Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 8-Amp 1/4-in Drive Corded Impact Wrench

Kobalt 8-Amp 1/2-in Corded Impact Wrench

The impact worked as designed. The carrying has come in very handy and the scoket worked well.

Used it twice

Did not last much, It did help with the wheels, but used it to loosen the truck bed from the frame, and it quickly failed just smelled burned. You could hear the motor but no spinning.

Tire changer

It was a little heavy and big but works great for the power in changing the tires.

Kobalt 8-Amp 1/2-in Corded Impact Wrench

Good wrench rated at 350 ft lbs, removed a strut nut and bolt tighten at 416 ft lbs at assembly line on a pickup that was on for 7 plus years .

Great tool - works fantastic!

Needed a tool to remove the spindles and blades from my lawn mower deck. This tool worked like a champ. Very impressed with the power/torque. Definitely recommend.

Good price.

Can't beat the price for a home DIY kind of Weekend guy.

Great Impact Wrench

Before getting the Kobalt impact wrench I did research between getting an air compressor or a battery powered impact wrench and I have to say that getting the corded impact wrench was the best choice for me and the price was awesome too. The impact wrench has power and is easy to use.

Even I couldn't budge this nut

Worked for me

I have a lawn business with commercial equipment. I generally use a pipe for leverage to bust off the blades. I had bolts that were so tight the old way wasn't getting it done this time. I took probably 30 seconds to get each bolt off the blade. I should have bought one years ago, instead of busting my hands up all the time.

Did the Job

I have done a lot of brake jobs and hand tools were always enough. Had four bolts that would not budge. I have never used one of these before so I was not sure if I was buying the right thing. With multiple applications of PB Blaster and hammering on a wrench I had nothing to show. This tool took them off as if they were hand tight. A few thoughts to share: 1) This thing is big and I struggled to get it positioned. 2) I tried to use an adaptor with a universal joint to get the upper bolts an...

Do it yourselfer

Awesome,awsome,awesome just as powerful as air impact and a lot less troublesome

Solid impact

Used it for suspension components. Hits hard and reliably. Solid tool!

For lag bolts...

I had three different brands of electric impact wrenches to choose from locally and chose the Kobalt based soley on the reviews. I was afraid I’d buy one only to have it burn up half way through and lose progress on my job. To my surprise, it worked well. I’ve never owned one before so I’m unable to compare it to others but I can say it was able to consecutively drive 34- 1/2” X 4” galvanized lag bolts through a treated ledger board into the house rim joist with a 3/8” pilot hole and it didn’t b...
