My brother is a mechanic by trade and swears by Makita. There's a pretty nice set on amazon for about $180 he's trying to get me to buy. They are pricey, but his gets beat to hell and never quits.

impact for what purpose? if your looking to replace an air gun like an ingersol... good luck aint gonna happen.

i dont think any of them can pop a lug off of a tire.

that being said i have 3 or 4 18v impacts and maybe even a 24v impact...

i have millwaukee, makita, rigid and dewalt

also be careful, they well snap crappy chinese and pot metal screws and bolts

We have a Milwaukee kit at work that has an 18v 1/2" impact. It work surprisingly well. Used it a few time to take wheels off and general use when don't feel like fighting a air hose. Pretty happy with it. I wish DeWalt would come out with one for their newer 20v.

Yeah that's not a $200 makita either

That is a $700 purpose built tool
That's a rediculous amount of foot pounds. I had to make sure it wasn't inch pounds.

This goes on the gotta have it list

teeitup · 04-26-2014, 08:34 AM

Thanks for the input guys, I'm liking the one on Amazon

meatwagon83 · 04-26-2014, 09:08 AM

i have a dewalt 18v, it breaks lugs loose if its fully charged, its not as storng as my dewalt plug in impact though, that thing is a beast!

I have that one here at work. I work for a drilling contractor and we have two of them out here on the rig. That Ingersoll is a MONSTER. I have bought two of them and they take an obscene amount of punishment and don't let up. One of them we just leave a 3/4" adapter and use it on big stuff like 1 1/2" & up nuts to tighten up all kinds of flanges and fittings. It gets rained on, dropped in the mud, beat up and keeps going. I did have one fail after a guy dropped it right in a puddle of water and soaked it, then tried to use it right after and smoked the motor. But Ingersoll warrantied it and we got another.

We also have an 18v dewalt 1/2" drive impact and it is stout for its size, (it's smaller & lighter than the IR) but it isn't as strong as the IR.

I have a snap on 18 volt 1/2 18 volt drill snd 14.4 volt impacts at work they are great.

71swb4x4 · 05-02-2014, 09:23 PM

I have a DeWalt and I like it. I don't have anything to compare it to though. That IR looks like a monster. If I was taking trucks apart like you are, I would buy the IR.

**chev3600** · 05-02-2014, 11:23 PM

I use the same IR 20v impact, it's got ALOT of torque. It has easily replaced my IR 1/2" air impact (ir2135ti) both are rated for 780 ft/lbs, but the electric kicks it's butt.

69chevytrucker · 05-02-2014, 11:27 PM

I work with heavy duty ag mechanics and they swear by the snap on 14.4 impact and I have tried it and it is great but very $$$$$

teeitup · 05-03-2014, 05:36 PM

I ordered the IR Thus night

Billett · 05-04-2014, 07:52 AM

Nice, let us know how it works out. I've never had a problem with the makita, in fact he just bought another set and brought his old ones home to use for his projects.

teeitup · 05-24-2014, 05:55 PM

WOW the IR is AWESOME, I should of bought one a LONG time ago.
