  • Don’t read, just hit the buy it now.
Size: 1/2-Inch
I don’t write reviews as all, but I’ve been using this for a month or so in a mining environment that’s about as abusive to tools and equipment as it gets. I use this for tight spaces I can’t easily fit larger impacts on. It mostly gets used with 3/4”, 1 1/8” up to 1 5/16” sockets and gets just hammered on relentlessly. It’s often buried under fine dust , mud ,rocks and water. It’s been a little champ! It’s by far my favorite tool to use and much easier to carry around then our high dollar battery impacts. The anvil has started to round off a bit and the hog ring has already lost a lot of retention, but it shows no signs of slowing down. I don’t fault the tool for This as I’m definitely using it far out of its design envelope.It seems every bit as well built as IR. A cheap Rebuild kit would the the last part to really take it over the edge. The boot is well made and fitting ,worth the extra money. ... show more

  • Best thing out there
Size: 1/2-Inch
Been using this for a few years. Have done truck CV axles, brakes, and removed the front differential and power steering column. Did everything without drama, except for the steering column because it had loctite. Super powerful, and best of all, super compact. Buy it. It's all you probably need

  • Works great.
Size: 1/2-Inch
The media could not be loaded. I finally got to use this impact for the first time today when replacing the lower control arms on a Nissan Titan. I know it's not really designed for suspension work but I wanted to see what it would do and while it's not as strong as my bigger Nitrocats (who would expect it to be) it did wonderful. Lug nuts at 90-it didn't even have to try, ball joint pinch bolts-barely had to hit them and they where flying off, shock absorber bolts came right out, everything was 19mm-22mm head, with that I am not in the rust belt but normal corrosion on the bolts from time. I honestly don't understand some of the lower rated reviews on this impact but maybe I got lucky????? I also only use Milton high flow fittings at ALL of my connections (your air flow is only as good as it's weakest link so anything that's not high flow will kill air flow)I use a 35 gallon Dayton compressor with a single stage 11.5cfm compressor pump running at 90psi at the regulator, 10' of 1/2" piping (1/2" inlet/outlet pressure regulator-inline oiler) and a 50'-3/8" hose, max tank pressure 110psi. So as you can see my system isn't high end and still runs this impact and any of my other air tools with ease. So if you are having issue's with your air tools please consider taking the time to read a bit about proper piping/fittings and hoses for your tools and you may be surprised at how well you can make your air supply work. Update: I uploaded a video to show this impact removing lugs nuts. In the video I say 90 ft-lbs and that was my mistake for assuming Hyundai had torqued them to spec when my father in law had taken it there to have it worked on, I used a torque wrench on the other side and the lug nuts where actually breaking loose between 105-110 ft-lbs. The impact when I am using it in the video is actually below recommended air pressure since I am only running 90psi at the reg and it will drop by the time it goes through a 50' 3/8" hose. I'm planning to run a 1/2" I.D. hose then adapt to a 3/8" the last 10' in order to pick up volume and help keep the pressure drop from happening. ... show more

  • Better than standard impacts, due to size
Size: 1/2-Inch
I had to do suspension work on my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7L pickup. This made mincemeat of the work I had to do. My 13, 11, and 7 year olds used this!!! (Granted, they had supervision and guidance from dear old Dad. Hey, I'm getting wore out; I have to pass this on to my kids!!! :-D I did one side in 3-4 hours: upper control arm, lower control arm balljoint, tierod end, and shock absorber, which included removing the axle hub nut. This tool did it all. I had a CH impact wrench some time ago that was useful for lugnuts and maybe the lower bolt for the shocks. This tool was compact, powerful, and had enough weight to not destroy your hand. The only complaint, a minor one, is the packaging it came in was poor, a mere cloth bag, which in hindsight, explains the low cost of the tool. I don't care about that LOL EXCELLENT tool!!! ... show more
