Ingersoll Rand W7150-K1 20V Cordless 1/2" Impactool, Charger, 1 Li-ion Battery/Case

• 20 Volt Cordless delivers incredible torque and high-speed performance
• POWER 780 ft-lb reverse torque and 1100 ft-lb nut-busting torque from a tool weighing just 6.8 lb
• High-power lithium-ion battery

This impact wrench is just plain awesome. It has great power and the battery life seems to be pretty good also. Should be able to do at least a few tire rotations, brake jobs etc. no problem. My only gripe is where they put the direction switch. If it was a 1/2" higher or a 1/2" farther back it would be better, but that's my only complaint.

This tool is serious business!!!

I do like power tools not only as a tool but also as modern art man toys. Ok, I agree, I'm a little bit crazy but this is true :)

This tool has enough torque to do everything I reckon a DIY or even a pro (which I'm afraid I'm not) can do with a car... wow I'm amazed.

Look how easy it is even when I'm right handed and in this video of me trying the tool for the very first time, I'm using my left hand. It is fantastic!!!

I was very nervous about buying an impact wrench because first of all, I know absolute nothing about impact wrenches of any kind and second, I needed the tool was able to work my cars toughest nuts like the ones in the suspension and tires.

The thing is though, While I loooooove DIY and loooove fixing (sometimes what I get is the opposite :) ) my cars, I have wrecked 4 of my intervertebral discs. First because I got too fat, second because I've been careless and finally because I'm not getting any younger so now I need real support from my tools for me to be able to keep my hobbies in sync with my health. I has to say, this may be my very first really pro battery power tool but hope is not going to be the last!!! I mean, this thing is FANTASTIC!!!

While I live in a tropical country with a very mild climate and no rust anywhere either in my 8 years Ford Explorer truck (the one in the video) or my car which is 10 years older (but good looking as the owner LoL ) this tool can handle absolutely every thing it can reach, amazingly easy... If you're in the market looking for something like this, go ahead and buy one... you won't regret.

Is this tool better than the Snap-on? I don't have a single clue but this thing sure is cheaper, strong, powerful, solid, etc... you get the point right? :)

Thank you very much for watching and for reading!!!

See you next review :)

I was looking for a used snap-on 1/2 inch impact but found I could buy this new for the same price. After reading other positive reviews and awards along with the fact that Ingersoll makes quality products I bought one. The feather trigger is great and the overall quality of the product seems solid. I put it to the test on some rusted out bolts on an old 1960 Ford truck bumper and it broke them loose with ease. I removed some bolts off a flywheel with no issues either. It's great not having to pull out my compressor especially if I'm working late in the garage. This is hands down one of the best tools I've purchased.

I have tried to remove the crankshaft bolt on my 2004 Honda TL, which turned out a nightmare. I used a 3ft long Snap-on breaker bar to no avail (the Powerbuilt crank pulley holder tool should not be used on 2004 TL or the 55mm hex would be marred). I then used DeWalt 300ft-lbs impact gun; nothing.

After a lengthy research, I decided to give it a try on this, as this has the max-rated power for battery-powered impact gun. The overall quality seems durable, but for this kind of price I expect it to be made in the USA but as you could guess this is made in China. One minus star.

Li-ion batteries have become a major rechargeable battery (not sure if they have memory effect as in Ni-cd batteries) but in some instances they need precise care (the ones on SONY's notebook caught on fire, and those on B787s have ruptured; that was more of the charging system's trouble, however).

I will add more precise comments after testing it.
