Most helpful customer reviews2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Works great for me.By B. LittleI've had this for about a year and it works great. I recently used it to strip apart a rusted Datsun 1970 240Z...it broke free and removed body bolts that hadn't moved in 40 years with ease...saving my wrists. If you're looking for a flashy Nascar speed wrench for your wheel lugs this may not be it. It IS a powerful electric impact wrench though. I have read the model 293 was souped up to replace the model 292 which had mediocre ratings. Best tool money I've spent in a while...saved me from having to buy a compressor.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.345 ft. lbs? Yeah right.By trmzelI really wanted to like this product. I really wanted it to work. I was going to use it to take off a crank pulley bolt (approx. 120ft. lbs of torque). I knew that I might be pushing it, but I didn't want to buy a compressor because I wanted something quiet. After buying it, I took it home and was excited to use it. I decided to go ahead and use it to take off of my lug nuts. That's when the problems happened. It wouldn't take them off. I hand torqued the lug nuts to 85 ft. lbs. the day before. The day before I couldn't get the crank pulley bolt off with a breaker bar (probably over torqued from previous service), that's why I was in the market for this. The point is that it wouldn't remove something that was tightened at 85ft. lbs. If it wouldn't remove the lug nuts, it obviously wouldn't remove the crank pulley bolt.I do not recommend this product at all, especially since it didn't take off my lug nuts. I've read bad reviews before of it, but thought people were simply biased towards air tools; they were right.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful.345 ft. lbs? - Probably notBy Richard FallstichI also purchased this electric impact wrench to avoid messing around with a compressor and pneumatic wrench. I have separate sets of summer and winter tires each mounted on their own rims. I always use a torque wrench when replacing wheels for the season, or detailed cleaning, etc. The only time they are possibly not properly torqued is at State inspection time - 1x/year in PA.The DeWalt tool has never been able to break the wheel nuts loose after a few days of the nuts being properly torqued. The nuts are steel and the wheels aluminum, and maybe some galvanic corrosion is taking place. But it's hard to believe that it takes more than the rated 345 ft-lbs to loosen the nuts. I use an 18" breaker bar to overcome the initial loosening, then use the DeWalt wrench. It does make the job faster in that respect; eliminating the spinning by hand. At least I get some use out of the tool, but it's disappointing that it won't work fully as intended.See all 6 customer reviews...
