Customer Reviews:

Too good to be true [Posted on 2008-05-24]
I purchased this impact wrench strictly for changing tires at the track from regular tire to racing compound tires. The lug bolt is 17mm from a BMW and I torque it to 95ft/lbs with a Craftsman spring type torque wrench. The Makita impact wrench was not able to break the nut! Rated at 177 ft/lbs but could not break a 95 ft/lbs nut. Yes I charged the batteries and tried both of them with the same result. I don't know if I got a defective drill or what, but thank goodness I purchased from Amazon so return was not an issue. The only reason I gave this product even one star is that the batteries charged quickly and the drill is light. Unfortunately too light to be any good.
