If any of you own a Battery impact wrench, which would you recommend buying?
And what brands to stay away?
Thanks

i own 2 one being a small 20 volt dewalt witch i use instead of hand tools cuz it fits everywhere ( can also do tires) and the other is 1/2'' drive michelin 24 volts, sucks ass cant do shit.
these wont break loose anything tough, but high end ones might, nothing compares to high end air guns imo

I own a snap on one, does surprisingly well for an electric impact, PN: CT4450A . Never go to the track without it.

Snap-On if you want a top-of-the-line impact, and if you have the money to spend. . .


Makita, Rigid, or Dewalt if you're on a budget.

if you want for things like removing tires from cars then i would suggest either a pneumatic impact or a nice electric impact. always check to see how many ft lb of torque an impact has before buying it too. you can get a good brand cheap but they are usually low torque that isnt worth shit.

i use a hilti 1/4" for small things like screws etc, but for actual impacting bolts a makita 18v? or maybe 24v? theyre sweet.

I use a cordless impact for my tires and such. They only require 90-100 ft lbs and most 18v impacts put down 100-150 ft lbs

I have a 3/8'' snap on cordless impact. The best tool I've bought off the truck.
