Review on CRAFTSMAN V20* Impact Wrench Kit, Hog Ring, Cordless, 1/2-Inch (CMCF900M1) by Cyrus Wright

This is a great product. It is my first impact wrench. I got it because I had several of the other Craftsman V20 tools and had several batteries (Batteries are the most expensive part of the tool). If you get one family of tools with their batteries, it is best to stick with that brand. Each brand all have different batteries that do not interchange, it is more economical to stick with tools in the same family). The unit is sturdy and heavy built. It breezes through taking off lug nuts.It also takes off nuts that are torqued to 203 ft lbs. In the past I had to use a pull handle with a lot of effort, sometimes I couldn't get them to move. Now, a few seconds with this Craftsman impact. wrench and off it comes.I really love the fact that I am not dragging around an air hose or extension cord. They have really improved battery operated tools since I tried my first Craftsman cordless drill in the 1980s.If you have to take off your wheels a lot, having this unit is a real time and labor saver. If you got tougher jobs like replacing the struts, this unit will speed up the process. When replacing struts, you have to take the wheels off. Then you have to take off the heavily torqued nuts that hold the front struts to the steering knuckle. This unit is so heavy duty and BIG, you will need to invest in a set of impact extensions to reach some nuts/bolts.So, if you already have Craftsman V20 tools, this is the 1/2 inch impact wrench to get. Heavy duty and powerful.
