Good tool for little work

Decent power and good quality batteries that last. Light duty.

bought this 12/23 and did research i was going to get the milwaukee 3/8 but didn't like the tork to me too much for what work i'm using this on cars 10 to 14mm bolts or nuts and when using these guns you don't need alot of tork remove or tightening bolts , so if too much you might strip or break something and turn that into a day project fixing that broke bolt or screw . but the reason i'm here is because i've been using for a while and remembered lots of people saying this gun was weaker than the ratchet which is not true i was doing a brake job and the ratchet could not take the bolts off so i grabbed the gun and with no problems it took them off then i tried takin off the brake pad holder (which i had to break the torx bolt first with a breaker bar) but bolts had loctite on them ,so tried using ratchet again and it could not loosen so put the gun on and took off with no problems this was on a jeep renegade so just wanted to let you know both have their advantages both are good quality and stong enough to use on automotive and already had 2 fiends buy both also

Lightweight, good battery life and good power

Ive used it on five jobs and so far so good. I love that its so small and it comes with two batteries. It is pretty torquey but probably not 90ft. The batteries charge fast. I did have the same issue other people complained about which was the they had issues putting 3/8 sockets on it and taking them. Theres a metal ring that wraps around the endWhich holds the socket on i just used a set of pliers to compress it tighter and i put a bit of grease on it. The sockets are still hard to put on and off but it works better now.

Good product

While not that strong, it is still impressive and can spin lug nuts on where you only have to torque the last 30 degrees of turn. Broke all bolts loose on a water pump replacement on a single charge. Broke all bolts loose on a front end brake job (except lug nuts and caliper bracket). Overall, this tool was very impressive and a great price!

this is a nice impact wrench - it fits in your hand easy, batteries will last a long time too. however do not count on it to open those wheel lug nuts- not enough power. tried it quite a few times and it could not open lug nuts on my jeep that could be opened with a large wrench. rusty ones are not possible to open at all. same for other bolts. so i guess it is nice to have if you can loosen the bolts and then use the impact wrench as a time saver. another complaint is that the head is a bit too large for the sockets. so they are a bit hard to extract .
