I have some other m18 stuff that has held up great, since I work in a tire shop as a mechanic doing mostly brakes and chassis stuff I thought a cordless impact would be nice if it would be close in power to my ir2135timaxx. I wondered if what they claim is true for the power. While I have not been able to stop it yet, I have to say its dang good. I just wrapped up a 6 day week, doing a few jobs(its kinda slow right now) but no lug nut, axle nut, caliper bracket, idler arm , pitman arm, and using it for the puller gave this thing any test at all. I gotta say this thing is for REAL! It remains to be seen if it will outdo my air gun, we have not had that bolt in the shop that is really stuck since I got this. The battery life is great as well. I only charged it twice this week. It has not been super busy, but I think it would go a full busy day. It is heavy compared to an air gun, and bigger. I wont sell my air impact, but I like the mobility of not needing the air line.
I am VERY impressed with the package. Not one ounce of buyers remorse here. My only complaint is the first setting is to slow for running up nuts to be torqued, and number 2 by the time it runs the nut up and hits impact, its tighter than 150 ft/lbs. I tested that on a 3/4 ton pickup lugnut. I had to back them off to torque them. I will just us my hex impact for running up lugnuts I guess. ( i already did that before) The hex impact will let you hammer them tight and not get much over 80 ft/lbs. That is good for most vehicle, so then I can torque them with my wench.
