What people talks?
I’ve only used this a few times as I only received it a month or so ago, but so far I am impressed. It’s not a light weight tool. In fact it seems to be built like a tank. But it is well balanced and fairly easy to use with one hand. It has plenty of torque, and the toggle power switch is easy to use, although it may take a little getting used to. I guarantee you will run it the reverse direction of what you want once or twice till you get used to it. wi diy
The wrench seems somewhat powerful, but I found a couple of (maybe frozen?) lugnuts this guy could not take off. It was on a ’03 Corolla (I think using 21 mm nuts), which is not even close to a tank. I don’t know if the car’s lugnuts were put on by impact guns before at a shop, but I had no problems with any of the other lugnuts on that car. rob
I use it on a daily basis and wouldn’t use anything else. Nothing else compares, and I’ve tried snapon, dewalt, and a few other brands. daniel
I bought this to replace my Dewalt heavy duty impact wrench 18v XRP set. I got sick and tired of everytime I needed it – the batteries were dead. Right from the start I have been extremely impressed with this tool, the power is great, I have been working on vehicles and farm equipment for more then 40 years – I used this to remove the 2 1/2″ blade holding nuts from a large bush hog – rusted and pacted with debris, it is hard to believe how fast and efficient this tool is. It is stronger then my previous air impact wrenches and much handier out in the field. Too bad I cannot give it more then 5 stars because it deserves it. With the 18v makita lithium ion batteries – it is always ready to go – even months after the last time it was charged. carnes
