-thought-out filtration system prevents mechanical particles from getting inside, which is why the Licota pneumatic impact wrench works longer than its counterparts.
Power is another reason to buy equipment: the paw-10055s, paw-10048 models produce 2439 and 2034 Nm of torque, being half the price of competitors. The “deformed” paw-10048s at 1283 Nm is even more attractively priced.
Disadvantages of Likota equipment:
- there are cases of deformation of the lock nut, which makes it difficult to remove the head from the Licota impact pneumatic wrench;
- the delivery set does not include heads, adapters, extension cords, they have to be purchased separately, according to the article;
- powerful models (especially paw-06026 and 06025-8) require high-quality oil, which must be marked for pneumatic, and certificates of conformity;
- for normal operation of a pneumatic wrench, an air receiver of at least 100 liters is needed (and when using type 06026 - at least 200 liters), the presence of a dehumidifier is important (otherwise repairs are inevitable).
Is it worth your money
There are few cons. Users consider them to be insignificant. Today, the Likota pneumatic impact wrench is the most affordable equipment of this class. There are repair kits for all models, a detailed manual from Licota helps to avoid errors during operation.

Thus, types paw 10048, paw-06002 and paw-06034 (outputting from 113 to 130 kg/m) are 2,5-4 times cheaper than their competitors, being part of the pro series.
