cordless impact gun

I tried the Northern Tool one, more powerful than the Goodyear. However, unless it had a full charge, it couldn't break free my lug bolts, so I returned it.

Snap On is the only way to go, just costs a pretty penny.

I have an 18 volt dewault, and it will not break the lugs loose.

I do not personally own a snap-on battery powered impact gun, but have used one in the past. Nor do I have any experience with other companies products, but the snap-on one was always reliable and was capable of breaking lug nuts and bolts loose all the time.

Buy nice or buy twice....

I can tell ya, that harbor freight gun isn't going to take off lug nuts. You need something with at least 350 ft lbs of torque...

snap on is the way to go in my opinion.

so in other words, it's useless since it can't do the task it was designed for.
