Cordless impact wrench?
Posted: March 6th, 2007, 9:08 pm
So I was at crappy tire tonight and they had that 14.4V cordless impact wrench on sale. I'd always considered them a joke because 1) they're heavy an expensive and 2) they're just not very strong.
I sat around debating it for 20 minutes, playing with it. It seemed pretty hefty. In the end I decided not to get it because my air wrench is 650ftlb, lighter, nicer... and this one was about 100. What would I use that for?
Has anyone tried this one? It was the Mastercraft 3K0. Does it have enough torque for lug nuts?
I did some googling around when I got home and saw this new one from Makita:

Which is god damned expensive... but 170ftlb *may* be enough to do something useful with.
It would save hauling my compressor down to the parking garage...
Anyone tried it?
