Cordless Impact Wrench
Has anyone had luck with cordless impact wrenches? I don't have compressor at home and i'm not planning an air system on my truck that's good enough to run tools. Lately I've been doing more and more of my own maintenance and, especially for rotates, it'd be nice to have an impact wrench.
I was hoping that there's something decent in the $200-250 range
for a rechargeable model that'll do up to 240ft/lb. Am I dreaming? Is this just a bad idea?

Re: Cordless Impact Wrench
Step 1: Go to Sears, look at the returned/slightly damaged items.
Step 2: Buy a 25gal+ 5hp+ air compressor for $200ish
Step 3: Buy a impact wrench for $30-$50.
Step 4: Be happy because you didn't buy a cordless impact wrench that doesn't work.
(I won't mention step 5, which is to buy a paint gun and paint everything that doesn't move.)

I was just thinking that a cordless would be a handy addition to my in-truck toolbox for putting on spares or other stuff.

Re: Cordless Impact Wrench
I have the Milwakukee V28 cordless impact and other V28 tools. 28 volts. This is the best cordless impact driver I have seen. It works great.

Re: Cordless Impact Wrench
Tim, I take it you probably have not seen the Dewalt 36 volt impact yet...
Ree,
There are TONS of choices out there. First of all they do work, and quite well if you get a good one. My buddy just picked up the new IR 18 or 19 volt gun with the lithium batteries, he loves it. It get used every day and he only charges it once a week, plus the batteries come with a charge warentee for something like 2500 charges. I personally have a Snap-On 18 volt. I've had the thing a few years now, it takes abuse like a champ. To date I still have not smoked the motor and I have tried. I still have the same battery, which still works fine, and I use it probably 4-5 times a week. Though its not cheap, my votes for Snap-On, trust me on this one... I have an H1, therefore I need to use my impact all the time.

Re: Cordless Impact Wrench
I agree with DRTY on the Milwaukee brand.
Having farmered most of my life we had huge honkin nuts to take off tractors for wheels and other machines in winter as well as I kept one with me so if it was needed for repairs i did not have to run all over the place to find a protable electric impact.
