“Before I retired I used these at work repairing railroad freight cars. They are durable and very powerful. Often used one of these on jobs in tight places that called for a 3/4 gun and always got the job done, so when I needed a strong impact at home it was an easy choice.”
Joseph, Amazon Customer Review
“Can’t beat this for changing or rotating tires in a snap for my car or truck. Well worth the money if you’re a do-it-yourselfer. Getting to old to do it manually anymore. Love all these new fangled products that are affordable to many. Just make sure you add a wee bit of oil each time you use it and it’ll last forever.”
Ray R, Amazon Customer Review
“The impact driver arrived as expected and after I bought the adapter to fit my airlines, worked great. I do recommend ” torque sticks” for drive lug nuts as the wrench will over tighten them. This is critical if. You ever get a flat and need to change a tire on the road.”
