Mastercraft's Best

Date:January 26, 2012

"I have always believed that Mastercraft Maximum tools are as well performing for the common homeowner/handyman as any of the high end name brands. This tool is the best of the best of maximum products - and at last count I have over 75 m/c products in my garage (socket set counting as one for example).
This particular tool is tough, powerful and very versitile. The batteries outlive my hitachi's. Only possible complaint is for some jobs it is just overkill.....but hey....guys - when are we ever going to complain about overkill when tools are the subject ?!! For impact drilling, I partner it with carbide impact bits and it kills. Buy this tool next time it is on sale."

long lasting and versitile

Date:August 5, 2011

"I have had one of these for about five years and it is still going strong. It has been used for everything from building decks to smaller nuts and bolts on my cars. I like the adapter to go from 1/2 inch socket for nuts and bolts to hex drive for screws and drill bits. This adapter is something I haven't seen from other brands. The Batteries did eventually wear out but I just got them rebuilt at the local battery store and they work great again."

A workhorse!

Date:July 10, 2011

"I bought this on a Friday night because I was dreading having to build my new fence with my old 12v cordless drill. This impact wrench with the screw bit adapter made quick work of all the screws used to build the fence. Batteries are strong and last a long time. They also charge very quickly."

Handy not too much torque, quick fastener

Date:May 12, 2011

"Have had one for about a year now maybe a year and a half. I love it, handy and fits into tight spaces well. Use it to do work on truck that doesnt require a big impact like lug nuts and stuff. For small things interior work or small stuff, rads hoods stuff like that it works well.

Built several hundred feet of 1"x6" x 8' fence with this screwing 4 2" screws per board and wow what a unit! Just keeps on going, and decent battery life too,"

3K0 Impact Wrench

Date:February 21, 2011

"I purchased one of these when they first came out in my area. Have used it to build decks with. Have also used the impact wrench to change the tires on my 5th wheel trailer. Sorry to say the batteries will no longer hold charge. Just one month over warranty. Guess it is time to purchase another one. Super quality."

good impact

Date:November 18, 2010

"I had the first series with the pod style battery, it lasted about four years, very good impact, the tool took quite the beating, the batteries eventully would not hold a charge, and the bearings gave up, but only after years of use and building basements and decks, very good tool, now I have traded for the new one about 2 years ago with the new slide type batteries, still great impact. and great warrenty. good job on this Canadian tire."

Not what I need.

Date:November 9, 2010

"I purchased this driver to use for changing from summer to winter rims and back, and found it is not really meant for this purpose. I am sure it is a good product if used within its limitations, but I returned it next day and purchased a stronger corded digital driver that I am very pleased with.
Those using it to change rims are probably only reaching minimum tork for the install, as I can install my rims much tighter by hand."

Great Drill

Date:January 6, 2009

"This is a little powerhouse. Great for driving screws or changing a tire. Changing a tire, even with rusty wheel nuts, is easy with this thing. Great for an emergency. Has good battery life too. Wait for the sale though because this is a pricey little guy."

The battery from the drill is (Part#54-2962-0).

I use the Maximum Cordless 3KO Impact NI-CD batts daily. Should I charge the batteries everyday or should wait til they're completely out?

Question:

Im wondering if recharging them every night will diminish their strength and durability. Thanx in advance. it'S model 54-3665-2 with the Ni-Cd batteries. 14.4V

Answer:

Anonymous makes a good point I think too - about charging a battery when it is hot. Perhaps the best overall solution is to allow a battery to cool after it has been run down to bottom power level...remove it...let stand and cool ....meanwhile run the other battery...then charge up the cooled down battery originally used. Topping up is not good and as Anonymous advises, it probably doubles the sin if the battery is hot.

Answer:

I understand it is best to use one battery unitl near dead, then fully charge it while using the alternate battery. As with any rechargable battery, this practice enables maximum storage of charge, and should lengthen overall life span.
It makes sense as ultimately, you are then not " processing" the battery as frequently.

Answer:

Actually Tucker below is wrong, batteries memory issues occur when a batterie is charged when hot. That's why most high end batteries chargers comes with a small fan built in. You should always wait before charging a batterie after use.

Answer:

Well I charged mine up every morning prior to using them. I did not use them every day. When they were idle for a while, like a couple weeks or month, I would recharge them.

BuckyT

Answer:

Dont charge them everyday. Ni-Cd batters have whats known as memory problems. What that means is that when you charge a battery when its not low, it decreases the capacity. You can reduce your battery life to almost nothing that way. Dont drain it down to nothing either because that can also damage the battery. The best time to charge is when it bogs down driving a screw, or drilling a hole.

Will this remove Lug nuts with ease?

REDZED

- Winnipeg, MB

Answer:

I have used this to remove Lug Nuts and put them back on. It torques mine to 110 foot pounds easily. Just make sure the Batteries are fully charged. On here someone mentioned as you are loosening or tightening to use your other hand to hand crank it while impacting. Works perfectly when you do that. Though buy the $15 torque wrench and check.

Not sure exactly what you mean. I use mine to change the tires on my 5th wheel trailer frequently. Just made sure the batteries are fully charged. Loved it a lot.

Tucker

Answer:

It didn't work for me. The lug nuts were only torqued to 75lb-ft and this gun is rated at 1050in-ft (87lb-ft). I think you need an impact drill of with at least 1400 in-lb (116lb-ft) to loosen lug nuts, especially if they've been on a while and a bit "stuck".
