Product Description |
| The Milwaukee 18-Volt Cordless Li-Ion 1/2-Inch Impact Wrench comes with a convenient storage case and features a long-running Li-Ion rechargeable battery. Milwaukee 18-volt Li-Ion equipped tools provide up to 50-percent longer run times than 18-volt Ni-Cad equipped tools while at the same time offering "fade-free" power until the battery is completely drained. The impact wrench is capable of producing 240 ft./lbs. of torque to remove and tighten large fasteners and lug nuts. A lightweight magnesium gearcase is featured for added durability while the on-board soft grip handle reduces vibration and fatigue. A variable speed switch assists with fastener engagement and removal, and a dynamic brake anvil stops immediately after the switch is released for faster socket changes. A flat head detent pin for secure socket retention is also included, as is a round head pin. This tool will run using Milwaukee's 19-volt Ni-Cad or Li-Ion batteries for added convenience. The impact wrench comes backed with a manufacture's 5-year limited warranty. What's in the Box
Impact wrench, two 18-volt Li-Ion batteries, 1-hour universal battery charger, round and flat detent pins, user's manual, and impact resistant carrying case. |

| Reviewer: Stephen Cunningham, Northern Michigan |
I have a 2003 GMC Diesel 1 ton "dually" with 6 aggressive off road style tires. These tires need to be rotated frequently to get the maximum life out of them, the front tires on my truck wear "funny" if I don't rotate them, probably due to the aggressive tread pattern and the weight from the diesel engine, 4,000 lbs on the front axle empty. This tool makes a hard and tedious task almost fun. I only drive this truck when I need to do "1 ton work" so it doesn't get a lot of miles on it, I think it only has about 30K on it now, so the lug nuts get a good chance to rust/weld themselves in place between rotations. The Milwaukee impact has never failed to remove and replace all the wheels on a single battery charge! The first time I rotated the wheels they had been on about 5 years and I thought that there was no way that this little battery operated toy of a tool would take them off....so I got out my 24" breaker bar and prepared to do battle, I had been down this road before.....it spun all the factory installed lug nuts off without hesitation. I couldn't believe it! This is one of the best labor saving (grunt and sweat) tools I have ever bought. It exceeds my expectations. It does a lot of work on a battery charge. I am sure that some day I will find something that it needs help with and I will break out the huge breaker bar and extension...but it hasn't happened yet. If it ever does I will update this review.
Update
I used this tool today to dissassemble my rather large boat trailer that was in my barn fire. Taking it apart was the only way I was able to move it since the tounge was twisted and the wheels were siezed on the axels. It spun out all the rusted bolts even the axel/spring hanger bolts without breaking a sweat. I carried the entire trailer out by hand after breaking it down to its individule components. The trailer has been sitting in the weather for about a month and has become very rusty. It was one of the last items to be cleaned up because I couldn't figure out how to move it. I love this tool.
Update #2
I have a 60" Zero turn mower. It has 3 blades that are held on with 3 bolts each. It weighs 900 lbs. I can only jack it up 19 inches to get the blades off. This tool spins them off in an instant for sharpening. It is a bit heavy when used at an arms length under a mower deck but it sure gets the job done in a hurry, it is at least ten times faster than using a braker bar, socket and ratchet, and due to the impact action I don't have to lock the blades in place with blocks of wood. If you have a lot of blades to change you might want to look at one of these.
