18 Volt Impact Drivers ?
« on: April 11, 2010, 10:45:11 AM »
Has anyone had any luck with these ?
I bought the $130.00 model at Crappy Tire yesterday, and it couldn't even break out wheel nuts which I hand torqued to 90ft-lbs.
This is suprising, considering it supposedly is good for 200 ft-lbs.

I have the 3/8 snap-on one and A friend at work has a 1/2 snap-on and they will twist your hand off.
Some guys got the CT 1/2 and my 3/8 has more torque.

i bought the 1/2 Snap on.
Tightening lug nuts, 3 bangs of the impact is 120 ft/lbs (tested with a torque wrench)
Advertised 1100 ft/lb break away torque ( un-do)
Expensive but worth the cash.

I've got the DeWalt 18v 1/2" impact...it works great!! Especially for making other guys in pick-n-pull jealous. LOL

The Li-ION battery is well worth the money as it runs longer and there is none of the Ni-CAD battery problems.

I bought an older model of the can tire impact that was supposed be to good for 100 or so lb-ft.  Not even close, maybe 65, maybe...I haven't ever heard good things about the CT impacts after I bought mine.
