Craftsman  C3 19.2-volt Cordless Impact Wrench 17090

I am pleased with the purchase of the C3-19.2 1/2in Impact driver! I have had to use this tool a couple of times removing lug-nuts, and aside from needing maybe a slight improvement on the delivery of the power, maybe trying one of the Lithium batteries, the impact driver did NOT let me down!! Even on removing lugs that were installed with a pneumatic wrench!

I was holding out on buying this impact wrench for about 2 years. not because of money, but because i was worried about its performance and the other reviews people had. I finally bought it after two years of just waiting and thinking. Boy i tell you. It really is a **** good impact wrench. It does what it says and its perfect. I used it with my craftsman deep impact socket on my Honda Accord and it zips the lug nut right off. I did many test on my car with this impact wrench and it works great. It works just as good as a Snap On impact wrench. Overall its a **** good impact wrench. People with bad reviews is just hating or they got a bad messed up impact wrench. I recommend it. If you was like me and was thinking and waiting to buy this. Trust me. Go ahead. Its worth it.

Took 5 secs to remove nuts torqued to 120 ft-lbs on my camper. I'm sure it could do more but that's all I need it for. Well built and glad I have an impact wrench now.

I'm a professional mechanic and use this tool a lot for removing lugs. It works great. I read some reviews stating that this tool would not do this but I have removed lugs torqued to 125 ft lb many times. Perhaps there lugs were over tightened or they may have gotten a defective tool but mine works perfect. It does drain a battery quickly so I would recomend buying extra batterys to be able to swap out when they get weak. Also, NEVER tighten your lug nuts with this tool (or any other impact tool) without using the proper touque stick. Torque sticks limit the amount of torque applied to a lug nut allowing for proper torque. Overtighting your lugs can cause damage to your wheel hubs and warp your brake rotors.

I purchased this impact driver about a week ago. Today I decided to rotate the tires on my wife's car. It not only broke the lugs free but after changing the tires it tightened them very well. I know because I went over them with my breaker bar and none of them could be tightened any further. I also own a pneumatic impact wrench and in my opinion this cordless impact wrench (#17090) is just as impressive. By the way I also used my new 19.2v XCP high capacity lithium-ion battery. I don't know if that made a difference but what a combo.

Love it

I used this wrench as soon as it arrived to take off 2 wheels with snow tires that had been driven thru alot of snow without hubcaps protecting the lugs. I had put these wheels on a couple of weeks before, with a large 4-way lug wrench, and tightened them as tight as I could get them. This cordless wrench loosened every lug nut on its own. I think this is a great wrench! I also tightened the standard wheels with it, then used the lug wrench to see if they were tight and they were. I did use a fully charged ion battery with it.

seen this being used in a youtube vid, sure enough, unzipped a 160ft/lb hub nut bolt with no problems at all. makes changing a tire a breeze. compact, lightweight. wow, very impressed

So with a fully charged Lithium pack could not break the lugs on my truck loose (125 FT LBS, torqued by an actual torque wrench). Tried two different ones, neither worked. Crafstman power tools don't seem to be where they need to be.
