Cordless impact wrench

[jaywood]

I'm looking to buy one, I have been using a cordless drill with a socket attachment on the end. That works well but I would like something a little better. So I am looking for a cordless impact wrench

What is the best one out there for the money?

I was at homedepot and was looking at the ryobi ones they have, I was wondering how well they function too.

I have a harbor freight impact that plugs into the wall and sucks!!
I cant imagine cordless being worth a turd.

Snapon 1/2 inch Impact Drill is the strongest Ive used so far.

And for a 3/8ths / 1/4 impact drill, Id recommend the Makita Impact drills. Super strong and reliable. Its actually a quick release chuck so you can use it for all types of bits and adapters.

That might be your first issue!

JK, I have lots of HF tools ;)

Some of the cordless impacts are actually pretty decent I've read.

I have a 1/2" Makita impact wrench and i love it!!! I do not know why I never bought one before. I am going to be picking up some smaller more compact versions in the near future as the 1/2" is not easy to get to every bolt

my friend has a chordless impact, its yellow so i'm guessing it's dewalt?


thing works like a champ and has a good battery life, and my friend is a cheap mother fucker so i doubt it was very costy.

Makita for track days. I see a lot of people using the DeWalt and even hitachi ones too. Very nice things.

I've also heard good things about the bosch ones.

I have dewalt in both 3/8 and 1/2" drives, and I use them both daily. I use the 3/8 more, because its lighter, and I don't need the strength of the 1/2 all the time, but they both get used every single day. Never one problem.

Best tools I own, by far. No air compressor noise, or hoses to drag around.

I have heard the Milwaukee ones are stronger (I own a Milwaukee drill, and it seems better quality than my dewalt stuff..even though I have no complaints about my dewalt stuff). I think Milwaukee makes the Snap-on wrench, so save your money on buying a name.

I got the Craftsman 19.2v impact a while back and I love it! Thing kicks ass, it will take off cylinder head bolts without issue.
