I have a pneumatic one so I didn't really need this but when I stumbled across it on Amazon for 100 bucks cheaper then I've ever seen: $131+freeship, my tool buying reflex took over.

It is big and really heavy compared to my pneumatic one but the convenience of complete portability is worth a lot. I quickly put it to work rotating the tires on my one-ton and though it took a couple seconds to break some lugs free, the work went quickly; no charging the compressor, uncoiling the hose or finding the pneumatic tool oil. 8 lugs per hub off and on all around only used 50% charge, though my right forearm was feeling the burn near the end. The charge rebounded to 75% later as these batteries tend to do.
I don't think I'll be bothering with the air compressor and hose anymore except to inflate tires.
*I see the product dimensions are junk; it's 12" long x 11.5" high wi. battery.
**Flat tire already, lucky me, but I also used it on the plastic hub protector lugs this time and the trigger control was excellent, no stripping.

I purchased this tool for heavy maintance in in a quarry (one of the harshest enviroments for a power tool) where it was not possible to take electric and air guns we have it for about 2 months and it has quickly become the favorite for all repair work even when the guys a working near an outlet the electric guns arent used anymore I am going to buy 2 more

Already having an air compressor and air impact wrench, it was tough to convince myself to get this. I talked myself into it by thinking about how nice it would be to have an impact wrench for junkyard hunting. Anyway, I have yet to test it out in a junkyard, but since I bought this tool, my air impact tools have not seen the light of day. It is heavy, but all I can say is WOW. This thing puts my IR231 to shame in both speed and power. I would recommend this to anyone who wants real power in a cordless impact gun.
