Works for me

Date:December 3, 2011

"I read all the reviews but I decided to find out for myself. Regardless, I wanted the extra batteries to run other tools and it was on special (cheaper to buy the tools than just the batteries and charger).

Went to remove lugs and took them off within 2-3 seconds. Put them back on, verified with my breaker bar and torque wrench and could not torque it further. Could not undo them manually without a LOT of force.

So I am not really sure what's going on. Mine was manufactured in 2009, so maybe that has something to do with it. Many of the comments are newer, so perhaps it's a good and bad batch or they maybe changed suppliers?

The battery life is what you'd expect as well. I have been using 1 battery for the impact driver, wrench and grinder and it still has what seems like lots of power.

So maybe I am just really lucky and got a good one. Maybe it will start acting crazy sooner than later but for the moment, it will handle just about all the bolts I really need it for. Anything more substantial (31-36mm bolts) if it doesn't work, I'll use an air impact.

For me, it is a perfect little kit for the junkyard warrior."

Does not work

Date:November 27, 2011

"This wrench would not break one nut on my perfectly torqued Acura wheel nuts. It did rotate the nuts once I broke them with a torque wrench, but what's the point?"

CAUTION; Read reviews B4 buying.

Date:June 18, 2011

"Went to use this for the first time after buying my new toy that I got for $100.00 off. With a big grin on my face & the batteries all charged up, I went to take off the wheels on my wife's car. It would not budge the lug nuts. Tried the other battery & found the same thing. Put the batteries on the charger again to make sure they were fully charged. Tried again, same thing & no luck. I thought with the 220 ft lbs of rated torque this tool would easily take off the lug nuts. Went to check what the loosening torque was with my torque wrench & found it to be only about 80 ft lbs. (??) I then went into the house & went online to see what the reviews were like for this product. I soon found out why I could not remove the lug nuts on the car by reading all the other reviews; this tool is way over rated for torque! In tests that I did today, I found the torque of this tool to be somewhere between 60 to 70 ft lbs as compared to my dial torque wrench. What a huge disappointment to say the least! Returned the product & purchased the 18V 3KO on sale for 1/2 price. Wow night & day better!
Bottom line, Don't Waste Your Money on this Tool even if it is on Sale!"

"I just bought it to change my daughters winter tires. I couldn't even get the first bolt off. Tried several others but to no avail. Ended up taking them of with a tire iron. I will be bringing it back tomorrow."

Do not buy for removing wheel nuts

Date:October 5, 2010

"A great price but does not live up to the torque rating it advertises. Not even close unfortunately. My wheels are torqued to 96 Ft lbs so I thought this would be plenty at its stated 220 ft lbs of torque. It took quite some time to remove two nuts and could not get the next two off, even with a fresh battery. I decided to test it's torque by putting a nut back on and let it torque it on and as I still had to tighten about a half turn with a torque wrench set at 96 lbs. I would estimate the output at about 80 ft lbs, about 1/3 of what it is rated at. I guess when a price is too good to be true, it often is...oh well take it back. In general I like CT products but this one just did not cut it for my application"

Stay Clear

Date:July 16, 2010

"Bought this today cause I wanted a portable quick impact wrench for removing brake caliper bolts boy this thing is weak. It couldn't remove the bolts. Get an air powered one or perhaps a powerful plug-in model. Battery died fast and no way it puts out 240 ft pounds not even half that."

pretty good

Date:May 26, 2010

"got this for $89 its a bit big and heavy not sure how duable it will be but 3 year warranty is very good 2 years on battery.
It took the lug nuts off both my cars with ease and even took them off my 3/4 ton which were 140ft pounds i use it to change wheels on my quad etc it works great lasts a long time too. I tried a friends $300 maximum driver 1400inch pounds but it was too weak to take lug nuts off.
dont think this is 220ft pounds more like 150 to 175 overall im very happy with it and the price i paid for it."

Adequate; not stellar

Date:January 24, 2010

"While the unit feels solid and durable, I noticed right away that its weight does not equate to overall quality. The grip, usability and controls are all great, but the actual power is low, and battery life is questionable. It is rated for 220 ft-pnds of torque. Who knows where this came from; asimilarly rated electric version of theis impact wrench was able to take off the lugnuts from my wheels, while this one struggled and shook, more than it loosened."

Light duty impact wrench

Date:January 19, 2010

"I read the 220 ft.lbs torque rating and thought that this would do the job for me nicely. However, it didn't. Although this is a very good quality made product I think that it's use is limited to light duty tear downs.

This wrench is light and easy to handle. I like the carrying case, which is also well constructed, with compartments for the two batteries, battery charger and the wrench itself. But, like I said, this wrench would only handle light tear downs, such as stuborn bolts of maybe 9/16" head sizes and less.

I think that this impact wrench has about the same torque as a regular hammer drill. Not a heavy duty hammer drill though. And like the previous reviewer, I'm going to exchange this wrench for something that can actually put out 200+ ft.lbs. of torque.

There really isn't anything wrong with this impact tool. But I don't understand the 220 ft.lbs. of torque stated on the box. But maybe I don't understand how portable tools are rated these days. I'm old school, and in old school 220 should be enough to make your tires squeel... lol.

Conclusion: Nice tool. Good for light tear downs."

1/4" COLLET

Question:

Can you buy the 1/4" adaptor separately or is that only available with certain models of impact drivers.

Answer:

I really wouldn't use a 1/4" drive set with 220lbs of torque to be honest. I have managed to manually rip one of those adapters to pieces with enough force.

And most impact tools are made for 1/2" drive, specifically to handle the rather brutal force that an impact tool exerts on the edges of the connectors.

But, you can most definitely get a 1/2 to 1/4 or at least a 1/2 to 3/8 to 1/4 if you had to.

Likely best to just get whatever size you need in the 1/2" drive size though.
