That's pretty torquey for a small package like that. 700 in-lbs is 58 ft-lbs, that's more than most air ratchets!

I actually just used mine today to remove the skid plate and loosen the idler pulleys on my truck so I could change the belts. I don't have an air ratchet so I bought this as a substitute. I've been very happy with it. Still have my spare too.

I grabbed 2 of them last year, and I was really amazed. I can drive a 3" drywall screw into a dougie fir 4x4 with that drill, holding it with my thumb and index finger. No forward pressure on the tool at all. I own various impacts, but none of them will do that. Flabbergasted to say the least.

Love mine as well - I'd pay $60 for it but got in when it was $30. It added yet ANOTHER battery charger to the collection. The only thing I dislike about mine is the forward/reverse/off switch is way too loose and therefore easy to bump with light tool handling.

Yea wish there was a way to tighten up the clickie for the directional switch.

Actually I bought 2 of them last year, removed the battery from the 2nd package and then sold the unit sans battery for $30. So I have 2 batteries for my one unit. :)

I modded my switch and it works freaking great. you just need to be a little careful when disassembling. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=227012

Just picked one of these up last night - got the store to price match the website, otherwise it would have been $80.

I freaking love mine. I wish Milwaukee would come out with a right angle impact for their m12 line.

No kidding. I bought one of these last year for the $30 and the body just felt too cheap, like it could break just dropping it. Ended up returning it. I guess I got spoiled by the feel of the Dewalt and Milwaukee stuff, which I'm pretty used to beating the hell out of.

Come on M12 version!:lol_hitti

I did, I should've put that I didn't like the feel of the body of mine in a separate paragraph. Not knocking the fact that everyone loves these (the reviews on here is what made me buy one).

Sorry, looking back I should have laid out what I was saying better.

Picked up two of these today @ $40 each; one for the garage and one for the workshop. Good thing I brought a printout of the web price though. It wasn't in their system at the sale price. BTW, Amazon sells these for $50.
