Tool does the job at a very reasonable price, especially if you pretty much just use it to rotate tires. No need to buy a socket set for that since it includes a 3-inch extension and a reversable 3/4 - 13/16 socket. You must use the extension with this socket.

This impact wrench was a great buy. I am very pleased with its performance. It did the job i needed to do

This is not powerful enough to do tire changes. For a measly $25 it can be useful for quick tightening and loosening of nuts and bolts that are not too tight but for wheels and lug nuts or taking off stubborn pulleys look elsewhere for more power.

I bought this along with an entry level compressor because I had a crankshaft bolt that I could not remove by hand (could not keep shaft from turning). It did the job.

But, this is no 250 ft/lb wrench. I optimized my set-up, bigger hose, shorter run, no restrictions, not even a regulator. At 125 PSI straight off the tank, 20' of 1/2" line and high-flow connectors, I could not spin off lug nuts that I previously torqued to 100 ft/lb. I maintained and oiled it properly, this was probably after 10-15 uses, I mean pulls of the trigger.

So, it is what it is. If you buy this, you will ultimately wish you had something better. I bought a Stanley for about $80, and I'm good to go. I have not used this CH wrench once since... it sits in my shop with 2 years of dust on it. If you want one and are near Bemidji, come on by, you can have it for free.

Just received it. Downloaded manual from company website because the one that came with the unit was printed in microscopic type. Good thing I did -- you have to lubricate the wrench before you use it. It would have been nice, then, for them to include a bottle of oil. This will be used for tire rotations, so hopefully it will be adequate. The tool has that "Made in China" look and feel about it.

If you do alot of auto repair get a heavier duty one. But for the occasional use 5-10 times a year this is perfect.

I guess good enough for a backyard mechanic but definitely not for a professional. Too weak and poorly built. Went through 2 in 2 months!!

This is a made in china tool and I really didn't expect it to be great quality. I bought it for a single probably one tie task, but to my surprise, it seems to work really well for tasks in a home garage. Even though my air compressor is under the recommended size, the thing worked great.

First, if you lugs are stuck, this won't help. But if you can get your lugs off, then use this going forward, it has enough power for your use, any more and it's over tightening your lug nuts. Get some impact wrench oil, as it requires some to run it and extend the tool's life. If you want something with some real power, then look elsewhere.

manual says to oil it daily. Afterwards, the tool is leaking oil. There only a hole on the side to add oil..this leaks out.
