Le Lematec LE-ID413 Air Impact Driver | 13,000 RPM, 40 ft-lb, 1/4" Hex Quick-Change
LE-ID413 Air Impact Driver — 13,000 RPM, Twin Hammer, 1/4" Hex Quick-Change
The Le Lematec LE-ID413 is a pneumatic impact driver — not an impact wrench. It uses a 1/4" hex quick-change chuck for driver bits (Phillips, Torx, hex, square) and delivers 40 ft-lb of twin-hammer impact torque at 13,000 RPM. The result: screws and fasteners driven at production speed without overtightening, in a 159mm body that fits where cordless drivers can't.
Air Impact Driver vs. Impact Wrench: What's the Difference?
An impact driver uses a 1/4" hex bit chuck and delivers rotational torque for driving screws, bolts, and fasteners. An impact wrench uses a socket drive (1/2" or 3/8") and delivers much higher torque for lug nuts and large bolts. The LE-ID413 at 40 ft-lb is ideal for assembly, panel work, and precision fastening where you need controlled torque without overtightening.
Key Features
- 13,000 RPM Free Speed: Fastest impact driver in the Le Lematec lineup — drives screws and fasteners at production speed
- 40 ft-lb Twin Hammer Torque: Drives fasteners that stall regular screwdrivers — tackles hardwood, steel, and concrete anchors
- 1/4" Hex Quick-Change Chuck: Swap driver bits instantly without chucks or collets — no tools needed for bit changes
- Compact 159mm Length: One-hand operation in tight spaces — fits where cordless drivers can't reach
- Lightweight at 0.74 kg (1.6 lbs): Reduces fatigue during repetitive fastening on assembly lines and construction
- Low Air Requirement: Only 4 CFM at 90 PSI — runs on most mid-size shop compressors

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of bits does this impact driver accept?
The LE-ID413 accepts standard 1/4" hex shank bits — Phillips, flathead, Torx, hex, and square drive. Any standard impact-rated bit set will work.
Can I use this for automotive work?
Yes, for screw-type fasteners: interior trim screws, underhood Phillips and Torx fasteners, self-tapping sheet metal screws, and license plate bolts. For lug nuts and suspension bolts, use a 1/2" impact wrench with sockets instead.
What compressor do I need?
The LE-ID413 requires 4 CFM at 90 PSI. Most shop compressors (20+ gallon) will run this tool continuously. Smaller portable compressors (6-gallon) will work with brief pauses for tank recovery.
What's the difference between an impact driver and an impact wrench?
An impact driver uses a 1/4" hex chuck for driver bits (screws, Torx, hex) — it is a screw-driving tool. An impact wrench uses a square drive for sockets (bolts, lug nuts) — it is a bolt-removal tool. The LE-ID413 is an impact driver for high-speed screw driving. For lug nuts and bolts, use the 1/2" impact wrench instead.
