Well I had to do it, now or never so I went and did it.Went to Sears and bought a new C3 1/2 drive impact wrench.To put it to the test, I had to change 2 flat tires on a large round bale buggy.It had been setting for ages. The old tire were dry rotted.Well the boss had soaked the lugs with PB Blaster so here comes my new tool.It worked great. All 10 rusted lugs came off with a bit of reluctance but off anyway.Wire brushed the studs and replaced the lug nuts. Entire job to less than 15 minutes.I got this for $89.95 +tax.For this price I cannot complain. Harder jobs down the line, Ken

it should take less than 15 minutes to change 2 tires by hand.

I got craftsman impact wrench cordless 1/2dr and I love it. I use it to tear down to frame to replace whole frame at my work.

Why? I have that impact too, and it's not fast or strong enough to keep up with my 1/2dr air impacts - and I only keep a Nitrocat 1375xl and an old plastic IR for 1/2dr there. Time is money, but you know that and I'm sure you'll agree if you're flat rate.

I have one also.
It works great for what I need it for. Hopefully yours lasts a long time.
The old style batteries do lose power after time though.

Huh i was thinking longer than 15 minutes he said dry rotted tires. Jack the buggy remove rims replace ties on rim put rims back on. I could probably do all that in 15 minutes if my eggs are in place but that's hardly ever the case seeing as i answer calls and handle customers as well as work on cars in the small shop.
