So I’m not going to lie I am a major tool addict and my favourite cordless power tools have got to be the Ingersoll Rand IQV20 18V (20V Max) of which I only have one cordless IR power tool being the IQV20 W3131 3/8” drive impact wrench coming in just a little under the brake away #’s of its half inch drive bigger brother the 3/8 is rated for around depending on where you read Braden around 350 to 400 foot pounds so it’s right there at the mid torque level kind of at the top of the numbers in a way and far far more than what I need on the average every day for what I do mechanic by trade however, they spent my career in automotive manufacturing of first response, emergency service vehicles and now I spend a majority of my time in the in shop working on small gas and motorcycles specifically Harley Davidson‘s along with routine maintenance of my own vehicles changing wheels that sort of thing I know I would consider it at the do it yourself, hobbies level, but having a formal background and having spent my career using hand tools and power tools, I got preferences, obviously, but I also have the experience to be able to handle the tool and be able to tell if it’s likely of reasonable quality I mean there’s bad parts and flaws in the metals in every batch right like it’s not because they’re low quality or anything else I’ve you can get a fisher Hollow bubbles in the casting that’s not detected and leads to wrench shearing off under minimal strain like it happens. I’m far from a tool snob either I tend to pick what works what has good tolerance and I’m not afraid to spend the money to buy for for example, the Mac tools RBRT hex and Torx bits and bit sockets because they work my choice in IR was as much about high quality with the high. End specs for the money when compared with the tool truck options so the majority of this review is going to be kind of focussed on the comparison between what I currently have which would be the particular IR the Bosch freak which is a quarter inch hex impact driver is built into a half inch square drive anvil along it use it like an impact wrench 18 V brushless and it’s supposed to come in at around 1800 inch pounds that works out to about 150 foot pounds there’s also a offbrand 20 V half inch what called high torque that claims to have 400 foot pounds or 460 foot pound breakaway I don’t feel it’s fair to add that in this as you get that for about $100 with two batteries and four wheel lug sockets and it quite fair to say an entry-level model of very low quality there’s also a 12 V Milwaukee 3453 impact driver which is rated in at 1500 inch pound breakaway which is actually shocking 125 foot pounds being 12 V and for size and compared to the Bosch freak that’s formidable even with the three amp battery which makes the size of the grip even the whole way down. It skips having the extra rows of batteries underneath giving it to square bottom making it even nicer package as far as being compact and it’s convenient and Ihave a love for the Milwaukee M-12 family of 12V tools truthfully I still have a hard time believing that these tools are actually as powerful as they truly are as a product of the 1990’s I came from the time that 12V power tools were essentially viewed as garbage and most certainly couldn’t replace their corded or pneumatic counterparts and the batteries were just a nightmare charge it too soon because it’s down to half the cars on the charger indicator and it’s so obvious that the voltage drop is effecting the speed and torque of your drills or impacts that it couldn’t keep driving 2” deck screws without stalling out halfway light duty tasks like small pilot holes with an extremely sharp drill bit etc. were doable but I digress what would happen you’d stick the batteries to charge “just this once” or something would need to be done and your only battery was charging and only 60-75% charged so like we all do still to this day we go plug in that half charged battery or take that battery that’s only a little bit better than half charged off the charger for that one little job that could’ve waited but your in a roll and getting things done off the to do list that’s been in the too do list for over 6 months now whatever the reason and when your done with the tools half the population will regardless of battery charge will pop their barley used batteries back on the chargers or have batteries in the tools and all the spares permanently on the chargers plugged in so there’s always a fully charged battery waiting for you being the NiCad batteries they never stood a chance really it wasn’t until relatively recently with the proliferation of modern lithium cells that battery memory is kind of become a thing of the past as far as the way it used to be yeah OK overtime they don’t hold as much of a charge as they used to, but that’s just lots of capacity over it service life of being cycled and natural phenomenon that said I am also a fan of the DeWalt 20 V max platform of batteries if for nothing else there tendency to be readily available and for tools both of that brand name and like the specific focus of this review other brands building “quality tools that are based around compatibility with a given platform of batteries, whether that’s the M 18 for Milwaukee, the core from Bosch, the 20 V max fromDewalt and so on it’s really nice being able to have interchangeability between tools and options for lower cost items, especially for things that I’ll be at necessary are something that I would use often enough or rely on to the point of being able to justify full price of brand-name tools and the availability of aftermarket generic batteries compatible with that platform, which in my experience up to now has been excessively positive there are some brands that seem to be a little better quality than others or offer quality of life features that even the brand name doesn’t offer like the battery level button on the real DeWalt batteries you press it and it goes off as soon as you let it go, whereas many of the aftermarket variance have a momentary switch so that you push it and there’s a 10 second on so eat that battery level is displayed for about 10 seconds after you press the button and even if the abrading is Genier most times it’s relatively honest. I feel it if you get a five amp battery. You might only really have four but it’s still a good high amp battery or like with the Milwaukee 12 V I find when comparing them the generic nine amp batteries seem to be the equivalent of the six amp brand name versions all to say that being able to get a generic to or a different brand name of tool made for the platform in which I have a surplus of batteries to support is an asset because buying tool charger battery combos are prohibitively expensive at this pointtheir tools are getting to the point that they’re costing as much as what it used to cost for a full set, used to be able to get a decent impact with battery in charge for about what that same impact will go for now as a bar toolIt’s also nice to not have to either pay hundreds of dollars for each battery to have extras or to end up being stuck with seven and eight chargers in some cases. If every time you were to buy the tool you buy the combo set. It’s great having a spare charger, I will not deny I have spares for almost all of my chargers, so that gives me the luxury of keeping one in my workspace and one in my house because depending on the situation, it puts one closer than the other etc. so now that we’ve gotten past the preamble to kind of give you the gist of my experience and comparison or what I’m comparing this to I must say that I was immediately taking it back by how substantial this impact is taking it out of the box as a bear tool it weighs pretty close if not the same then slightly more than my entire IR impact wrench with the 5.6 amp battery attached it’s on her or very close to one part two my brother-in-law‘s high to Mac impact. I forget the model but comes in at 1600 foot pounds and it feels very similar to it actually, and it has a very similar weight to the Milwaukee high torque that has right around the same 50 or 1600 foot pound breakaway that one of my close friends recently acquired comparing that to the last allegedly high to half inch impact that I acquired being an Aedead or something like that which don’t get me wrong for the money and what it’s aimed at it’s more than sufficient for somebody just just starting. It’s kind of nice that it comes with a set of four of the most common sizes for wheel lugs but with a battery installed that half inch impact always about the same as my. Bosch hammer drill and unlike that it just feels cheap almost toy likeI haven’t been able to put any real amount of time into it so far I’ve loosened and tightened a handful of wheel lugs and tried it out with a range of different aftermarket dewalt style 20V max batteries and keep in mind that it is simply first impressions at this point and just basic function test, which it passed with flying colors. It fits the hand well it breaks bolts loose without even pretending to struggle.all in all at the price point it seems like a no brainer time will tell as far as quality and reliability the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is simply because the belt clip that’s supposed to be included and allows for it to be mounted on either left or right side of the base of the tool was not included in the box I’ve reached out to the manufacturer and depending how they handle that relatively minor “issue”will determine weather the rating remains the same goes up to 5 full stars or possibly drops down because bad customer service is bad customer service right regardless of that as of right now it appears to be an extremely well made affordable alternative to the brand name options it does the thing and it does it extremely well time will tell but as of right now I have high hopes for this impact wrench!

Disclaimer: I'm a spreadsheet guru, not a mechanic. I like to change my own tires to save money, so this review is from an average joe who learned how to change tires on YouTube and is upgrading from a breaker bar to this.What you need to know before you buy:This doesn't come with a battery and requires a DeWalt 20v battery to operate. I know it's stated several times, but better safe than sorry.What I like:This speeds things up considerably for me and I love the variable speed on the trigger as that helps when setting the lug nuts without over tightening them so that I can finish with my torque wrench.Surprised by:The weight of this thing. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it has to weigh 10lbs or so plus the battery. I find the little belt clip to be laughable considering that - who's attaching this to a belt?Overall:It's going to make my two vehicle, twice a year, tire swap much faster and easier. I've already had my neighbour ask to borrow it, so I can see it getting some additional use.

This is not your average garage impact wrench. The ReliaRoads 900 ft-lbs cordless beast is built for heavy-duty jobs — and it's clear from the moment you hold it. Pair it with an 8Ah DeWalt battery and you’ve got a well-balanced, industrial-grade power tool ready to obliterate rusted bolts and deep anchors.What stands out:Build quality is excellent – thick rubberized grips, scratch-resistant casing, and a reassuring heftSocket retention is superior – hog ring instead of the usual ball detent, holds fast and never left a socket behindTrigger control is smooth, with precise RPM modulationThree speed settings help throttle down the power, but be warned: it's just RPM capping, not torque limiting. Still easy to over-torque if you're not carefulBattery indicator on the tool itself – brilliant touch, makes operation faster and cleanerTorque output is serious – I sunk 16 large anchor bolts into pressure-treated lumber and the socket got hot before the motor even blinkedBrushless motor is quiet, efficient, and clearly well-madeMinor quirks:RPM ramps up slowly (~1 second to full), which might annoy some but improves safetyToo powerful for delicate jobs – overkill unless you’re routinely handling large hardware or rusted machineryNo kickback control – you need to have solid arms and grip, or it will yank your wristBottom line:Not a toy. Not even close. This is a true industrial-class impact wrench. May be more than most homeowners need — but if you ever face a bolt that’s laughed at your old tools, this will wipe that grin off instantly. It's now a permanent fixture in my toolbox. Just don't forget: it’s only a tool-only version, so you need a compatible DeWalt battery ready to go.

I'm generally pretty suspicious of products that appear like they may be a clone of a name brand, but this one has really impressed me.The good:- Very Robust: As others have mentioned, this thing is solid and feels built to last. Most of the weight is indeed in the head, but that balances out with the addition of the battery. Speaking of which...- Battery Compatibility: Having full compatibility with Dewalt's 20V batteries is helpful. Given this is an impact wrench, you'll probably want to use a high AH battery, but even the lowly batteries that come with Dewalt's entry-level drills will do- Variable Speed: I wasn't really expecting a variable speed option at this price point, but this unit allows for 3 optionsThe less good:- Fit and finish: This seems like where some of these devices often fall short, and this is no exception. While the tool is robust and feels built to last, the decals were starting to peel off out of the box, and the wrench head came oily out of the package. Not deducting stars for this, as you really can't argue the price impact here thoughThis is an absolutely excellent tool for the price ($115.49CDN at review time), and I can see myself buying more tools from this brand in the future. If they get a handle on some of their final fit and finish, ReliaRoads could be an strong contender for a solid value brand.

I wasn't sure of how this impact would compare to the more traditional impacts I have used(air/elec) bit I'm happy to say this one works great!

Waow!!im happy with this tool take my tundra tiers screws off its not super strong but has the strength of two men i want to say i try it on my mower rusty blades nut and took it right off so its great tool for 68 dollars better then harbor freight tools to be honest and lest money!!! Dont know how long will last i dont use it daily so thats that!! I know it will take my truck screws/bolts out for sure!!! I use dewalt batteries 1.5AH and 5AH run the same speed hope help any if you guys

Powerful and great price.

Why spend $200.00 more on a Dewalt when this bad boy does exact same thing!

Really good wrench. I bought another and returned it bc it wouldn't remove rusted bolts. Bolts were so hard i couldn't even remove with the star. This took them right off. This wrench is powerful.

This impact accepts DeWalt style 20V batteries which makes it good choice for those of us already using DeWalt products. It is, apparently, a Chinese clone which may mean that there are compromises in the quality that just aren't visible to the naked eye. However, it does appear to be well built and has a solid feel to it.It offers three speeds and also a bright 'work light' behind the anvil. The body style, with a few cosmetic changes, appears to be offered by a number of suppliers on Amazon. This is my first purchase from the Reliaroads Company but a look around their website gives an indication that they are expanding and at least plan to be a player in the battery powered tools marketplace.For me, I think this is a good choice for the average DIY'er who has an occasional need for an impact wrench of this size. If I were a pro using it daily I'd probably grit my teeth, spend more, and go with an established name brand but after testing this one out I really can't find anything major that, so far, strikes me as being a significant issue.

Unfortunately the wrench doesn't come with the required DeWalt battery or charger (4 Ah recommended), but it still turned out to be better than I expected. The tool itself is incredibly heavy in the hands - which is what you'd expect from an impact wrench - but I honestly didn't think the build would be this good on something that's essentially battery powered. The weight is obviously head heavy too, but once you install the battery (the bigger the better), it balances out closer to the trigger. Fantastic rubber grip so it holds well to my Mechanix gloves, and the battery life indicator on the bottom was a stroke of brilliance. Kinda wish it had 4 bars, but it's still better than nothing.As for anvil, it's incredibly strong and takes my adapters without issue. The work light on the front comes on the moment the trigger is pulled, but it would've been nice if it came with an external toggle because you kinda need to see where you're aiming before you start cranking away. Also would've been nice to have it turned off in the daytime just to save on battery. And the direction toggle - it's kinda weak tbh. It clicks just fine, but I kinda wish it was tighter just to avoid accidental pushes.Otherwise the performance is well above average. So much more powerful than my standard 20V B&D drills, and you can absolutely use it with two hands, regardless of what the manual recommends. Just make sure to tighten your bolts with a manual torque wrench after you seat them with this thing, just so you don't overpower the metal. Another feature I like is the variable speed trigger. My old plug-in impact wrench also has one so it didn't take much for me to get used to the feel. Honestly though, if I had to choose between the two, I'd take this baby every time because of the mobility and convenience. You can even carry it around in the trunk in case of a flat too.Really the only issue is the lack of a hard case so it is just the bare tool. Comes with a belt clip which I found to be a little amusing because it's just far too heavy to carry on the hip, even with a strong belt. I'd put the weight at somewhere close to 9 lbs, closer to 10 with the battery. But as for the profile, it's essentially perfect and only slightly larger than my handheld drills. Exceptional power for its size, and the fact that you can vary the torque using the mode selector on the bottom merits extra points. Well built, convenient and powerful. For a battery powered tool, I'd put it at 4.8/5 stars overall. A darn good score.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but this ReliaRoads 900 Ft-lbs Cordless Impact Wrench really blew me away. It's super powerful — even the really stubborn bolts come off without a fight. The brushless motor is great too; it runs smoothly and doesn’t get crazy hot after a few uses.I love that it works with my Dewalt batteries. The three different speed settings make it really easy to control depending on the job, and it’s surprisingly comfortable to hold for a longer stretch. Overall, I think it's definitely a must-have whether you’re doing big projects or just working around the garage.

Bought this tool to replace my stolen dewalt impact wrench. I use it mostly for removing the wheel nuts, calipers for brake pads installation. from my car. It is a pretty powerful machine for the price. It delivers very constant torque unlike some machines that I've used where they start strong and loose power halfway into the job.
