Recommendations for cordless impact wrenches

2011 Nismo#91 · 12-03-2017, 07:32 PM

I recently got a M18 FUEL™ 1/2" High Torque Impact Wrench

Only used it once on all 4 wheels so far but worked great.

Be careful when using high torque rattle guns to tighten wheel nuts ... that has stripped more studs than any other source. I always set mine (DeWalt, 10 years old and still keeps trucking') at low torque and finish with torque wrench having missed a race many moons ago having to replace a stud

I only use the impact for removing nuts and bolts, never installing them. There is too much of a risk of messing something up. If I'm feeling lazy I'll use a pneumatic ratchet wrench to run it in then use a torque wrench to put fasteners back on.

Oh yeah never use it to tighten wheels, only for getting them off and hand then torque wrench for putting them on.

Thanks for the tip! This is precisely what has me overthinking what to get. Although im just considering it for loosening bolts, to tighten ill just use natural powa!!! My muscles

Anyone have experience with the Ryobi ONE+ model? I'm looking at that one to keep consistency with my batteries.

I use the Ryobi ONE+ impact wrench, and I must say I've been fairly impressed given the price point of this thing.

I got this one because it is compact and makes it easy to navigate under the car in difficult and tight spaces with the smaller head. Plenty of torque too at 135 ft lbs max.

I have had my wheels on and off at least 10 times in the last 2 months since I went to the track twice in Nov and once in Oct.

I zip them on and off with it. I do not even check the final wheel torque. Dont need to.

Anyone looking at the Harbor Freight "Earthquake XT" model? 1200ft-lb and has excellent reviews... price tag is a little higher - around $210 after coupons.

Great youtube review of it by everyone's favorite Canadian. He's got other videos regarding Dewalt and Milwaukee stuff to.

AvE's youtube channel is definitely on my favorites list. Some of his videos are even better than that one if you're looking for a good laugh.
