Forget the rest, this Makita is the dogs. I had borrowed a friends before, did a test on a rusted on towbar bolt, and it breezed the nut off through all the way up 1" long rust encrusted exposed threads. I finally treated myself to my own wrench, for a suspension job on my BMW. Sadly, 1st time in action and it rounded one of the wheel bolts which had been rattled up way too tight at a tyre place, then torque checked! I had a look at the latest Makita 40v one, but they are even bulkier and heavier than this 1001/1002 series, so I figured 1600Nm nutbusting torque would be sufficient for most vehicle work. It's a personal choice, but I opted for the 1002 with the 1/2" sq drive, as I'd need the adapter for the 1001 with 3/4" drive, and I don't have any 3/4 drive sockets anyway. Remember you need half decent quality black heavy wall stronger sockets with an impact wrench of this power, save the cheaper crappy sockets for forcing undersized sockets over problem/half-rounded bolts. Oh, and don't use a powerful impact wrench with the spiral flute sockets with LH thread designed for rounded nuts, as this easily shatters these sockets.Read full review

Really great product much better than my old one. Used it on my car front suspension, it removed all the nuts and bolts on the lowest setting. I was really impressed with the torque. Best bit of kit i have bought in years. Would highly recommend.

very powerful and robust, well built, this makes it quite heavy if you were using it all day long, but fine in short bursts. more torque than most people would need.

Haven’t used it much in the short time I’ve had it but I can say it’s very powerful! I haven’t found 1 thing it can’t undo yet and I work in the HGV industry. Even undone some truck wheel nuts. Great product.

I've held back on buying a battery impact gun till I seen this one its probably heavier than most others but been using it for a week now+the windy gun is second best so far. Build quality is very good performance is outstanding with good battery life using 5ah batts. I'm in no doubt that it will slacken the usually stubborn hub nuts+front crank shaft bolts that give me grief in my daily jobs as vehicle mechanic+so far would highly recommend although it's size might prove awkward on some tight suspension work...love it+always looking for an excuse to put it to work.
