Ingersoll Rand W7150-K1 ½” Hi-Torque Impact One Battery Kit, Gray

This tool is serious business!!! I do like power tools not only as a tool but also as modern art man toys. Ok, I agree, I'm a little bit crazy but this is true :) This tool has enough torque to do everything I reckon a DIY or even a pro (which I'm afraid I'm not) can do with a car... wow I'm amazed. Look how easy it is even when I'm right handed and in this video of me trying the tool for the very first time, I'm using my left hand. It is fantastic!!! I was very nervous about buying an impact wrench because first of all, I know absolute nothing about impact wrenches of any kind and second, I needed the tool was able to work my cars toughest nuts like the ones in the suspension and tires. The thing is though, While I loooooove DIY and loooove fixing (sometimes what I get is the opposite :) ) my cars, I have wrecked 4 of my intervertebral discs. First because I got too fat, second because I've been careless and finally because I'm not getting any younger so now I need real support from my tools for me to be able to keep my hobbies in sync with my health. I has to say, this may be my very first really pro battery power tool but hope is not going to be the last!!! I mean, this thing is FANTASTIC!!! While I live in a tropical country with a very mild climate and no rust anywhere either in my 8 years Ford Explorer truck (the one in the video) or my car which is 10 years older (but good looking as the owner LoL ) this tool can handle absolutely every thing it can reach, amazingly easy... If you're in the market looking for something like this, go ahead and buy one... you won't regret. Is this tool better than the Snap-on? I don't have a single clue but this thing sure is cheaper, strong, powerful, solid, etc... you get the point right? :) Thank you very much for watching and for reading!!! See you next review :) JP

This tool is rather impressive. I did a lot of homework before making the investment in this everyday carry of mine. Unfortunately, the gears in the planetary gearset went out after a few weeks of use. It was soon enough that I returned to amazon with the intent of exchanging it. Amazon did not have this as an option and refunded the money to me the day after I dropped it off at UPS. Well enough, because at the time an unexpected expense arose and I could now cover with the refund. I absolutely will be buying another one soon as I believe the failure in my tool was a low likely factor defect as it would skip and stutter while impacting. It has all the power someone looking for a 1/2" impact could require. Charge time from dead was less than three hours. Due to the choice of battery type (Lithium Ion rather than NiCad) you don't have to completely discharge the battery before charging, meaning if you are working in a shop, with a charger accessible, a single 5AH battery is all you need. Even if you let the battery charge drop fairly low, the impact will just keep giving it or you can place the battery on the charger for a quick top off. A must have for road or field technicians or just you're average joe wanting the power of a pneumatic impact, without the cost of money and space of compressors and hoses, not to mention the noise a compression pump produces. "Did I oil this today? This week? Where's the tool oil?" With the battery operated impact, you have no worries of tool maintenance. Just keep some juice in the battery and keep it clean (something anyone whom is proud of their tools will do) Well guys, that is it from me tonight on this tool review, perhaps next time I will get to make a video. And yes, having a brake when you release the trigger is pretty sweet.

I was skeptical at first but figured since I was purchasing off Amazon, if it turned out to be junk (or anything short of what was purported from the description) I would just return it. I wouldn't DREAM of returning this gun! Battery life is SUPERB, power is INSANE, and overall, it almost seems too good to be true. Recently, I had an emergency service call I had to make (New Year's Day). An Isuzu NPR had caught a nail in the left front and was stuck on the side of the highway. I packed a couple of tools in a bag (Matco Air Impact, Snap-On Cordless, and Ingersoll-Rand Cordless) and hopped in the truck (Freightliner with onboard air). Yeah...lol...Matco and Snap-On couldn't even budge the lug nuts...this gun got the job done. Have yet to drop it, so I don't know how "sturdy" it is. I will say, however, that the "feel" of construction doesn't inspire much confidence. I'll update if opinion changes, but for now it's a no brainer....in other words, if you're considering this purchase, you'd have no brain if you went with ANYTHING else...lol **UPDATE - 11.30.2014** Well, almost a year now and still going strong! Have yet to find something this gun couldn't break free! This thing even pulls the crank pulley bolts out of Honda engines (notorious for being virtually impossible to remove)!!! Battery endurance seems to be just as strong as it was in the beginning. Considering that I use this gun every single day of the week and it has quite literally replaced my Matco air gun, I must say it truly is a no brainer! Happy shopping!

As a Canadian shopper, I've been eyeing this tool on amazon.com (US) for a while, waiting for an opportunity to go to the US to buy. Then I just happened to check amazon.ca (again) and with the currency conversion it's priced quite competitively. The tool is excellent. 3AH batteries are the way to go, they last a long time and you get two with this kit. Hard plastic case is nice. Very happy to see amazon.ca is starting to catch up with it's american site in terms of pricing and shipping! Thanks

Esta hecha para trabajos duros y el torque es lo mejor

Muy util

Don't hesitate to buy this impact. This thing is amazing, and way better than air impact wrenches because there is no hose or cord. A single charge lasts a long time too. We have used it to change the depth of 80 shanks on an 80 ft air drill. It had power to spare after. I loved the first one so much, I bought a second one. And I just ordered four of the 3/8" impacts in the same line for more light duty jobs.
