Cordless Impact Wrench

[ssgharkness020147]

How much are you willing to spend, and how big is your compressor? I've got a Matco 1/2 drive "titanium" gun, just not the air to drive it. Yet.

I've got a 28V Milwaukee drill. It's very nice. It's a bit heavy, but it's just so powerful, runs a long time, and the clutch on it is sweet. So I'm sort of inclined to go with the or a Makita (I like that brand too).

But I just got a recommendation on another forum to look at the Goodyear impact wrench at Pep Boys. 69+15 extra battery 200ft/lb. It sounds cheap, but a couple guys said it's good for spinning lug nuts and light work. For that kind of money, and since I'm not much of a mechanic (yet), I might just go seek out one of these before dropping 350 on a nicer model I probably won't use much. I'll report on what I find out.

18V rechargeable from Sears has worked great on the trails several times for us. Keep it simple and don't carry more crap than you need to. We were able to change two half-shafts with one battery. Buy and extra battery for a back up. Charge them both before you hit the trails.

I assumed it was a aircompressor OR a electric... Not both!!!

Both is always better!!!

I just picked up the Goodyear wrench at PepBoys. It's 24V and rated at 200ft/lbs. It's charging now so I don't know how much torque it'll do, but I will later.

One thing I wanted to note is that it comes with 19/21mm and 13/16" and 3/4" sockets. The OE nuts on the H2 is 22mm. So if you're thinking of this wrench and don't have any impact sockets already, make sure to pick up ones that fit your nuts.
