Extended Anvil Impact Wrenches

[Wamsutta]

Is there ever a situation where the extended anvil would take up too much space and limit access to something?

Obviously it's intended for tires and flip sockets.

Right now the only extended anvil 1/2 inch impact wrenches available are the Hercules and the Milwaukee correct?

Those are so huge you probably wouldnt be able to get them into tight spaces anyway, even with a short anvil.

I'd rather have the short anvil--I almost never need to use an extension with a 1/2" impact. Deep or universal sockets get the job done for me 99.9% of the time.

Exclusively for tires? It'd probably work fine. But if you're not working on dual wheels all the time, do you really need the extended anvil?

"Those are so huge you probably wouldnt be able to get them into tight spaces anyway, even with a short anvil."

I like that. Good answer.
