Powermate 024-0077CT 1/2-inch Air Impact Wrench

Wish it had a tork setting

So this particular impact wrench has been given a bit of a bad rap by a few reviewers... Not that I totally disagree with what has been said about the product, but I will say that for the money this impact gun is actually not all that bad. Face it, it's only rated for a touch over 200 ft lb of torque - I have another impact gun in my tool box that easily hits 3 1/2 times that - and in the 1/2 in. drive world, there are impact wrenches that can even exceed 800 ft lb... So if you were expecting a pit crew quality gun for this price, you were sadly mistaken. However, I will tell you that this gun has shattered a pulley-puller that I had, so it at least was able to produce enough torque to do that (yes, the puller was made of impact-grade steel... well, that's what the manual said anyway). Bottom line, for removing lug nuts or other smaller stubborn bolts, this gun will suffice fine. Yes - it will remove lug nuts like they were finger-tight... If someone says it can't remove a lug nut, they are torquing their lug nuts WAY too tight. Time to buy a torque wrench or you'll be snapping a lug soon. Just don't expect it to be the go-to gun when you encounter that 20 year old corroded nut holding your rear leaf spring on. It's probably not going to do much but make noise and frustrate you. But it's got its place in the tool box. Like the previous reviewers said - you get what you pay for. If you want a Thunder Gun, prepare to pay at least 5x the price. If you want a beginner-level gun, then this is where you can start. Cheers!

Complete garbage. All Coleman Air Tools are completely useless. Made in China. Go figure.

Background: I decided to replace my own brakes for the first time because I would rather spend the money on tools, knowledge, experience so I can do it myself for the rest of my life. I was able to get the calipers off but the bolts holding the caliper bracket wouldn't give. Heat, quenching, PB Blaster, nothing would move these bolts. I knew I needed an impact wrench.Side by Side:I first bought the Coleman Powermate 024-0077CT impact wrench because it was cheap and the specs seemed good to me. I thought 250lb of torque (Supposedly) would be enough to remove those stubborn bolts. No joy. The Coleman had a hard time with the lugnuts and didn't move the caliper bracket bolts at all.I went to a local store and purchased this Ingersoll Rand 231C wrench. I got it home and it buzzed those bolts out like they were only in finger tight! I made no changes to the air compressor and all of the other parts (e.g. air hose, sockets, etc.) were the same.Results: You really do get what you pay for. I only wish I would have read the Amazon reviews before I wasted money on the Coleman. Oh, and I paid approx $50 more than Amazon price for the IR wrench locally. :(

Unfortunatly you get what you pay for. And if you waste your money on this you'll eventually find out that it cant even take off those stubborn lugs that drove you to buy it in the first place.

No es posible que Amazon con el nivel de calidad que maneja publique un producto y entregue un modelo anterior; no estoy feliz con el producto. Es lo mismo pero de un modelo e imagen distinta.En otras palabras publican un Producto y entregan otro.No satisfecho!!!!
