Product Description:

With battery-powered tools, you often have to sacrifice power for portability, but that’s not the case with DeWalt’s DW059K-2 Cordless Impact Wrench. This 7-1/2-pound monster nutbuster is engineered for extra-heavy-duty professional use. Its 18-volt nickel-cadmium (nicad) battery delivers an amazing 3,600 inch-pounds of torque, and 2,600 blows per minute. That’s more than enough power to bust loose virtually any stubborn nut—including tire lugs—or to drive in the very longest, fattest hex-head screws or bolts.

The DW059K-2 has a two-speed, variable-speed motor that operates from zero to 1,650 rpm, and zero to 2,600 rpm; that wide operating range increases the tool’s versatility and offers you more control. It also has a quick-fire rocker-switch trigger: squeeze the top half of the trigger to tighten a fastener, depress the bottom half to loosen it. The 10-3/4-inch-long wrench is equipped with a metal 1/2-inch-square detent pin anvil that holds sockets firmly in place.

Other features include an anti-slip handle, tough magnesium gear case, and an all-metal transmission for smooth operation. -- Joseph Truini

Great product2008-11-25
I have had this for just around a year. I love it. My dad loves it so much I bought him one.
Good tool2008-11-10
Good tool, quite powerful. I use it a lot when I work on my truck.
Well built, rugged and strong.
Battery life is great.

However it is very noisy (need protection), has no brake, very heavy and is not as powerful as expected.
Th esocket attachement is not practical at all.
Very Nice 1/2" Impact Wrench2008-10-17
I ordered the Dewalt 6 piece 18 volt tool combo but I didn't realize the included impact wrench was a 1/4". I ordered this 1/2" to use on my track car. It works extremely well. The battery lasts a very long time and the wrench will pull off my 80lb torqued lug nuts even when the battery is starting to go. It's expensive but it's a great tool. Consider when buying that you do get 2 batteries and a charger with it, one of the reasons it's so expensive.
Virtually pays for itself!2008-09-13
Due to time constraints I picked up this impact wrench, but I was initially looking into the ingersol rand model. Since I already have a Dewalt cordless drill and experienced zero problems whatsoever, I decided I'd go ahead and make the purchase without checking any reviews!

I have to say that I am extremely happy with my purchase. Although, it was an impulse buy at Sears, I would have saved more than $50 on Amazon so buy it here! I had to take off flywheel bolts that just wouldn't budge. This impact wrench did the job! No sweat!

Another job that I had been putting off was changing my rear struts. Some mechanics quoted me upwards of $200 just for the labor, as I had already picked up new parts myself.

I had no problems loosening the lug nuts, strut mounting bolts or the strut nut on top. It took it off and tightened it with ease. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined and wouldn't mind doing the bigger projects, you'll save yourself a lot of money and time.

The only con I have experienced so far as others have mentioned is that this particular model does not have variable speed -- meaning you push the trigger and it goes full speed! There is no ramping. I'm convinced this cordless impact wrench can handle most automotive repair jobs as long as it can fit! I hope this tool lasts a very very long time.
Removes almost no car lug nuts....... tested on random cars2008-09-10
Fresh battery. Failed to remove 3 out of 4 lugs on a 1998 Corolla. Failed to remove 4 of 4 lugs on a small 2002 BMW. Failed to remove any lugs on a 1996 buick. I had high hopes.
