Does this impact wrench actually have the power to remove lug nuts?

Yes, but if your looking for anything more get the bigger version. I use it daily for lug nut removal but anything more I use my blue impact

It did for me. I had the compressor to 90 psi and it worked fine. It did not have the power to remove the brake caliper bolts that had been on the vehicle for 110k miles though. Had to use a breaker bar and a hammer to break them free.

Yes but you will need a large enough air compressor. You can get it with a 2.5 gal tank but you will have to let it catch back up after each lug nut and at that point is just as fast with a tire iron. But if you have a good sized compressor it works great.

I have a 1983 Dodge 6 wheel dump truck. I set my small shop compressor to the recommended pressure of 90 pounds and this wrench had absolutely no problem taking painted on 7 1/1/8 nuts!! Need to buy impact sockets readily available at Loews.

It maybe because its torque range is listed from 200-900. If you aren't using torque limiting extensions there is a risk of twisting the studs off or the nut could be so tight that a person wouldn't to able to get them off. Also using any impact wrench without the torque limiting extensions can warp your disc brake rotors if you don't get each lug nut tightened equally. I hope this helps.

It's hard to guarantee that it will remove car lug nuts because there are other factors like age of the car, how much rust is on the threads and how tight were they torqued before. On a newer model car in good condition I would say yes.

NO, like on lug nuts I always use a torque wrench to tighten them, this tool has to way much power to control the amount of torque, but to loosen nuts it's awesome. I use mine often and am very happy I purchased it.

I have had mixed results with mine. Some times it will remove the lugnuts and some times I need to break them free and then I'll move over to the impact wrench to spin them off. If you are expecting it to remove them every time I would not bet on it. (I don't use to it to put on lugnuts, I tighten to spec with a torque wrench.)

I coulnd't believe it, however we used this tool to remove lug nuts from one of our skid steers on the job site where we had aflat tire and we had no other tire tools. It worked just fine these tools bare down into some kind of powerfully low torque mode and do a very good job. Since then we have bought more of this tool for our trucks to have in them. We have a lot of hitachi brands and we are very pleased.

I don't know the answer to this. However, what I do know is that this impact gun is very week and was not able to remove lug nuts on my car so I returned it. It is junk - save your money. Tool made in China. I would not recommend this to anyone to buy.

I agree, the impact wrench should only be used for the removal of the lug nuts. As for the raising and lowering of a screw or scissor jack, that would be an experiment. If you have the right sized socket, it may well work. For me I use a hydraulic jack

In my opinion no. I ended up grabbing a 20 volt lithium dewalt that works great on lug nuts. Its the one with 3 led lights built in. I bought it localy at a pawn shop in the sealed box for $80.

Don't know.This impact tool is very strong to much for use in small screw or bolt.

It can be that is what I bought it for, Mostly depends how tight you put them on. If I use my Air impact it wont take them off. But put them on with it, it will take them off. I use this on my 4x4 Offroad rig, I have 8 lugs per wheel on fine thread and was not about to use a 4-way to remove them. I also use it daily for other chores, driving lag bolts into 4x4 and 4x6 when building my privacy fence, my kids play house, out buildings, any place I can use it instead of a rachet.

A typical lug nut is 80-90 ft-lbs (*foot* pounds). Some are a little less, some are a lot more. According to the specs on this page, this tools is rated at 79 in-lbs (*inch* pounds) of torque. It really isn't even close to what you need for tires. The 20V high torque impact driver would work for tires.

It's good at removing the lug nuts off the tires on my F-150 truck. And it makes a really cool sound! ;-) Does that help?

No. It't not a torque wrench. It's an "Impact" wrench. It simply applies whatever torque is required (all the way up to it's maximum) to break fasteners loose or fasten them down. If you want to apply fasteners to a specific torque, you need a "torque" wrench.

No idea, not listed on box or B&D; web site. More relevant for impact wrench.

That is not what this tool is designed for. Lug nuts on a car require a 1/2" drive tool with H.D. torque

my truck calls for my lug nuts to torqued to 130lbs. This impact wrench could not do the job.
