Description: Its very easy to use. In an emergency it works great. To test it out I used it to rotate my tires and it did get the lugs off (100flbs) all 4 wheels. Don't expect air tool speed. It works and does the job intended.
For the price of $20 it is a great bargain. Its intended for occasional use, so if your planning to make it a street mechanic tool, look for something different

Comes with 11/16'', 3/4'', 13/16'', 7/8'' chrome steel sockets and has an 11 foot cord.
Keywords: Emergency Impact wrench

Pros: Cheap, light weight, easy to use, and small.
Cons: It's a light duty tool which is intended for occasional use only. It will start to malfunction if used on a regular basis.

I've used these tools for years. They are not super fast in getting off a lug nut, but they do work. If you use them on a regular basis, they first start to skip hammering action beats, then sometimes the reverse will work, but there wouldn't be any forward hammering action.
