Those benefits were not conditioned on the positive or negative content of the review.
This appears to be a Pneutec UT 8157, which sells in Germany where it was designed for almost double. It has lots of power and will last a long time as long as it's fed oiled air.
It is advertised on the original manufacturer's website as being able to break loose max. 1100 ft.lbs in reverse.
It compares well to the Ingersoll Rand TiMAX and CP 7749.
The only problem with this tool is an optical flaw: the shiny painted hammer housing will scratch easily. As with any other impact wrench, the socket retaining ring will wear out over time.
Highly recommended.
I bought this impact gun not quite a year ago. It's primary use is at my job. I am a mechanic and needed a tough impact gun for heavy duty use. This gun started out to be just the tool I needed. Powerful, quiet, smooth and quick. However, after using it for about five months but not every day, I started to have trouble with the hog ring on the tip of the square drive. The purpose of the hog ring is to retain sockets so they don't fall off of the gun. I literally had to resort to banging on the back of the sockets to remove them. It was due to the hog ring becoming somewhat misshapened from use I guessed. I removed the hog ring and reshaped it so It would work. It only lasted for a little while and the same thing happened. This happened several times over the next few months. Finally I decided to take it in to the Sears facility where I purchased it from. My intention was to either get it replaced or at least get it repaired. Well, that was a big mistake. I was told by a female clerk that Craftsman power tools are only guaranteed for one year. I think I interrupted her coffee break. I told her that I hadn't had the tool for a year yet. She asked for my receipt of purchase. Since it is a Craftsman tool, I don't keep receipts for Craftsman tools. Lifetime guarantee right? Wrong! Needless to say, I took a broken Craftsman tool into the store and ended up leaving the store with the same broken Craftsman tool. Very disappointed.

I've had this for about 5 years now. At the time, I was looking for a good, reasonably affordable impact wrench and saw this at Sears. I bought it to take off some 36 mm axle spindle nuts of a Honda Accord. They came right off! The compressor I used was a Sears 25 gallon Craftsman Professional with a 3/8" - 50 ft. black rubber hose. I was going through the manuals and instructions for my tools and found the one for this impact wrench and it stated if the hose was going to be longer than 8 feet, then to go with a 1/2" hose. This would be something to keep in mind when purchasing this to compensate for pressure loss from long hoses. I had been using this wrench just fine for years. Great impact and affordable. It is also lightweight in comparison to a lot of other 1/2" impact wrenches. If you want to go with more torque, then I would get the IR 2135TIMax. It has 200 ft. lbs more torque than this one. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with this Craftsman 1/2" composite impact wrench.

Worked great at first, doesn't develop any useful torque anymore. Can't get service at the store, they say try the website? No help there either. Buy something else, somewhere else.

this is very good impact wrench. Plenty of power, work flawlessly with my 8 gallon Husky compressor. I had no problem with loosen lug nuts in my cars
Duluth, MN
I returned a less expensive one and bought this one. I am much happier with this one. I also upgraded my air hose to a 3/8 diameter hose but unfortunately the fixtures are still 1/4". This impact will tighten wheel lug nuts to 90 lbs. I am happy with it and plan on keeping it.

Had to do a brake job on my 2000 Nissan Frontier. What a feeling - no busted knuckles. I love this thing!
Portsmouth, VA
Serves me well in my home shop. It replaced my Craftsman impact wrench that worked great for 23 years. Hopefully this one last as long as the previous one.
Wimberley, TX
I have owned many professional impact guns as a mechanic for 20 plus years. This one far exceeds my expectations. I purchased this for home use but it can easily be used professionally.
Weatherford, TX
I borrowed a title from another review because it is so appropriate. This impact wrench is much more powerful than I expected, yet is is so smooth in its operation. I wish I had purchased it years ago!
Austin, TX
Got this impact to work on my truck and friends vehicles on the weekends. Has held up great and broken loose every bolt i have thrown at it. Used it to put a 3 inch lift on this weekend and the impact worked flawlessly. You will need a decent compressor putting out at least 4.7 CFM @ 90 psi (what the gun is rated at). Pancake compressors ain't going to break any bolts loose. Great Impact gun!
La Porte, TX
Almost to pretty to dirty up, does a great job for my purpose. Tires, stubborn bolts on my boat trailer and swing set. Kinda of heavy in weight but a has a cool grip.
