I really wanted to like this impact, and keep it for daily use in an auto shop environment....but it just didn't work out.

Number one was it does not seem to have the advertised torque capacity, I use Accutorq torque sticks on auto lug nuts, and this would not even get them torqued to 80 ft.lbs, where as my pneumatic

1/2 inch impact had no problems, was very disappointed with the power output, especially considering it's specs and being a 36 volt LiIon powered device.

Next deal breaker for me, and it may not be for some, is the socket retaining pin...it's a spring loaded PIN, which positively locks in the hole on an impact socket...you don't have to worry about the socket flying off, that is for sure...but in order to remove the socket, you have to manually depress the pin with a small screwdriver, punch, etc....not too good for changing sockets around in the middle of a complex job.

Lastly, I just plain did not care for the rocker style forward/backward power switch...and switch is the word...no varible speed here, it's either on or off....another less than ideal situation for automotive work.

I think this impact is more geared towards the construction trade, and if that is what you are using it for, it may very well be great. I just did not find it very appropriate for my application.

Had to snag the review title because its true. I use this thing to do everything from drive 6 inch lag bolts to 3 1/2 inch wood screws to work on my tractor. I am not sure if the other reviewer had a low battery or a bad tool but it can loosen 1 inch lugs on the tractor just fine that are torqued to will over 80 pounds 120 IIRC, if it can get them off it can put them on. I will use this to put them on nice and tight then I go to the hand torque wrench to get them to spec (Mountain 250lb). There is no adjustable torque setting but i didn't expect one as its not in the tool specifications. I love this tool and it is well worth the price. I ended up paying 420 for mine from TwinBargins (amazon retailer) when they were selling them cheaper. The fact that it comes with 2 batteries and a charger makes the tool itself very affordable when you factor in the individual costs. I would recommend this to everyone, especially if you have other 36 volt tools that can use the batteries.

A word to the wise, buy impact bits and sockets if you want frustration free driving. Also get this little ditty it doesn't come with it but it make the tool 10 times more useful.

Its a 1/2 to 1/4 hex adapter.

My 18 volt Dewalt impact does almost as much work. I have many Dewalt tools and am very happy with them. This one does not get close to what Dewalt says it will do. Dewalt should pay me to test their tools.
