Re: Thoughts about cordless impact wrenches
This is what I have.
I'm not sure how well the 1/2" drive impact wrench will work on something really tight but it works fast on lug nuts if it has a fresh charge. The Skil 1/4" drive works nice on smaller fasteners. I saw a few different 3/8" drive battery powered ratchets at the SEMA show but haven't seen anyone selling any of them locally. Something to consider is that batteries do lose power with age. Nicad batteries also lose their charge with time so need to be recharged before use if you need the full power of the tool. Also since batteries lose power with age and will need replacement eventually, you should consider the cost of the batteries. I have 7 different DeWalt tools that share the same batteries so the cost of batteries is lower since I won't have to buy 7 different types of batteries. |
