Impact Recommendations

[matthewy03]

So I am now in the market for a good impact. It will mainly be fore taking tires off and doing minor things. Not going to be rebuilding engines or anything. But I don't want a piece of junk either. Anybody have any good recommendations. Looking to spend 60 bucks or less. Quite a few places have 30 dollar ones but i really don't know if those are junk or not.

Here are a couple im looking at:

Harbor Freight

Lowes

Thanks!

I have a really nice Craftsman Pro air impact wrench from my days as a HD tech but now a days I use my HF elec impact rather than pumping up the compressor....!! it is huge and loud but for busting lug nuts or cranking down my spring compressors, it gets the job done just fine.

it was under $50 I think....

I bought one of these to do lawnmower blades and anything else I run into with frozen bolts. It works very well and does not cost an arm and a leg! I have a $30 HF model and it would not move the blade bolts but this baby popped them off in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the replies. I am looking for an air one, i think the cordless battery one would be nice if you got it in a set with other tools so you only have one kind of battery for everything. I just got a new ( to me ) air compressor so i kind of want an air powered one, plus i think it will last a lot longer than the battery powered one.

Try to find a good used one, Harbor freight tools are a joke and can be dangerous. Look around at area pawn shops. I use a mac AW434, if you see one get it. Also invest in some good impact sockets.

The Klutch one looks pretty good, but its also 100 dollars plus shipping. I also found one that doesn't look too bad for 60 bucks plus shipping, but i am not for sure the difference is worth 40 bucks. Can anybody that knows impacts a little better than me compare these three and see if its worth it or not. This is just to do some minor work on vehicles, taking lug nuts off, break jobs and what not.

sorry for all the posts, but i think i found the one I am after. Its a Klutch and its a compact one that looks like it will fit in all the tight places and still be strong enough for the things I need.

Its a little more than i wanted to pay but i think in the end I will be getting a good tool that I can keep for a long time.
