But it’s the same thing. The tech in those corded impact wrenches is like 80s or early 90s tech, the current DeWalr corded gun looks exactly like my B&D Industrial gun from before it became a budget brand. All of the good new tech goes into the cordless tools.

Ehh... it used to be marketed to a different type of user. The old B&D tools were a little above your divorced cat lady aunt who is their current target demo

The whole thing about lugnuts, it’s the most common thing and shops always tighten them too much so a 1/2” ratchet won’t brake the thing loose without a cheater bar and the possibility of slipping it off. Breaker bars are <$20 at HF so it’s almost a necessity, but then when you want to take a wheel off, you need to break them loose while the car is still on the ground, then lift the thing off the ground, then you can finish removing the lugs by hand. With an impact, you can lift the car first and zip em off and back on real quick.

Beyond lug nuts, there are spots where you can’t swing a breaker par, and other rusted or seized parts that don’t respond well to steady torque like a cheater pipe and the impacts will crack the thing loose. Other stuff like the wheels where it will spin with hand tools and is a pain to hold in place, but the impacts will take it off easily.

Once you start using one, it’s hard to go back to yanking on hand tools and spinning long ass bolts loose.

My old guy, not quite as electrifying.

If you’re not an retard and actually calibrate your air supply properly. Otherwise once you use a rattle gun enough, especially cordless ones with different settings, it’s easy to get close enough.
