Bare-Tool Makita BTW253Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8-Inch Impact Wrench (Tool Only, No Battery) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)well ive had this for about a year now. i absolutely love it. definitely is not a replacement for a high torque air impact wrench. but will definitely get most jobs done. takes care of most everything under the hood except for head bolts or crank pulley bolts and the like, nor will it break loose a properly torqued lug nut. 90 percent of the work that i do, this impact definitely does the job.
