Ingersoll Rand W7150-K2 1/2-Inch High-Torque Impactool, Charger, 2 Li-ion Batteries and Case Kit

I have owned this product since it was released around the end of August to early September. Other models that were under consideration were the Snap on 1/2 Impact Gun (CT7850) and also Matco's (MCL18IWVSKB2). I purchased it at an introductory price with a free extra battery. This impact gun offers incredible value for the price, when compared to the other two. I am a technician at a Mercedes Benz repair shop. I have used this gun every day since I have purchased it off of the tool truck. The gun is able to break free axle nuts (largest I tried was 36mm) crank pulleys, seized and rusted lug bolts, brake caliper bracket bolts, etc. It also works great to remove and press in ball joints. Basically, there is nothing that I have found that the gun couldn't deal with. However, I was using it to remove lug bolts two weeks ago, and the gun began to smoke and the motor became very hot. The motor stayed warm for at least 2 hours, which was very unusual. This was the first task of the day, and the gun had not been used before. Typically when you release the trigger, the anvil stops as well, but after this incident, the stop no longer works in either direction. The gun also seemed to have loss a considerable amount of power. I have sent the gun in for repair, and will update at a later time.

Pros: Good Battery Life, Battery Charges Quickly (about 30 minutes), Lithium Ion, Ergonomic design, tremendous torque.

Cons: Compared to the two mentioned above, the gun does not feel as sturdy or solid as the other two. Also the placement and size of the directional switch is not very ideal.

I have received my Impact Gun back from Repair. The gun was just completely replaced. I am a very satisifed customer and would recommend the product highly.

It's just as nice as they say it is. I haven't used any other cordless 1/2 impacts, but I've used the air versions of most (snap on, mac, matco, ingersoll). This thing will do anything the air versions will do. I pulled it out of the box and took a 1-1/2" lug nut off of a 22.5 bud rim on a tractor trailer without issue. That lug nut was installed with a 1" ingersoll air impact. You be the judge.

I was on a budget and I needed big power right away. Buying a air compressor, hose, tools and such was out of the question. I'm glad I took the chance on this cordless. Changed my mind forever when it busted loose an AXLE NUT. For those that don't know, axle nuts are several more times difficult to break loose than lug nuts, especially on a rusted wheel. That nut actually ended up breaking two of my breaker bars. But it didn't stand a chance against this cordless impact. Best tool I ever bought.
