4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Bargain, October 4, 2004

By	Rodney A. Schmidt (Cedar Rapids, IA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: DeWALT DW059K-2 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-inch Cordless Impact Wrench Kit (Tools & Hardware)

This is the third cordless impact I own, and is definitely the strongest! I also have the smaller DeWalt DW055K-2 and a Milwaukee 9079-22. Two things lacking on the DW059K-2 that the others have is variable speed and electric brake. I don't mind the lack of variable speed, but I really miss the electric brake. I mainly use the impact for automotive lug nuts. The lack of electric brake sometimes causes nuts to go flying when they reach the end of the stud. However, I can take this wrench to the track and get a whole weekend's use out of it without the battery becoming weak. I cannot say the same for the Milwaukee. The DeWalt also seems a bit better balanced than the Milwaukee. (The smaller DW055K-2 won't loosen my torqued lug nuts, but that is not what I bought it for. It's size makes it very convenient for MANY smaller tasks and has surprising power for its size)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Impact Wrench, March 19, 2005

By	John Ciancarelli - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: DeWALT DW059K-2 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-inch Cordless Impact Wrench Kit (Tools & Hardware)

This is an excellent tool. It's high quality and has a lot of power. It can take of lug nuts without any effort. It actually broke a bolt on me when I was tightening a nut.

I gave it 4 stars because it doesn't have any power adjustment the way that an air powered impact wrench has. It's an all or nothing scenario.

I am also not found of the trigger because you squeeze the top of it to remove a bolt and the bottom of the trigger to tighten. It's too heavy of a tool to share both of these functions on the same trigger. Make it like a drill where there is a forward and reverse switch. It's also very loud with the hammer action. Other than these issues, it's a great impact wrench and I highly recommend it. Especially if you already use 18 volt Dewalt tools and could use a couple of extra batteries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top of the line, well powered, well made, July 22, 2004

By	E. Richman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: DeWALT DW059K-2 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-inch Cordless Impact Wrench Kit (Tools & Hardware)

This impact wrench is larger than most others, and a bit heavier, but with more torque than you'd ever need it's an easy trade. Even for Dewalt, who make great tools, this wrench is above average for quality. It just feels like it means business. I've yet to find something it can't loosen or tighten (and I've been looking - at home and around my mother's ranch for rusty bolts just to see if it can do the job - it can).
