I bought it because I'm restoring a 1953 Chevy Pickup. It's got 54 years of abuse to repair. I will also use it for tire maintenance. I've got to do a brake job on my wifes cars tomorrow. I'm a 1953 model ole man myself and I'm always working on some ole car, truck or motorcycle so I'll use it to make my hobby easier.

But it is soooo big; for lug nuts, it's not a problem; for under the car and in the engine bay, it might .. :)

it make confused about tools and boxes... if air tool or other tool make diffcult to access that tech can said it is so big then they have to buy small tool. BUT when tech have bigger toolbox that said my box is bigger than your box..... that would not sound good because lost money on toolbox than tools...

i have big tools and small tools but the important is you buy what you need to do for the work on vehicle and dont waste money on what you dont need it....

I have BD and DeWalt electrics, and they are definitely handy to have around. I'm thinking about getting a 14.4V Milwaukee cordless impact as well.

I have a Dewalt 200ft-lb electric impact. It works very well. I use it for 3/4 of the heavy bolts on the car. If I'm jacking it up and I know I need the impact under there, I just try and take it up a little higher until it clears.

I've used it on crank bolts, balljoint pinch bolts, swaybar bolts, control arms, K-frame bolts and it just twists them right off. Very rarely have to break out the cheater bar anymore. No compressor in my garage yet, this was money well spent.

I have a Craftsman model, that I got as a present. While it may be big, I've had good luck with long impact extensions and u joints getting into tight places. I can only think of one bolt that it didn't get out and that was a 13/16th, three inch bolt. It held on the radius arms on an old Ford that had been sitting in a field since the early 70s.

Also, it's really nice to have around the house. It makes driving big lag bolts a breeze. The only down side is that due to it's portability, it's one of my most asked to borrow tools.
