seeking advice on cordless impact wrench

[Gilles]

Thank you all for the input and comments.

I originally bought a kit that had one 18V cordless impact wrench (w +/- 100ft-lbs) that weighted almost 3lbs and one drill/screw driver


But ended buying only an impact wrench that has 155 ft-lbs that weights 3.4lbs, it seems that I was not considering the benefit of a compact and light weight tool..




Again, thank you all and Felíz Navidad

That impact wrench in the bundle like most 1/4 " ones are generally rated in in/lbs, not ft/lbs

You will need to get a 1/2" one if you want higher torque like 300 ft/lbs

or a cheap corded 120v impact from HF. with 20% off coupon.
If you really(??) need a 400ft.lb+ monster, try a 3/4" and an adapter. Such a tool will shatter cheap impact sockets but will always undo/break a nut/bolt. Careful.

This one should serve you well for most automotive work. Just keep a 1/2" breaker bar with helper around for that rare rusty bastard requiring max leverage to set free.
