Abstract: An angular impact wrench is disclosed. The angular impact wrench can comprise a lever that is rotatable about a pivot axis and a reciprocably movable ram that is operatively arranged with the lever to rotate the lever. The lever includes a concave contact surface that is positioned to receive a convex contact surface of the ram. The convex contact surface of the ram is engageable with the concave contact surface of the lever. The lever, in turn, is connected to a drive that is suitable for receiving a socket, for example. The rotatable lever transmits the linear movement of the ram to a rotational movement, thereby imparting a torque to the drive suitable for loosening or tightening a fastener. In some embodiments of the angular impact wrench, the wrench is a removable component suitable for connection to a standard air hammer. In other embodiments, the angular impact wrench of the present invention is an integral unit that is directly connectable to a power source, such as a source of compressed air.
