I was thinking of buying a electric impact driver that uses a cord, instead of a cordless one, because I am sick of taking off my lug nuts by hand. I was going to get eithor a 1/4 inch or 1/2 electric model by porter cable or craftsman. Will this be strong enough to remove and put back on lug nuts w…

So should I get a corded or cordless impact driver? Let’s forget about the tire iron debate.

Corded because when you want to use it you don’t have to wait for batteries that need charged. It isn’t like you are going to use this thing every day is it?

When buying a drill, I made a mistake and listened to my friend and got a cordless. The problem is I don’t use it daily, maybe once a month at most and every time I need it the battery is low on charge. I would had been perfectly fine with a cord and extensions.

I’ve had my DeWalt 18 volt impact gun for years. [image] Not only does it remove lug nuts, but other hardware on a vehicle. I take it to the U-pull yard to quickly disassemble vehicles for parts. I’ve had people at the yard ask me if they could use it because of…

My son has been buying several new tools & he has been buying Rigid brand . Rigid has a lifetime warranty on the tools & even on the 2 batteries that come with the set .
