Due to time constraints I picked up this impact wrench, but I was initially looking into the ingersol rand model. Since I already have a Dewalt cordless drill and experienced zero problems whatsoever, I decided I'd go ahead and make the purchase without checking any reviews!
I have to say that I am extremely happy with my purchase. Although, it was an impulse buy at Sears, I would have saved more than $50 on Amazon so buy it here! I had to take off flywheel bolts that just wouldn't budge. This impact wrench did the job! No sweat!
Another job that I had been putting off was changing my rear struts. Some mechanics quoted me upwards of $200 just for the labor, as I had already picked up new parts myself.
I had no problems loosening the lug nuts, strut mounting bolts or the strut nut on top. It took it off and tightened it with ease. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined and wouldn't mind doing the bigger projects, you'll save yourself a lot of money and time.
The only con I have experienced so far as others have mentioned is that this particular model does not have variable speed -- meaning you push the trigger and it goes full speed! There is no ramping. I'm convinced this cordless impact wrench can handle most automotive repair jobs as long as it can fit! I hope this tool lasts a very very long time. |

| Fresh battery. Failed to remove 3 out of 4 lugs on a 1998 Corolla. Failed to remove 4 of 4 lugs on a small 2002 BMW. Failed to remove any lugs on a 1996 buick. I had high hopes. |

 "Pulled four wheel studs into place on a Suburban in five minutes." | 2008-09-06 |

| I was a little concerned about the wrench's stated torque, but bought it anyway thinking I could just use it to change tires in a hurry. Had to replace four wheel studs on a very tight hub on an older Chevy Suburban K1500 4X4. I was amazed: it only took me about five minutes to pull all of them into place. Yes, it is loud, but not as loud as a compressor and air ratchet. It took some wacking, but it got those studs in pretty fast. I am fairly certain that it doesn't really produce 300 ft.lbs., except perhaps on absolute full charge. I did the studs, both of my front wheels for brakes, and the battery wasn't showing any signs of slowing. I would definitely recommend it, unless you are going to be pulling hub nuts or something and then I would get a strong air-powered model. |

I was a little wary of the cordless impact tools that are out, I just didn't think they'd have the power I expect out of an impact wrench, or the battery life, or just be worth the cost. I got this to help working on restoring a 67 mustang with a lot of rusted, frozen bolts. This tool has come in handy on many occasions and it really does pack serious strength.
My only con so far with this would be its weight. To house all that strength it's a fairly beefy tool. If I were holding this all day long it would start to wear on me. Since I only use it for select operations I don't have much of a problem with it. |

| This item was purchased for my husband. Every tool he owns is DeWalt. Before purchasing a cordless impact he looked at several brands. After reading up on different cordless impacts he found the DeWalt DW059K-2 to be the best on the market in his opinion. This product seems to have the most ft lbs of torque then any other cordless model, and that is what he was looking for. Thanks DeWalt! |

| I track two cars and repeatedly need to remove lug nuts. This thing twists them right off with great enthusiasm. I love it. My track buddy has one too and it makes pad changes and wheel rotations a cinch. Double battery is a bonus too, always keeps one ready to go. |

I spend a lot of time at the track with my car and I end up doing a lot of wheel changes. I've owned a number of different tools for the job and borrowed a lot of others... which is how I came across this one and decided to buy it. I've been happy with it ever since. It delivers enough power - quickly - to break loose lug nuts that are on tight or are stuck in place by months of road grime. When tightening, it seats the wheel nicely against the hub. Overall, it makes the job of changing wheels much easier and much faster.
In addition to being useful and delivering power, it's been very durable (been knocked around more than its fair share) and shows reasonable battery life.
A good tool at a good price. Recommended. |

| It is a well balanced tool, great for working on cars. It's very portable and handy to taking out to the junk yard for pulling parts or for roadside repairs. The battery has a good long run time and plenty of power. It is worth every penny. |
