CRAFTSMANC3 19.2 Volt 1/2" Heavy Duty Impact Wrench (Tool Only - Bulk Packaged)

Very powerful. I was skeptical, yah-yah another cordless tool pontificating performance. Using the 4Ah batteries, I was curious, as many other reviews were positive. Solid build but no heavier with battery than similar air wrenches. Rubber coated, bright LEDs and appreciably more quiet than air wrenches of which I currently use. Clutch instantly responsive and no clunk when starting or stopping. Started on my Hummer, bam 8x4 lug nuts easily removed. I used it for a complete brake job, wheel bearings and no sweat removing the large axle nuts torqued 135 ft-lbs. Rotated tires on my other vehicle then finished my bike. This thing did not struggle and I never had to use a breaker bar and it still has a lots of fight in the battery, maybe enough for another 2 similar duty jobs. I chose this tool for its 19.2v compatibility with the other C3 tools. For the price, this is an excellent value and performer IMHO, perfect for the DIY mechanic. There are more powerful 19.2V but of course cost more. I had the batteries and multi charger already so this was a lower risk that I'm glad I took. Highly recommended!!

I received this 19.2V Craftsman Impact Driver for Christmas (2018) to remove the lug nuts on the wheels of my new travel trailer (they are put on with 80 lb of torque). I used it for the first time yesterday (02/2019) on my wife's VW and it works like a charm. While they say you should never put the lugs back on with a driver I used it to simply seat them (and tightened by hand) and the trigger has enough sensitivity to do that well. The driver had enough force to remove the lugs in about one second each without hesitation. I'm am extremely pleased with this and would recommend it to anyone needing an excellent, cordless impact driver for standard bolts, lug nuts, or the hard-to-remove ones at a very reasonsable price.Please note that it does not come with a battery, making the tool a bit more expensive than first glance, but a good heavy duty battery I purchased at a local hardware store for $65 does the trick - and the battery for this and my 19.2V drill are interchangeable giving me more work time if needed - but after the first use I doubt I will ever need the extra battery.

Not quite as powerful as I'd hoped, but that might be due to only having a 2.5Ah battery to work with so far. It will tighten lugnuts up to about 85ft#, and break them loose at about 90ft#. Was hoping those numbers would be around 110-120. Only had it about a month so far.

For people who still use Craftsman 19.2volt tools, an excellent 1/2" impact gun for lug bolts or tough frozen bolts. Variable speed, lightweight and plenty of led lights to help in the dark or tough to get to places

I was already a fan of, and an owner of, the Craftsman 19.2 volt tools. This tool did not disappoint; it's very powerful and very well built.

Exactly as described, works great and very fast shipping

It is really strong it will remove the Lugnuts off but it uses the 19.2 battery life very fast so upgrade your batteries to the new C3 lithium batteries for a better longer use. It will make you keep your old set of power tools!!

I have used it a couple times and it works very well. Checked lug nuts after using this tool with my torque wrench and they were at 100 ft lbs.
