Cordless Impact MUST HAVE!
Posted: Sat Jul 15, 2017 10:04 pm
Hey folks,
I have owned the older Harbor Freight 1/2" cordless impact for a few years and it has served me "well enough". It can't get super heavy torque bolts off, but I hadn't wanted to buy anything else as a 1/2" breaker bar does live in the tool box, I do have air tools, and anything better would run me upwards of $500.
HF is now selling this bad boy, and it is currently on sale for $229. Holy crap people!

If you don't have air tools, but work on your stuff at home YOU MUST HAVE THIS THING!!!! I used it to knock off a couple sets of lug bolts that would normally make the old gun hit it a good 5-10 times before they let go. This new gun rips them off with just 2 hits. I will put some large bolts/nuts into the vice and do some testing to confirm break loose torque ratings, but HF sure looks to have put another kick ass tool on the market for the home shop.
