I didn't know they had a 12v cigar lighter impact wrench, lol! That's actually pretty smart for road side emergency. Which DeWalt impact do you have? Is it the high torque one? Now I don't know about their bleeder kit but my Maddox oil filter wrench set has two exactly the same thing and I haven't went back and swap out yet since I don't use it that often. I only used them because the shop sometimes overtightens the oil filters and they're really difficult to take off. Now that I maintain them myself, I can untighten the oil filter with an oil filter wrench unless they have required torque spec.

@@yihuandiy6355 I wish it was the new DCF900… or the DCF899… or literally ANY high-torque impact wrench… but it wasn’t even an impact wrench. It was a DeWALT DCF809B compact impact driver (brushless, Atomic, 20V Max)… part of their 2-tool Black Friday deal at Home Depot. Not their best but, then again, who knows what would have happened if the 1/2-inch impact adapter hadn’t snapped at the first or second blow (just like yours did). The experience did leave me looking for deals on a true high-torque model like DCF899, DCF900, or the new Hercules “Ultra Torque.” I wrote that before I was able to finish the job in the morning and a lot more happened. I got a ride to Harbor Freight to return the Pittsburgh one-man brake bleeder as soon as they opened. This time I opted to spend twice as much on the MityVac MV8000 only to find that neither of the two bleeder adapters fit… and both are the same size (6mm). Some of the cone-shaped nozzles might’ve fit inside my brake bleeder nipple but I didn’t resort to that since I could do a traditional two-person brake bleed with the person who gave me a ride… my brother who was at work when I had to give up the previous day. So when it was time to mount it all back I tried to use a lug nut to hold the brake rotor and found that 3 of the 5 lug nuts could not be threaded on by hand. Thankfully, I still had someone to give me a ride to the parts store for replacements. After setting my torque wrench to the specified 100 foot pounds for my vehicle, I found that the first lug nut wouldn’t even begin to tighten. It simply pulled all of the threads off the stud as one clean coil/spring! They were clearly damaged when removing the lug nut due to someone over tightening before. There was body damage around that wheel and it was the only hub that was still shiny (others were rusted). There were junkyard numbers painted inside the rim so it was clear that a previous owner replaced the hub after an accident… before promptly damaging its new studs by over tightening! Yeah, it might be overkill for me to get a true high-torque cordless impact wrench but I don’t want to ever find myself in that situation again. I mean, I’m driving around on four of five studs right now since there’s almost no chance I’ll be able to get the spindle nut off without a good impact wrench. That’ll be my next big purchase, though I might go for a DeWALT Atomic XR 1/2-inch impact instead of a true high-torque. Despite getting up early to start as soon as possible I was still very late for my shift at work! It just took too long to finish all that.

Nice! This is the first impact that I've ever had and I'm very happy with it. Word on the street that Bauer will release its high torque impact in February. I'd be really happy if it can perform any where near the Hercules ultra, which makes 1900 ft lb break away torque. I was eyeing Milwaukee and Dewault. Both are really good but kinda pricy for a weekend warrior like me. I'll slowly upgrade into those when the time comes, lol.

​@@yihuandiy6355 From the tests that i have seen the milwaukee impact wrenches are superior but they are both a good buy, it just depends on what platform tou like better. Personally I'm team red

Same. Bauer does have a wider selection of tools for house use though, so I was torn.

Hi Kravchan, you're probably right! I believe a lot of tools made in China looks the same and even has the same design on the inside. The only difference is probably on the material they use to make the tools and the precision of assembly. Copying tested design might not help you win in a competition but surely can give you above average performance for a fraction of the price.

@@yihuandiy6355 yeah, that's a fine approach, to get right amount of quality and to keep cost down. Chinese brands requires a some knowledge of tools and materials to pick the right one, to get this fracture of a cost and not get fooled. The more you know, the more you can get out of it. People in my place even weld their own custom batteries, with x1.5 power of branded one, but for 1/3 of its cost, like 21700 cells, two level option. Since, its the same, makita type, lock pattern, people use it on variety if tools.

According to Google, 2019 Honda accord wheel lug nuts are torqued to 80 lb/ft. This impact should take the lug nuts off like a piece of cake. I don't think you need any adapter for the lug nut. You just need a 19mm 1/2" socket. Any 1/2" socket set from HF that has a 19mm would work. There's also lug nut sockets that has rubber sleeve that protects the rim if your budget allows.

@@yihuandiy6355 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should've gotten the 20v impact 1/2 when it was on sale but I hessitated . Thank you again.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback! Certainly! I hope I can get a jig at some point so I can test high torques, too!

As long as the extension is straight it does not "rob" any torque

Hi Daniel, I don't think I'll get the Bauer high torque any time soon mainly because I'm not working on anything that requires a high torque impact at the moment. The torque test channel just released a review for the Bauer high torque (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLxlpriAlc6-mJc.html), though. Based on the review, I'd say it's a great bargain for DIYers, but the quality might not hold up as good as the Hercules impact for professional setting.

Haha, come on buddy, these are relatively new! I was too cheap to buy it at full price so I waited for Christmas to get it on a discount XD

Nothing wrong with waiting 😁

Not sure if that was meant to be a joke or not... They aren't old. Granted, this wasn't made on their release date, but they are still quite new to the market.
