Just got this baby the other day. Bare tool since I already have the M18 compact impact, sawzall, circular saw, 2 compact drill/drivers, flashlight, and grinder. This tool has some serious power. Pulled the front wheels off my bosses Super Duty Yesterday. Impact barely tried and lugs came right off. I very impressed. My boss was like try doing that without smiling. I could not stop smiling. Once again Milwaukee WOWs me. Thanks for making my life easier.

I bought this impact wrench after considering air powered and electric wrenches. Air involved the purchase of a compressor and all of the other stuff you need to properly operate air tools. The electrics were certainly priced right, but were big,heavy and required a heavy gauge extension cord to use any distance from their power source.
Happy days for me when I came across this impact from Milwaukee. I love my other 18 volt lithium ion powered Milwaukee tools and decided to give this impact a try. As usual, Milwaukee came through with a compact and powerful tool that has great ergonomics in your hand and does what it says it will. The bonus of not being tethered by an air hose or electrical cord is just icing on the cake.
This impact was purchased to remove the nut that holds the drive sprocket on my motorcycle. Torque values for this nut are 95 ft. lbs.. The Milwaukee impact spun the nut loose in about 2 seconds. The adjustable trigger pressure on this impact also made it possible for me to pre torque with the impact and follow up with a torque wrench to reinstall the sprocket nut.
You can tell by now that I am very pleased with the Milwaukee impact wrench 2663-20. I highly recommend this impact wrench.

Great tool to take on the road,I have a trailer and it's great to how you have the power to change tires in no time. Stopped to help someone on the road,took this out with a set of sockets and changed tire and back on the road without breaking my back!

I feel like this impact could tear anything apart. Lug nuts, even way overtorqued, are spun off instantly. I haven't really found a tough enough fastener yet to put the torque capacity to the test.

It's longer than an air impact and heavier. But not too heavy, and maneuverable enough. Before I got my 3/8" m12 impact, I gladly used this to spin off 10mm bolts. It's pleasurable and quick.

I used this for two days working on my car last weekend and the XC battery is still showing the full 4 bars of charge. I really don't understand why anyone would use an air impact for most automotive work. I feel sorry for the guys at tire shops toting hoses around. What a waste.

The compact m18 would probably be enough for most work, including tire changes. I got this because I didn't ever wanna come up against a fastener I couldn't break loose (I've had my share of frustrations with cheap air tools). Once I saw how well this worked, I decided I wanted something light and maneuverable for small fasteners, and got the m12 with xc battery (apparently m12 with standard battery is too weak). The m12 can break loose bolts torqued to 65ftlb (my tests), and this m18 takes care of everything else. I'm a happy man!

I've had this for several months now. Use it all the time now instead of dragging out the hoses. It did break yesterday, but warranty is getting us a new one. I am ordering a second one. We changed a tire on a K3500 the other day and needed to do the ball joints today. Tried 5 different air impacts, including our Snap On and IR. No go. Had to break one loose with a cheater. This is grossly underated for torque. Great tool. Keep your records for warranty.

Works great for removing and reinstalling tires. Use a short extension as the tool gets in the way on some vehicles. Just don't tighten them all the way with this, you can over torque them very easily. I use it with the regular and high capacity battery with no issues.

I just received this impact and and tried it out on my GMC Denali lugnuts with 22" wheels that I had done by hand with a large breaker bar and it wore me out. This unit zipped them off in about 3 seconds with no problem. I love it!

I read many of the reviews on this impact drill so I was pretty sure it was good. It is good. I bought the friction ring version because I have to change sockets all the time. This thing is strong and fast. With no air hoses to drag around....i'm happy. It took the Main hub bolts off my 2002 Jeep to change my wheel bearings just fine. Those babies were on there too! I have a Hakzall milwaukee M18 and use the battery from that for this. Battery life is VERY good on this drill. Not so much on the Hakzall but very strong and long enough to get done what is needed.

i have used other battery operated impacts, this is by far the best in quality and price, battery holds well, easy forward and reverse, sockets go on and off without any struggling, great for tires when your changing a flat on side of road

I let my mechanic friend use this at the shop. He liked it so much he bought the 4 piece combo kit and then the Impact.
