Walmart now offers a kit for the impact wrench with a 4ah battery for $75

The marketing strategy is called the "razor and blades business model". Walmart expects to sell you a fast charger, and higher-capacity batteries, when the performance of the kit items is sub par....

I had the same problem, just swapped out the battery. Has worked great since then. Mine came with the 1.5 ah and I just swapped it out with the one from the 12v drill.

There was a KZfaq reviewer, who also reviewed the hyper tuff tools and he discovered the similar thing some of the batteries only work with brushless tools, and some of the batteries only work with the brushed models from what I understand the smaller capacity batteries are not able to communicate with the brushless motor the way they do with brushed motors and vice versa

More than likely it's just too big of an amp draw for the battery size. Lithium battery have something called voltage sag. The more power you draw and the longer you draw it, the harder the voltage drops off. If you stop pulling power the voltage will go back up. It may be less of an issue on brushless because they're much more efficient so don't require as much work from the battery to put out the same power. Only way to alleviate it is to have more cells sharing the demand of the load, which is why larger packs work better.

Brother I was the one commenting on your take apart great videos and great updates. This is something I’ve ran into as well. This has something to do with the ID pin on the battery itself. And this is only present on the impact from what I’ve seen. Ratchets don’t have the receiving pin like the impact does. I’m fairly certain the ID pin is a current sense for the main board and when it senses to hard of a voltage drop it stops the tool. I even tried blocking the ID pin with some tape and the tool will do nothing but light up the fuel bar and light kind of like what happens when it “stalls”. And it WILL stall under a 4A battery too. In my case it did on two occasions on an install with where I work. The IC number that is connected to this pin is “AP4406B”. I haven’t researched it yet but this is the “brainbox” for what ever is going on here. I think it’s current sense as the pin is connected to the IC via a resistor. And yes the cells aren’t name brand like Samsungs, they are cheaper Chinese cells that are high drain but not like the big dawgs. Just thought I’d share that info. Take apart one of the batteries and check it out.

great research! i have yet to have it stall on the 4ah but i do believe u as it makes sense if its the sensor pin maybe when the cheap cells reach a certain temp and its probably because they are cheaper chinese cells i wonder if i put some samsung cells in if the box will take them lol gonna have to do some reseach

@@toolsonabudget7763I definitely think better name brand cells would help. Less voltage sag that would ultimately decrease the chance of the tool cutoff.

@toolsonabudget7763 Ай бұрын

When they r fully charged they work ok once u go to 60 percent is when they constantly stop also depends on how tough the fastener is

@bdog3106 8 ай бұрын

I would say since it comes with the 2AH batter maybe it is drawing to much power. But i think the batteries are limiting it do to voltage drop as well. At the price point of the hyper tough i wouldnt trust the battary metter to be the most accurate. Alot of brands flash like that when there is a problem maybe its mentioned somewhere

@Mixwell1983 8 ай бұрын

Same shit with the m12 stuff, driving fastners with the 2ah and 4ah you can tell the difference. The 4ah feels like it drives twice as quick.

What Walmart should do is offer a swap for the 2a battery to a 4a.

If Walmart were smart, they’d let you “build your kit” online. They need more tools in general for the platform. As it grows though? This would be ideal. Let us choose the tools and batteries we want.

With the 2ah battery, it has to be absolutely fully charged to use peak torque. The 4ah starts to cut out at one bar left.

Actually lately, some of their tools are just fine. I personally have the cordless ratchet for work in aviation, and it’s pretty nice to have for $40. Sure not as fast as other brands, but also around a third of the normal prices. I plan on trying out some of their new brushless stuff later on.
