VonHaus Impact Wrench Set, 1/2-inch Drive with Hog Ring Anvil and Carry Case - 290ft-lbs Torque - 8.5 Amp

It works well for getting lug nuts off. However it didn't have enough torque to remove flywheel nut and tough to remove nuts on steering components. also it is very heavy and hard to hold with one hand.

Where has this been all my life? How did I go all these years without knowing about this great tool?! Great for quickly changing/rotating tires, made short work of removing stubborn axle nuts too! Lots of torque. No more procrastinating over tire rotations....stubborn bolts beware! Well built, solid/heavy construction. Feels like a well made piece of equipment.(*********** 1 year update**************)May 1st 2020, bought the unit in March 2019, worked well the few times i've had it out of the box but, the reverse button has stopped working, suspect the switch has gone bad. have attempted to locate the switch online since the 1 year warranty willl no longer cover repairs. I would most hapily replace the switch myself but, cannot seem to find a suitable replacement, can't get to .cn sites from the US at this time anyway. Maybe the seller would have an idea of who to contact for replacement parts. It's a good product just needs a repair at this time.************update**********After contacting the seller about trying to find a replacement switch from either the manufacturer or 3rd party, I was informed that they were unable to get replacement parts such as the trigger switch so, they sent a whole unit to replace my broken one and the one with the bad switch will be kept for spare parts.THIS... is how business should be done!

Powerful and handy for the house.This is not for an all day job, but a great sometime use tool for the home car repairs or whatever needs an impact gun. This impact gun has yet to fail getting something lose for me although it has a few times not been able to fit in a place I needed it to.Four downsides.1. This gun is heavy.2. There are two power options full forward or full reverse only which makes problem three even worse.A gun with this much power should have sensitivity trigger backed with a forward and reverse switch. (minus one star for this problem)3. There is no trigger guard or even a trigger at that. It has some kind of see saw button for forward and reverse. So I have multiple times hit the reverse (lower see saw button) and turned it on on accident and bam full power (it has a bunch of it too). It can be troubling holding it with a strong hand without your fingers resting on the buttons all while not turning it on. Look at the pictures of it and see were the buttons are. It’s the lower reverse one that is placed in a bad spot. (minus one star for this fault and safety issue)4. This gun is big and will not get into tight places like it’s cordless cousins will.I was not expecting a perfect gun for the money I paid and it does the jobs I need it to do(strut, suspension work, and transmission bolts). If you need something that will get your home repairs done or make them easier without paying 4 times the price well this is the gun for you.Ohh this is no kids toy. Be carful.

Kind of heavy and unweildy but very powerful. Best addition I've made to my amateur car-repair toolboxEDIT:I've had this at least a year now, it's literally my favorite tool I own. It and a 6 sided socket bailed me out of a bad stripped nut situation on a shock replacement on an old blazer. It makes it a trivial couple minute job to pop wheels off to look at brakes and suspension parts. You can rotate your tires at home while your oil pan is draining. I've tried to be nice to it but to be fair it's been tossed around and left on the floor and generally a little scuffed up but if you're not at a place to buy into a compressor and air impact and all the up-front cost that entails, this wrench is ridiculous. It is powerful and I've put it to work and it hangs tight. It spun a 1-5/8 axle nut off a 20 year old 3/4 ton truck for me and I don't believe for a second a snap-on impact wrench could have done any better.Still highly recommend this wrench to anyone doing repair as a hobby/starting out who doesn't have a big air compressor and air tools. This thing will rattle bolts with the big boys.

I've used it a couple times per week for the last 2 1/2 years. Aside from the anvil socket retaining ring, which can be easily and cheaply be replaced, I've had zero issues!

This thing works great. I really debated on 4 or 5 stars, the only reason I went with 4 was due to how noisy the impact is. You may be saying to yourself, that is how an impact works but I have used tons of pneumatic guns and they have not been this loud. If you wear ear plugs while you work on your car then this is a 5 star. The impact is far more powerful than I expected it to be but it comes at a cost of noise and weight (the gun is heavy). If you are just using this on occasion or just are not near a compressor from time to time then this is a good unit. It completed my job with no problem.

Exactly what I wanted and expected. Took off all of my stuck nuts and bolts with ease, like the threads were oiled/greased but they weren't. Glad I bought this. Heavy and has a lot of torque but better than being a lightweight pos. I hope this tool has longevity. I don't know about the included sae sockets as I haven't used them yet as the nuts and bolts that were stuck were metric.

Perfect for my needs and a great price. For the last couple of years when I changed out my snow tires with a lug wrench I snapped a few lugs. Steel isn't what is used to be. Even with wd40 the leverage from the wrench would break the lug posts when I was taking off a tire. Each time the mechanic would charge me over a hundred bucks to fix the lug and the garage wanted fifty bucks to change the tires. This impact wrench does the job real good. I zip on the lug nuts and then tighten them with a torq wrench and they zip right off when it comes time to change them. I figure that after two uses I will be ahead of the game.Update: 3 years later, it still works great and I am way ahead of the game.
