I am a truck driver and I use an impact wrench often for changing tires. (my loader operator runs into my tires a lot.)

The one I had was not a craftsman, but when it was stolen, I baught the Craftsman. I am very pleased with it. I works better than my old high dollar one. Haven't had it slip on me once and I love the replacement guarantee that Sears and Craftsman offer. I also since have purchased numerous other Craftsman tools and am extremely pleased with their performance. I haven't had the unfortunate opportunity to utilize the replacement guarantee, and that speaks volumes for me.

I researched the web for a 1/2" impact wrench that would do any job for a reasonable price. There are cheaper ones out there, but they may not be able to loosen your bolt/nut. This baby sings. The reverse torque is awesome. The forward torque is adjustable. It performs. One caution. Craftsman makes more than one "Craftsman Professional 1/2 in. Impact Wrench". Be sure you get this one. It's better than the other(s). Sears item# 00919864000 Mfr. model# 19864. One anecdote. I was removing the flywheel nut from a 1988 CRX. I borrowed 3 wrenches from friends (all 1/2" impact wrenches). They just hammered and hammered, but couldn't break the nut loose. (Blew and Blew and couldn't blow the house down). This guy broke it loose in 2 seconds flat (or less, maybe...I was expecting to sit and hammer for a while but it almost immediately broke loose)....

IndyMotoGP says "great power" about Craftsman Professional 1/2 in. Impact Wrench

I got the impact after trying to loosen axle nuts on a civic. The impact (also craftsman) that came with the compressor wouldn't do the job. I tried using a breaker bar with a long cheater bar and ended up making a trip to sears to replace the breaker bar. I couldn't believe how fast it broke the nut lose. The only reason I didn't rate it five stars is because I haven't had it long enough to determine how reliable it is....

I bought this impact over 2 years ago. I have been very impressed with the reverse power. I had a friend that could not break an axle nut off his acura and asked me to come over to see what I could do. He had a 6ft pipe and a socket and could not break it loose. I used a small portable tank and my impact and had it off in under 30 seconds. Great product and I cant say I oil it every time. Only thing I would like to see is a nice rubber cover made for it. Now it is time for me to put a seal in the trigger as it is finally loosing air. I use this 4-5 time a week, building rotary motors, removing and installing them. Chad - Middle TN...

This gun is made for craftsmen by florida pnuematic. Bought this gun used from a diesel mechanic. 4 years old now and can still break nuts and bolts free. Took lugnuts off of a school bus that the shop 3/4 could't do....

After 3-4 months of use, and oiling it daily like the instructions said, the hammer mechanism broke. The pins inside the transmission sheared right off. It had decent power, while it worked....

Within one year of purchase it has broken twice on me. Once it would work under load and now the drive bit doesn't even spin. I oiled it daily and took care of it, but the quality of this impact gun has left me disappointed....

I've just recently purchased this air tool to disassemble an old car. It really works great. Very lightweight and comfortable. I have a small compressor, so I like this tool because it uses little air. Excellent bang for the buck. Have to be careful with all that torque... it'll snap small bolt heads off if you're too heavy on the trigger!!...

Jeff says "A co-worker of mine uses one of these....." about Craftsman Professional 1/2 in. Impact Wrench

I am a mold setter in an injection molding plant. One of our primary tools is the impact gun. Many of us have been supplying our own impacts, because the company impacts are AWFUL! They are not particularly powerful, are trouble-prone and seem to weigh a TON. Myself, I got an Ingersoll-Rand 2135Ti (through Sears), and am VERY satisfied with it. The guy I work with most of the time got himself one of these (Craftsman #19864). I have used his impact on several occasions, and it is very good too. Not quite as powerful as my IR going forward, but about as powerful in reverse. It is also fairly light and very well balanced. Very little vibration and kinda quiet as well. I also like the finger-groove grip. Very comfortable to use. This co-worker of mine has had and used his Craftsman for about five months of very rough usage, and it is still going strong. The (about) $180 price tag is certainly attractive. About $200 less than those company impacts, and it is still a good bit better. ......
