AC Delco ARl2023 1/2" cordless impact

[chris6278]

Has anybody used this thing? A co worker just got one and this thing is a beast. It has the same specs as IRs W7150 an we compared it with my W7150 and its just as strong if not alittle stronger. I was very impressed with it. He only paid like $280 off amazon and it comes with 2 batteries. So if someone is looking for a 1/2" cordless with the same power of the W7150 for alot cheaper than this would be a great buy

The ARI2060 looks interesting. A digital clutch is pretty cool.

Haven't tried the AC Delco stuff yet, but looking forward to it.

The AC Delco cordless tools are made by the company Durofix. They even show the Ac Delco logo on the company's home page.

I have a Flex branded impact also made by Durofix and I've been happy with it. I think most of the Durofix stuff sold in the US is private labeled

I didn't look too hard on the Durofix website to see if they have the OP's impact listed.

Here's an example of the AC Delco and Durofix clones.

I looked on the durofix site and found their version of the one i mentioned. The torque isnt rated quite as high as the ac delco version but isnt far from it. I just couldnt believe how powerful the one my coworker had. Its ever bit as strong as my IR W7150. I know the IR gun is hard to get right now so u could get this one for alot less money and have the same power. Btw the durofix version model number is Rl2023

What have you tried the AC on that made it seem more powerful than the W7150? Axle nut? Crank bolts?

Im not sayin its more powerful its just as strong. Theres this old junk wrecker that we tightened the lugnuts on it with 3/4" snapon air impact. We let it hammer on the lugnuts for about 5 secs or so and it zipped them just as fast as the w7150 and his snapon cordless wouldnt touch them they were so tight. I know thats not the best way to test the power on it and he just got it so he hasnt used it really on anything so we will see how it holds up. All im sayin is that for a 1/2" cordless for under $300 u cant beat it

Hello,
I'm the Sales Manager for both ACDelco and Durofix tools in N. America, you are correct, we have some cross over with our products. For the most part, our general objective is to have the Durofix product focused on the contractor and the ACDelco line is focused on the professional mechanic.
Without going into to much detail I'll say we have been quietly manufacturing power tools for @ 30 years for most of the major brands, I'll bet you have a tool or more of ours already. We decided to do our own line and partnered with ACDelco.

As for the torque, all I can say is test it for yourself, no cordless tool will beat our ARI2023 or ARI2060 in torque, the ARI2061B pictured is a bit lower on torque but very compact and super lightweight, it will get into very tight spaces.

We are working as fast as possible to come out with professional tools for guys who make a living with their hands, we are less money because your not paying for our name. We have a great warranty...at least we think so.

Check out the reviews on YouTube, review our website and after you use our tools, if they are not what we said they were, both the pneumatic and cordless, return them for a refund...so far we have had very few returned.

Thanks!

, no cordless tool will beat our ARI2023 or ARI2060 in torque,

That's quite a bold claim! What impact guns have you guys tested thus far? I've used almost every cordless impact on the market so far, minus the AC Delco, and it would be very surprising if it's more powerful than the W7150, which is unbelievably powerful.

I really like the AC R45 spark plugs

I have the IR W7150 an my coworker has the AC Delco as i first mentioned when i started this thread awhile an the AC Delco is just as strong as the IR. Im NOT saying its stronger but its about the same. Its an awesome gun especially for the money. If i didnt have the IR id get it in a second

It will be interesting how well they hold up. Are replacement batteries readily available?

It would be if I said we beat them, what I was saying in my comment is no others beat us, in other words models like the W7150 tie with us when tested on a Skidmore.

 

[twobschall]

Yes, all tools come with two Li-Ion batteries and replacements are available.
