Thanks for the review. I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these for my job (Goodyear). As a GS, I can't afford those ridiculously expensive Milwaukee impact guns that they sell on the Matco and Snap-On trucks.
It will probably get you by for a while. I don’t know how it will do in commercial service. Mines still working ok. But day in day out heavy service I don’t know??
👍 Let me know how it does. I’ve had no trouble with mine using it around the house, and at the junk yard. I’m curious how it will hold up in a day in day out shop setting?? I have all air at work. We do lots of tire/brakes/suspension work.
Will do I’m currently working at a Subaru dealership & needed to find a electric impact that has good torquing & take off torque.Hopefully this gun isn’t weak for putting the lugs back on the rims lol
I just got that avid power impact wrench in the mail today I could not get it to take off the lugs on my 2013 cadillac escalade esv luxury I will take them loose with a tire Iron. And Torque wrench them to spec. An use the impact to take them off And see what happens Well let you know how I turn out
I used mine this week to remove the harmonic balancer bolt on my daughters 99 Camry. I also used it to take off lugs that were impacted on with an air impact.
How has this held up for you? I'm looking to keep one in my vehicle. Don't encounter flats all that often, but it's time consuming to sit there with a lug wrench in the heat or cold. Being able to use an impact drill would be great, I already keep plug kits and a small air compressor in my vehicle. I've looked at ones powered by 12V but unfortunately wasn't able to find any reasonably priced that had good reviews. Same with corded options, as I have a 120V house outlet in my vehicle. A cordless option is really nice, I just worry about the battery discharging as it's gonna be in my trunk left in the heat and cold. It's very nice that it has a battery monitor though, so I can keep an eye on it and check it every few months. I can also charge it via my 120V if needed, but ideally I'd like to avoid that as that would require waiting for it to charge, and I likely just want to get on my way lol. Anyways, great review. Have you had any problems with it? I saw some reviews claiming it didn't have enough torgue to remove their lug nuts. Clearly that didn't happen for you. So, I assume their lug nuts where either WAY overtightened, they got faulty units, or the most likely, they didn't have the right size socket. I also saw some reviews saying their battery broke after a few months (however I don't plan to use it much so hopefully we can avoid this) and it was very difficult for them to get a replacement as it was out-of-stock. I saw battery replacements on Amazon for $45. A bit pricey, but they were there.
I wouldn’t say that I have used it enough to give a realistic long term reliability review. But for what you’re planning to use it for I feel reasonably confident in recommending it. If someone was planning on making a living with it in a shop, I would suggest the Milwaukee. But for the hobbiest or DIY’r it’s fine. In the video you can see I was able to complete a tire rotation, with no real issues. On the portable compressor. A few years ago, I bought the Stanley fat max, jump pack and compressor combo, it had a few features on it that I have used through the years, alternator check, auxiliary LED light and 6 USB charge ports. I caught it on sale at SAMS one Christmas for 49$. It’s probably 4 years old and I have inflated and jumped off to many tires and batteries to count. In the instructions it tells you to top off its charge once a month. I feel pretty sure it’s got a gel Cel battery. I am understanding now some are coming with Li-ion and don’t require the touch up charge as often?? But I haven’t actually owned one. I have been pleased with mine. I have noticed the battery performance has dropped off a little. But like I said, I have worked it hard for like 4 years. Thanks for watching and commenting, I hope I have answered your question. ✌️
@@RealWorldGarage Thank you for the response! I'll definitely have to checkout the Stanley FATMAX Jumper and Compressor. Sounds like it has some neat features, and is a great price if I can catch it on sale. Thanks
I got the 1/2 406 ft pound for 129.99 during Christmas from Amazon come with 2 20v 4.0aph batteries 4 impact sockets a charger and case best impact gun beats Milwaukee,makita,dewalt,ryobi by along shot
@@RealWorldGarage best impact gun I've ever owned and I am a mobile mechanic so it get used just about everyday never had no problems with it and it has some power plus I can do around 10 cars on 1 battery
@@RealWorldGarage Yea I tried it with this unit and key lugged nuts on my camaro and this thing only removed one lug nut for me. Idk if either they were torqued too much or if when using a key with this impact it wont work. I had to unloose all of them by hand. But to put them back in i had no issue using the key with this impacy drill. Only to remove them, did not work at all. Maybe they were too torqued but to me defeated the purpose of why I got this at that time. So i returned it. Is there any really good impact drill that has alot of power and is battery operated like this?
@@VenomMarciano Milwaukee but they are expensive. You will lose a lot of torque through the connection of the lug key for sure. Those are best removed and installed by hand. I’d only use an impact on a standard lug nut. ✌️ good luck
I love you video, I just wish you would have felt the body and handle with your hand after removing the lugs of each tire and feeling for how hot the gun gets after each tire. I saw another video where the guy uses one of those under $100 impact guns and he felt the gun after only one tire 5 lugs and said the gun was very hot down to the handle, hmm thats not a very good sign if its that hot on one tire that gun will burn out in no time.
I suspect as with any of these cheaper tools, that quality control differs from tool to tool. I have never noticed any over heating. If this is a tool you are only using a few times a year as a DIY’r and on a tight budget it will probably be just fine. If you have the money to spring for a more expensive model, I would certainly do that. But my main focus was is this a viable tool for someone on a budget. It did everything I asked it to do.

Actually i have one 450 avid for 4 years, after all the abuse that i but it into still work as champ
Good one for cheap price
Definitely wanna get one of these for home use since i dont like taking tools home from my box at work, cause i’ll likely forget it at home lol
Mines still going strong. Thanks for watching.

I just ordered one. Looking forward to it. Sure won’t miss dragging the air hose around.
Hey , can you please give me a update on the tool?
I have one mine didnt take out the lugs out my Toyota sienna 2012 was so piss
@@AccentBwoythanks for the input , I decided to get the Seesii brand which came in with 2 batteries . For the price it was worth it.
@peterReth just checking in to see how it’s working??
Nice review, my only question is dose it still work to this day?
Yes
Do you feel it has the power to get the lug nuts tight?
@@mrswolls I do, but I still recommend checking them by hand with a torque wrench. It could get them too tight, depending on the application.
@@RealWorldGarage good to know, thanks.

Didn’t you hear it click??? 😂

Wow how could that little truck be a 6 lug I thought it was five that's crazy..
As a matter of fact, you can put Nissan Titan wheels on it.
I keep mine in my trunk. The batteries are interchangeable.
