- Excellent Impact Gun
- I ordered this 231 because I needed an impact gun with some raw power to do maintenance on my cars such as tire rotations and any other job that may reqire an inpact gun. It took 3 days from the time I ordered it to the time it arrived at my door. I wanted to check to see if it really worked as they said that it would, and boy was they right. This gun has the power and torque to take care of all those jobs you might encounter. I hope this one lasts for years to come but if I ever have to purchase another one it will be this same one. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is on the fence about buying it.

- Great Impact Wrench
- Let me first say for $109--THIS IS A STEAL. Price other 1200 ft lb torque wrenches and you will see that $299 and above is common place. As a matter of fact for $20-$30 more than your basic impact (300-500 ft lbs.) wrench that will leave you disappointed because it will never loosen tight bolts you would be crazy to buy anything else. If you are looking for a professional quality wrench that will remove anything you throw at it this is the impact wrench for you. I recently did a front brake job. My impact wrench that came with my tank was not even getting close to removing my tire lug nuts. Obviously, when I had new tires put on the service center got lazy and used a powerful impact wrench to install the lug nuts. There was no way I was getting them off with a breaker bar and I am 230 lbs. and not a small man. I figured it was time to upgrade and for the money I save on doing rotors/pads/calipers myself this gun paid for itself within 5 minutes. This gun ripped those lug nuts off instantly and made my job very easy. Nothing is more frustrating than banging your hands, sweating, breathing hard, killing your back, standing on breaker bars, only to have the bolts stay in place. Save your body and your time....get this wrench!!! If your service department uses their professional wrenches to tighten bolts...you have this beauty to at your disposal to quickly and easily get the job done.
As noted in the spec of this gun the forward torque will not be nearly as powerful as the loosening torque. However, when I installed the tires and used this to put the lugs back on....I could barely even turn them. Plenty of power to tighten anything....and more than enough power to loosen anything "stuck" $109---ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!! Awesome wrench. - 2008-05-16, 5 of 6 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- From a professional
- I'm a professional diesel mechanic, and I will not buy any other impact but this one. My first one lasted me for 10 years, through drops, kicks, no oiling, etc. I only don't have it anymore because I moved and sold it to a friend who still uses it. I have put this thing head to head with impacts 3 times the price of this one, and it has always been the strongest and most powerful. Most of the people in my last shop borrowed mine because it was the most powerful in the shop, and nearly everyone at my new shop has one. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

- Fantastic prosumer wrench
- This rattle wrench is all you need for vehicle hobbyists. Even a commercial garage would be proud to operate this unit on a daily basis. Maybe too light for eighteen wheelers.
