Review on Wagan EL2288 12V Roadside Impact Wrench, 1/2 Inch Drive, 258 Ft-Lbs Torque Power, Tire Repair Tools With Sockets And Carry Case by Uriel Arocha

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works the way it should - with a few peculiarities .

Works the way it should - just be aware of two peculiarities:Before applying the wrench to a lug nut, I have to "prime" the anvils / clutch by spinning the socket and waiting for the anvils to "clack" set themselves ( 1/2 a second). If I don't do that, the motor will simply run without engaging the axle of the wrench - socket doesn't spin, but motor runs. Simply do this in between each lug nut you install / remove.The wrench's axle also seems to disengage if you apply too much forward pressure Into the socket and nut - again a running motor, but no axle spin. Simply ease up and don't push forward too hard and it will run OK.So far, so good - already used for a second 4-tire swapping session.

Pros
  • ‎11.02 x 10.12 x 3.54 inches
Cons
  • Lacks the power for modern, high-torque vehicles
