Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have owned the Dewalt 1/2" Impact Wrench for several years. When I recently decided to do my own service on my 1.1/4 ton truck, I found out that the Dewalt just didn't have what it takes to loosen tire lug nuts. Enter the Milwaukee...
There is almost no way to describe this thing to you. First, it's BIG. It's not going to be the only Impact Wrench you own, because there are a lot of places it plain won't fit.
Second, it's HEAVY. Trying to hold this thing over your head to remove bolts requires some serious muscle. Not for the weak or faint of heart.
Finally, it's strong. Those lug nuts I was mentioning? Eight per wheel, and 32 total? This thing zipped the nuts off so fast I thought I had slipped off the first one! Took all 32 off, then a few hours later put all 32 back ON with one charge of the battery!!
And speaking of the battery - some genius at Milwaukee deserves a gold star. Remember when I said it won't fit certain places because of its size? Well, Milwaukee designed it so the battery can slide on from the front of the tool, or slide on from the back, and it works either way. Putting it on from the front makes the wrench shorter overall - if a little front heavy - while putting it on from the back gives you more room to get your wrench into tight spots by moving the battery pack out of the way.
BE WARNED that you should make certain you have a good set of impact sockets to go with this wrench. DO NOT attempt to use it with a standard socket, as you are likely to end up with shrapnel flying everywhere when the regular socket fails. Ask me how I know?!!
Bottom line - the tool is a little big for 'average' wrenching, but when you need to go after the big boys there is nothing like it!
Go buy one. You NEED it.

For years, tool manufacturers have been striving to produce cordless tools that are powerful enough to compete head-to-head with traditional corded tools. Here’s one case where they’ve succeeded: The Milwaukee 0779-22 V28 impact wrench is powered by a high-tech 28-volt lithium-ion battery that delivers an astonishing 3,900 in./lbs. of torque. Its high-performance, variable-speed motor operates at 1,450 rpm and produces 2,450 blows per minute of percussive force to crack free even the most rusted, frozen nuts. The industrial-quality magnesium motor housing adds durability without dramatically increasing the weight. Even so, this tool weighs in at a beefy 9 pounds.
The 0779-22 is the most powerful cordless impact wrench on the market, and it’ll handle many jobs that are typically reserved for corded or pneumatic drivers, including removing lug nuts from car, SUV and truck tires. This versatile tool can also be used to drive large lag screws and bore deep holes into wood. A steel ring is provided for attachment to the top of the tool. Use it to conveniently raise or lower the tool with a rope when working from a ladder, roof or other elevated position.
The wrench is a little over 12 inches long, but Milwaukee cleverly fitted this tool with reversible batteries that slide on from either the front or rear. When the battery is mounted on the front, the tool is a bit shorter. Sliding it on from the rear moves the battery back, allowing the wrench to reach into tighter spaces. Note that you must use heavy-duty impact sockets with this cordless wrench. Standard sockets aren’t recommended because they could shatter during use.Joseph Truini
