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

thumbs up

Bought this little beast after getting tired of fighting forever with a breaker bar that still couldn't get bolts off my shocks. Popped this on and had bolts off in less than 10 seconds. Whole job was done in less than an hr. Worth the $120 for this job alone. Will make things so much easier in the future and is very affordable. 5 yr warranty is nice as well. Couldn't recommend enough.

Should have purchased 20 years ago

I have two riding mowers. For years, I have used jacks and ratchets/open end wrenches to change the blades. I could not remove the 1" nuts on the newer mower with hand strength last year. I decided to try this electric model as I do not have a compressor. WOW! In seconds this tool removed the large nuts! I changed the blades on both mowers in minutes with no fruitless exertion, bruises or bleeding! I should have purchased one 20 years ago. I have only used it the 4 times, but so far so good. Ple...

Works Great.

Bought and used it on my pickup. Was surprised how well it busted lugs off truck and would recommend this to anyone. once you use it... you'll realize it's worth the money plus you get 5 or 6 sockets. Nice working impact lug buster. So glad I bought it. Truthfully...was a little weary of buying something like this without testing it but am 100% Satisfied.

Good Purchase

I had a gift card so with it and some cash I decided to pick up this tool. I've never had a problem breaking lug nuts loose with a 4 way, in fact I sometimes have applied too much force and broken the lug bolts, but there are other places where this tool will come in handy indeed. I intend to use it when changing things like wheel hub assemblies. If it works half as good as the other reviewers claim I'll be very satisfied indeed. That and I'm not getting any younger and I know I don't have t...

Excellent impact wrench

Has enough strength to tigh up or lose up anything on my car and makes my life easier

Awesome, strong tool exceeded expectations

I was always wanting to try an electric impact wrench, rather than fire up the air compressor and drag hoses around when rotating tires and such. I figured I'd splurge on this today, because I wanted to try this to get off one of those 9/16" (?) huge harmonic dampener bolts on a 25 year old Oldsmobile with a 3800 engine. That's a job that that separates the men from the boys. It spun the bolt out after about 2 seconds. (not to mention spinning the lug nuts off the wheel I had to remove first...

How does this thing have a high rating?!

On paper this gun looks fantastic. It's more powerful than most competitor's guns, comes with handy impact sockets, the case is nice, it has a 5 year warranty (and boy you'll need it), but that's the end of the good. I'm on my 4th gun!! 3 previous guns, all bought new, all failed in the exact same way within just a few months of use! The first time I was surprised and figured it a fluke. The second time I figured ok, maybe lightning can strike twice. 3rd time, forget it. The only saving gra...

An excellent product

I used this product to remove stubborn lug nuts on my car. It worked like a charm. At 300ft lbs of torque it is quite strong. However it would be nice to have adjustments for torque.

Awesome impact wrench...Real lug nut buster!

Needed to remove some over tighten lug nuts without destroying the the studs or wheels and this did the trick . This wrench is the best corded impact that I have used or owned. I have a couple of others and this is by far the only one I need to use. Excellent price and package as well...

Works good so far

Once warranty expires we will see. I found a cheaper impact wrench same style and rpms at harbor freight. $65 is much cheaper then $145 paying for a name brand. Thinking about returning this one and buying the other one that is much less that does the same thing.

1/2 impact kobalt

This 8amp 1/2 inch impact has all the power you will need to get the job done.

Great for the Homeowner/Weekend Warrior!

I love this guy! I've been going back and forth between a corded impact driver and a pneumatic. I excluded cordless in my search because I use an impact wrench maybe 4-6 times a year. I inevitably decided on this one for the following reasons: 1.) Price to power ratio. 2.) All I need is 8 amps (max) of 110 volts to run it. I don't need a large compressor, and I don't have to worry about batteries. And it doesn't even pull the full 8 amps most of the time anyway. 3.) 5 year warranty. 4.) It come...

Works perfect

Much cheaper than battery power and has great strength. I wish I had it a long time ago

awesome package

awesome package..quality with tremendous torque. Would highly recommend to the DIYer in the household

Kobalt electric impact wrench.

Really powerful. A little heavy, but plenty of power. I had tried several different ways to remove the blades from a riding lawn mower and could not get them off. This wrench busted the socket that I had and I had to get a better quality socket, then this impact wrench took the blades right off with no problem. A real beast!!
