Matco Tools has launched the next generation of its professional power tool line with the introduction of the REX 2.0 1/2-inch Impact Wrench, featuring increased power, Matco’s latest ergonomic grip technology and an updated design.

Indie Garage has confirmed that select colours are available in Canada now, with full assortment to be available by early 2027.

Building on the original Matco Tools REX Pneumatic Impact Wrench, the next generation delivers more power and features Matco’s latest ergonomic grip technology, combining optimized grip geometry with enhanced textures designed to improve comfort and control during use.

The Matco Tools REX 2.0 raises the bar for 1/2-inch air impact wrenches, boasting 1,900 ft-lbs of breakaway torque – more than any other mobile tool competitor on the market.

Matco Tools REX 2.0 1/2-inch Pneumatic Impact Wrench combines heavy-duty air-tool performance with features engineered around the professional technician:

• More power than the original Matco Tools REX Impact Wrench, delivering up to 1,900 ft-lbs. of breakaway torque to tackle stubborn fasteners.
• Lightweight composite construction to help reduce fatigue while improving maneuverability and access in tight spaces.
• Precision operation, including a variable-speed trigger designed to provide greater control and minimize vibration.
• Matco’s latest ergonomic grip technology, featuring optimized grip geometry and enhanced textures designed to improve comfort and control, paired with a distinctive new Matco design featuring the iconic eagle silhouette on the handle.
• Built for professional use, combining the power air-tool users expect with the durability needed for demanding shop environments.

“We took the power technicians expect from their Impact Wrench and paired it with our latest thinking in ergonomics, control and design. And when you’re launching a tool built to deliver this kind of performance, putting it on a Top Fuel dragster feels right at home.”

“Matco Tools REX 2.0 1/2-inch Impact Wrench represents exactly what we’re focused on at Matco: advancing the tools professionals depend on every day,” said Cameron Richardson, Group President of Matco Tools.
