Astro 1828 ONYX 3/8" Nano Impact Wrench 450ft/lb

I currently use a snap on but its the shop loaner and I use it often enough to get myself one. Snap on I use is like 500 bucks of course... oh snap.

Thanks!

I just picked one up a few months ago and have been impressed so far! It is quite snappy for it's size!

I have the 1/2 version and it works very well. It gets into places my larger impacts would never fit. More than powerful enough and it has saved me time.

And I was really surprised at how small it is when I first received it. But looks are deceiving in this case.

I've had my 3/8" version for about a year I'd guess and am impressed - hits hard for a little guy. Haven't had it apart yet so can't comment on construction, but anecdotally it seems to be just as strong as my 3/8 nitrocat, which I think is pretty strong.

ahm

Good gun at the price.
if not a must have 3/8 I would go for a nano ns.1600f as composite body and real world torque over 600ft/lb makes it a one gun for 90% of jobs scenario .
I got an 1828 but don't use it much due to having a ns.1600f, Cost 82.95bucks online and a steal at that price, Astro support superb too, does want likes of 110psi+ tool running pressure get best torque out of it .

Very happy with my 1822 and 1828.
