Breif Review of Harbor Freight 1/2 inch Air Impact Wrench


Having never bought anything from Harbor Freight (Fright), I decided to grab this ultra inexpensive air tool to make quick work of rotating tires. For less than $20 bucks, I thought I should give it a try. The bottom line was - it did work fine, but seemed to lack torque. I guess this shouldn't be a surprise, but I really wonder if it really has a max torque of 250 ft-lbs.

In the end, I did return the item without any problems, so no major complaints, but probably not the best tool for stubborn, rusted bolts. Considering higher end air impact wrenches are many times the price ( over $100 ) of this one, one can't be too critical.
