Mechanics 2025 Tool Awards. The W7153 DXS® Cordless 1/2″ Impact Wrench and the H3111
20V Cordless Heat Gun have made their marks in the Power Tools category.
“Winning these awards means we’ve not only created a great product but also distinguished it
from the rest,” said Joshua Johnson, Engineering Director for Power Tools and Lifting at
Ingersoll Rand. “This accomplishment was made possible by our team of skilled engineers and
product managers who dared to think differently from our competitors. It’s a joy to see our
team’s dedication to understanding customer needs and then designing a new tool that

Rand!”
Popular Mechanics has been the authority on how the world works for generations. They bring
their audience the latest news on innovations and inventions across the automotive, DIY,
science, technology, and outdoor spaces. These awards recognize the core values that drive
tool development at Ingersoll Rand: enhancing the work of the end user technician by making
challenging tasks more manageable and delivering consistent results that speak for themselves.

The W7153 1/2″ Cordless Impact Wrench is gearing up for its market debut.
A testament to the Ingersoll Rand design philosophy, this tool breaks the
rules in cordless. Thanks to the patented DXS® Drive Xchange System™,
users can switch out anvils and sockets effortlessly, maintaining peak
performance without power-draining adapters. Delivering up to 1,600 ft-lbs
of breakaway torque, the W7153 is engineered for the most demanding
tasks without compromising on power or the need for additional tools. Its
durable titanium hammer case, patented shadowless 360° LED light, and
first-in-cordless direct hammer lubrication system ensure that this impact
wrench stands up to the toughest jobs. Additionally, the NEW 5 yr. Limited
Warranty stands behind the legendary quality and durability for which
Ingersoll Rand is known.

The H3111 Cordless Heat Gun is a versatile 20V tool that features a
programmable LCD temperature display capable of reaching 1022°F, dual speed
selector up to 10cfm, and twist nozzle ejector to eliminate the need to handle hot
attachments. The dual speed, slide switch allows users to go hands-free, making
quick work of wire repair and shrink tubing jobs. From fixing dents in plastic
bumpers to drying touch-up paint and fillers, or softening adhesives from wheel
weights or vehicle badges and emblems, the H3111 is a valuable and versatile
addition to any technician’s toolbox.
Ingersoll Rand is grateful to those who continue to support our innovation journey
and empower our growth and success.
