7.5-Amp 1/2 Inch Impact Wrench – HDIW075

Great price. This easily took the blades off of the lawn tractor. It was so much safer than using a breaker bar.

It seemed that i needed to change the anode rods in a water heater that we have used for 15 yrs or so and a few of the videos online suggested using an impact wrench to remove the rod. I ordered this tool but i tried to use a breaker bar to unscrew it first but that approach did not work so i went with this tool. This thing made the effort so much easier. I only used it once the whole year but it paid for itself and now i have this tool for any other usage. It seemed that the tool is manufactured by the same company behind Skil (it seems Skil was sold a few yrs ago) so it should be good in my opinion 👍

I generally concur with the already posted reviews. This is a great impact wrench - especially if you're like me and have never used a pneumatic one. Yes - its heavy, but given the power source and the impact mechanism are both in the same head, you'd expect it to weight about 2x of an air one. I didn't find it to be too bad - perhaps since I had been warned it was heavy.So far have just tried a few lug nuts to see how it works. Very satisfied. Took one off the Vette and one off my Avalon. Both came off nearly instantly. The wrench spins very fast when not in impact mode, so once it got it loose - it spun off super quick.I also bought some "torque sticks" in case I decide to use this to put nuts back on, which is probably a bad idea without a stick... Tried it with a 65 ft-lb torque stick (after carefully starting the nut by hand) and it seemed to reach close to the rated torque. I checked with a torque wrench after using the impact+stick and then completed torquing to rated value with the torque wrench...Overall a great deal for the price, especially if you don't want to invest in an air compressor/etc and don't plan on massive use !

I am really pleased with the price point and effectiveness of this product. Just did a transmission on my car. Does every bolt and nut including the subframe bolts. Heavy compared to air tools, and bulky. Good product for DIY. Would recommend air tools for professionals but this is good for home use. With extensions and universal I was able to get this on most bolts I needed it for.

So, many people have commented on the weight, and wished it were lighter?!?! If you want it be lighter (and it could be much more lighter if you buy an expensive materials light weight professional caliber impact wrench tool) then you need to get the kind of impact wrench that gets its power from a hose attached to a powerful remote engine / energy source ..... IE I am speaking using of an at least 90PSI / 8CFM air compressor, connected to a normal pneumatic / air impact wrench!! :)Having said that - this tool is actually able to (for many typical use applications, though not all) deliver at the same level as the above type of air impact tool.... without needing a fairly good size stationary air compressor to drive it. (you cannot use pancake size portable compressors designed for low CFM nail guns, etc)it weighs more than the above (or most hand held drills of this size for sure) since it has a heavy duty cast metal steel head and gears to deliver the rotational impact / wrench ability, however unlike the air tool which also has that, it also needs the 7.5A 1HP 900W electric motor attached to drive it, instead of getting its energy from the air compressor.I love this tool, it is very well made and great bang/buck, and has been quite reliable so far. The build quality and finish is good as well. I travel quite a bit with a 4WD Diesel 2500 RAM truck, a 12 foot trailer, and also a 36 ft 5th wheel RV. I am always checking my tire lug bolts and air pressure, and want to make sure they are always spot on for best safety. So, I have a 3000 Watt inverter in my truck that will easily supply 1100W to a small portable hot dog compressor I have in my truck that is great for inflating tires of any size quickly, However it does not have near the CFM to drive an air impact wrench, Instead, I can use that same inverter to drive this 900W electric impact wrench w/o having to carry around a much larger compressor that would blow up tires and have the CFM to run an air tool

So this is exactly what I expected. Gets about 250 ish ft lbs of torque. DO NOT USE THIS FOR TIRES!!!!! I saw alot of people saying that it's great for their wheels, no it is not this will warp your studs and get your lug nuts stuck. I used it for doing a cv axle and it was slightly overpowered for that. The long spindown time is bad as well. Meaning when you let off that trigger it keeps on going, so when you want to stop tightening the impact dosnt. Could be great for getting off lugs that discount tire puts on tho. Also tont expect great quality for this price, the trigger feels like what you would get on a cheap children's toy and you smell cheap plastic Everytime you pull that trigger.

This impact wrench is an outstanding product and an amazing value. I just changed from Winter to Summer tires on several vehicles, ranging in size from a Toyota Corolla to a Ford Excursion. In seconds it removed any and all lug nuts it was tasked with. I still torqued them up with a traditional torque wrench because this wrench could easily over torque the lug nuts. In little more than an hour I had changed the tires on five vehicles using nothing more than a floor jack, some impact sockets, and this fine impact wrench. It is satisfying to remove all eight lugs in about all of fifteen seconds, versus the several minutes with the traditional star wrench. Despite its low price I have zero complaints as to its apparent quality and fit and finish. For the home do-it-yourselfer this corded impact wrench is just the ticket. For working in and around the home the cord is hardly an inconvenience. It might lack the power of many of the air tools or battery operated impact wrenches you may have experience with but I believe this wrench to have all the power you will need to accomplish most any routine automotive maintenance.
