Craftsman 19.2 v C3 1/2" Impact Wrench
They always crank the hell out of the lug nuts with their air tools and this Craftsman had no trouble getting the lug nuts off. I got access to a 250 ft-lb torque wrench and confirmed that this will in fact loosen bolts tightened to 200 ft-lb, barely. I primarily use the tool for a lithium battery which holds a charge well for the occasional use the impact sees. This impact is rated to 200 ft-lb. I've done brakes, tire rotations, and a CV axle replacement with this tool's help. I'm glad to see a tool deliver its rated specs. With this tool, I get my work done faster and end up a much happier guy at the end of the job. If you're not working on heavy equipment all day, this impact seems to do the job for your average auto repair duties. My car now needs brakes and I can't wait to let the impact loose again. Sure, i just did my wife's brakes, but that was pre-impact. I'll update this review as I get more time with this tool. I was originally going to spend $300+ on one of the more powerful cordless impacts out there, but i'm glad i held off. December 2011 Update (1 year ownership)So I haven't exactly been using this every weekend, but it never fails to impress. Overall, the tool feels good in the hand.
