GUYS Please understand this is just a torque test, no you shouldn’t buy this impact to remove lug nuts with on a semi truck !! This is just to see if it will do the advertised 600 ft lbs that it claims to do. Use some common sense and know this is just to TEST the impact without us building some kind of elaborate testing rig and having to put it in a vise. This was a quick way to do a test that can be torqued safely to the maximum amount the impact can do. And YES THERE WILL BE TORQUE LOSS BECAUSE OF THE ADAPTER, we know this !

I did not buy it, I kept it for a good while and used it to give feedback on it. It’s a strong impact but for me it was a little too big and was more on the heavy side than I preferred. But to each their own what they like in impacts. I’m not a fan of the Milwaukee full size 3/8” either I still prefer the Snap On CT761 for its size to power to weight ratio. If I’m going to use an impact that is the same size as an air impact and heavier than air, me personally I rather have an air impact. It’s always lighter, stronger and no batteries to die or have to replace.
