Power isn't everything, but is sometimes nice to have. The new Bosch impact wrenches offer 500 ft lb max torque, and a few other upgrades.

Not something I'd have a need for anytime soon, but is a reasonable alternative for those of us w/o large compressors.

That's nice. What is the snappy unit rated at ? Sure makes battery availability alot easier.

That would be a great tool when going to the salvage yard.

wow. That's pretty darn impressive and it sounds like it's a good size too. Wish I had oodles of cash.

620 bolt break-away, 400 max.

A Bosch Factory?

The older one was made in the USA http://www.boschtools.com/Products/Tools/Pages/BoschProductDetail.aspx?pid=21618 . Only one of the new models have been added to their website. I can try to find out if the info isn't available once the new product pages are up.

would be great for a junkyard, but you can buy a compressor and air tools for home with that cash.

A Bosch Factory?

in which country ? I thought i ask before someone else does

 

[Tom2]

About $200 less and I'd buy it right now.

I'm too cheap/poor to ever own a decent cordless impact

Would get a TON of use out of it too..

If the 500 that Bosch is giving is actual torque and not break away then it should be worth it. I am going to take a wild guess that it's made in Malaysia.

Do you have some pics of your tool ? How does it look in reality ? How does it perform compared to an air tool ?
