I originally purchased the Milwaukee to remove the crankshaft pulley bolt on my Honda, but couldn't get it off the first time. The garage torqued it way too much the last time I had the timing belt changed so I paid a local garage mech ten dollars to break it free. As it turns out, even the garage air impact wrench had a little trouble and that guy could deliver 600 ft-lb or torque. He retorqued it enough to get home and I was able to do everything else just fine.

br /Everything else went well and the Milwuakee had no trouble removing lug nuts and other nuts/bolts. How much torque applied depends on how hard you push on the tool. The lowest torque is 100 ft-lb and I guessed when torquing the crankshaft bolt to 130 ft-lb. That and a little Medium grade Loktite should keep things nice and tight until the next time.

br /There are similar models, but there are several things I like about this impact wrench above the others. The first big thing I liked is the variable speed which is nice when you just want to snug-up a nut or bolt. I also like it over the rocker switch since it is similar to working a drill. The second big thing I liked about the wrench is the switch for switching between forward and reverse. Again, this is a directional switch similar to a drill. The last thing I liked about the kit is that it comes with a case and a few sockets. This may be minor, but being that I'm not using the tool all of the time, it's nice to have it nicely packed away and ready to grab when needed. The sockets only add to the value since these can get expensive. With the current $25 discount for purchases over $199, it only makes sense to spend a little more and get a lot more.
br /
br /I'll be using it again for mounting a tow hitch and other general automotive work. Well worth buying.

Real time saver

Wanted to purchase impact gun for years. Finally decided to buy one. To date tool has paid for itself in reduced labor costs. Great pricing and very reasonable shipping rates. Could not be happier.

Want the Best? Buy Milwakee

You can Buy Cheap tool's, and I Have. But Never Got Any Use Out Of Them. So I Started Buying Tool's That Cost A Little More, And started Getting some Use Out Of Them. Like Milwakee, It Is a High Quality Tool. You Cannot Go Wrong With This Brand. It May Cost more. But You Do Not Have To Replace It For Y-E-A-R-S. And It Work's Great Every Time You Pick It Up To Use. Which I take Care Of My Tool's Anyway. About Like i Care For My First Born. and That's The Truth. Polish And Wipe Off Every Time I Use. But That's The Life Of a Tool. But Milwakee Build's A Great Tool That Will Last You for Year's To Come, with Out ever Wondering If it Will Work The Next Time You Pick It Up. They Are Tough. I've Dropped Them, and Hard. Use Them Hard. And Continuos For Hard day's Work. Sometime's Not Putting Them Down. But They Never Let Me Down. So instead Of Spending Your Hard Earned Money On Cheap Tool's, and Having To Replace Every Little Bit. Just Buy A Milwakee And You May Have It a Lifetime.
