pneumatic wrench replacement

james0013 · 03-14-2015, 02:32 AM

For a while I have been looking for an electric alternative to an air compressor and a pneumatic impact wrench, the latest one to try and fail to removed the lug bolts on my E90 328Xi (torqued to spec at 120 NM) is this one from dewalt.

DEWALT 1/2 in. (13mm) Impact Wrench with Detent Pin Anvil-DW292 - The Home Depot

Any one have one of these that works and would recommend?

Good question. I was going to get an impact, but I have a small compressor. So i started looking at electric but noticed the cordless option is pretty cheap also. I saw a video on a Ryobi. I was going to get a new drill too and they have a combo kit for 120 bucks, cant beat that. Can anyone help us with their experiences using cordless? I will be using this to do a brake job, so dont need the best of the best. An occasional wheel swap at most.

I think that was the combo kit I bought first and returned to home depot because it would not break the lug nuts off

Thank you for posting. I may just get an electric because my small compressor probably won't work either. Cheapest way I think.
