A company with a history
The history of EL-MAX Nutrunner stretches way back. As is so often the case, it started in a small garage.
With the idea of making it easier to loosen especially tight wheel nuts on the lorries of the time, the foundation was laid for the revolutionary machine still manufactured today.
EL-MAX Nutrunner AB has been manufacturing impact wrenches for over 50 years in order to realise the vision of simplifying work in the world’s workshops. With care and knowledge, we continue tirelessly to help you secure every wheel you work on.
Quality in every stage of the process
Quality and knowledge have always been guiding lights in all our manufacturing work. In order to ensure a product from EL--MAX always meets the high requirements for which we are famous, each stage in the manufacturing process undergoes checks as per standardised norms. But despite all those criteria, the most important thing is that the product functions after a long period of use.
That is the real proof we have succeeded. It’s there that your comments as a user carry the most weight. It is another aspect of our quality you can rely on.

EL-MAX is not afraid of any tough jobs. It is still one of the most well-balanced, functional and easy-to-handle impact wrenches available. It spares you the toughest parts of the job, while you control its work through a few simple operations.
2. Ergonomic
EL-MAX stands for ergonomics with an entirely vibration-free action. The sound level is pleasingly low. All controls are easily accessible so work is rapid and effective. You can use one hand to adjust the working height, while the other controls the tool operation. That means you can get maximum performance with minimum physical stress.
3. Economic
It ought to be obvious that a machine should be as worry-free to own as it is to use. It should not cost you any extra to service or repair either. We think that signifies quality. Together, this guarantees excellent, stoppage-free total economy, year after year.
4. Strong
An ingenious mechanism with flywheels transfers all the power to the tool in an instant. Fixed impact values provide continuously increasing torque, and you always know how much force is being applied for each impact. In trials to measure maximum capacity, EL-MAX has achieved higher torque values than can be registered by the measurement equipment.
5. Flexible
Universal joints and replaceable sockets mean EL-MAX can tackle all types of heavy vehicle wheel, regardless of the type of nut. Standard sockets are available in dimensions from 17 to 46 mm. For special purposes there is a plentiful selection of special sockets.
6. Operational reliability
EL-MAX Nutrunner is as good as maintenance-free - a strong and reliable partner. All in all, electrical power makes it both quiet and reliable. A minimal service requirement contributes to high efficiency and function.

Nutrunner - in a nutshell
It’s easy to understand how EL-MAX impact wrenches became a valued tool in many of Europe’s tyre workshops.
It makes the strenuous work associated with heavy vehicle wheels so much easier, quieter and simpler. Anyone who hasn’t yet discovered that the actual work of loosening the most rusted-on wheel nuts can be comfortable and uncomplicated obviously hasn’t tried EL-MAX Nutrunner.
With safe and quiet electrical operation as part of a carefully considered design, it’s a machine for superior function and user-friendliness.
There’s no nut that it can’t move, and no user that would exchange his EL-MAX Nutrunner for something else.
No more sore backs, knees or hands
EL-MAX Nutrunner gives you a natural working position, and at the same time all heavy torque is eliminated. Compared with air-driven alternatives, EL-MAX is a quiet, vibration-free machine that gives you the ideal working environment.
A user’s dream?
EL-MAX unites a comfortable working position with raw strength. All torques are checked at an easy working height without vibrations, making EL-MAX the natural choice for a good working environment.
EL-MAX impact wrenches are based on tried and tested technology. They are based on the same principles as were used when the first model came out in the 1950s. It was mechanics that did more than just prove its effectiveness and practicality.
