Both the GWT02 and the GWT03 feature a flexible joint that isolates the battery from the grip to help reduce wear on the battery contacts, and a reinforced gear housing engineered for maximum job site durability. The Impact Wrenches also features a compact length of only 8-3/8"; ideal for working in tight spaces.
