Decent Impact That Doesn't Achieve Rated Torque

I wanted to write a review on this product because before buying this impact I saw people making contradictory statements on what it was capable of. Obviously the claimed torque is a lie. Big brand torque wrenches at this size and weight that cost $175-250 only produce about 250-300ft-lb. I was hoping it produced at least 110ft-lb though as I primarily wanted to use it for taking off wheels that only need 100ft-lb of torque.Unfortunately, right of the box it wasn't capable of taking off my wheels torqued to roughly 100ft-lbs with a full charge on the battery. I had to send in my 1/2" torque wrench for calibration so I waited until I got it back before I posted a review. Well today I got it back and after some tests, the best I could get out of this thing with a full charge was 85-90ft-lbs.So, the wrench seems decently made, you got quite a few things with it so the price overall is good. But unless mine is a dud, don't expect much more than 90ft-lbs out of this thing.

Pros
  • Premium Brake-stop
Cons
  • May not have enough power to break loose rusted or seized bolts or nuts
