Reddit mentions of DEWALT (DCF899HB) 20V MAX XR Impact Wrench, Brushless, High Torque, Hog Ring Anvil, 1/2-Inch, Tool Only

If you already have invested in a brand of cordless tools looks for whatever your brand offers, most higher-end brands usually are pretty comparable these days.

I've used the milwaukee m18 impact for a while and I've had much better luck with it than I've had with air tools on a too small compressor. A quick search shows Dewalt and Makita both have equivalents that are probably quite good as well.

I use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00WTQW7JA

I've never had a nut that it couldn't take off. I've used it in everything from taking off lawn mower blades to nuts on my tractor and implements.

Some of the bolts on the implements you could barely tell there is thread with how rusted they are. Good luck on the future.

I would say the bigger the more dangerous. Most often the threads will not break and you'll be left with a bolt/nut digging into whatever it is that you're anchoring. I have two DeWalt impact drivers: both cordless 20volt, one with approximately 160 Nm and a 1/4" chuck, the other is a 1/2" drive high torque driver with a maximum output of approximately 950 Nm. I've snapped grade 8 half inch lag bolts with the big one.

All in all I would suggest for standard use a 1/4 inch chuck, not drive, light duty impact wrench. Anything you feel might not be tight enough go ahead and use a socket and ratchet wrench to confirm and you should be all good.

DEWALT 20V MAX XR Impact Wrench... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WTQW7JA?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Was originally 249.99 but it went down to 205. Not a crazy deal but made me finally pull the trigger.

Well bare tool DeWalt is $204 on amazon. That's $199 with coupon. Sure it comes with a battery, but I got plenty of DeWalt batteries.

The DeWalt one also seems like it will have a long production run and is super popular, so I'll be able to buy parts, and broken ones to use for parts for years to come.

Hey man sorry for the late reply. I use These. They are awesome. With the big battery the impact lasts forever. I've only charged it about 5-7 times in he last year. The 3/8 one can pull off a lug nut tightened to 80 ft/lbs.

Hope that helps.

I had a cheap Campbell Hausfeld and a pancake. Totally worthless. It had good power for like 3 seconds as others say.

I had the enjoyment of removing a pitman arm off of my '74 Corvette earlier this year. I invested in a DEWALT DCF899HB 20V MAX XR Brushless High Torque 1/2" Impact Wrench with Hog Ring Anvil https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WTQW7JA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_LoiRzbYFQV4AR

Oh man is this impact is dangerous. If a nut wont give, it'll snap the stud instead. Ask me how I now. Plenty enough power for me.

Mixed, got a 300 or so piece set from craftsman, hated the ratchets that came with it so got 82 tooth craftsman ratchets, love their handle shape, craftsman screwdrivers pliers are a mix of channelock, chinesium, and lisle specials. Fluke 88v that I've used once... , dewalt for cordless tools, use my 899H Every day and drop it way more then I should, thank god MAC makes this got a US GENERAL to store tools at work, even tho my Husky worktop or Husky Doubletall would be better, there isnt room for them at my job.

>The tires were put on by the mechanic so probably pneumatic tightened but I didn't think that would prevent me from loosening them manually.

huehuehue

try a breaker bar. i got tired of straining my back on tight as fuck bolts and nuts so I got this

There is only one cordless grinder on the market that is worth owning. I'm not just being dramatic. To be useful, a grinder needs to pull a lot of power and one tool puts the rest to shame, that tool is the DeWalt 60 volt grinder. DeWalt also has a 1/2" brushless impact wrench which accepts the FlexVolt battery from the grinder. (Note that the grinder requires the 60v battery, which switches to 20v when used in a 20v tool).
