Overview
This HTS classification, 8467.29.00.40, specifically encompasses hand-held tools that are designed for driving screws, nuts, and bolts, functioning as screwdrivers, nut-runners, and impact wrenches. These tools are characterized by their self-contained electric motors, meaning they operate independently without the need for external pneumatic or hydraulic power sources. The primary function of these items is to apply torque for fastening or loosening threaded fasteners.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, such as grinders, polishers, sanders, routers, planers, grass trimmers, and electropneumatic hammers, is crucial. While all fall under the broader umbrella of hand-held power tools with self-contained electric motors, 8467.29.00.40 is narrowly defined by its rotational torque application for fastener manipulation. Other sibling categories are dedicated to material removal (grinders, sanders, routers, planers) or cutting and shaping vegetation (trimmers/edgers), or impact-driven percussive action for drilling into hard materials (electropneumatic hammers).
As a leaf node in the HTS classification system, 8467.29.00.40 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, practical classification relies on identifying tools whose principal design and intended use is that of a powered screwdriver, nut-runner, or impact wrench. This includes a wide range of electric screwdrivers, cordless impact drivers, and powered nut-runners commonly found in automotive repair, construction, and general assembly applications.
