Nice..I also wanted one of these or perhaps snapon’s version..it gets very tiring to have to setup up the compressor all the time
Not a bad little wrench. Not quite up to the specs of my air impact, but certainly a lot more convenient, especially when I am stuck working on something that isn’t right in front of my house. Thanks for the review!
i got in touch with jb tools he said he can’t get them with a au plug and he doesn’t know if it can run of U.S. 240v i’m just wondering because if it can i can just put on a new AU plug. but if it can’t i will need a transformer
Great video man. Love to watch tool reviews. Whatcha think you’ll be doing next?
Im currently in the market for a good torque wrench and would love to watch a review on some of those… not sure if that would please the masses however.

The next video is already done and it is a tool(s) that have been a long standing request at ETCG. Truth is that people are starting to take notice of what I’m doing with the reviews and they’re starting to send me stuff. I almost think at this point I won’t have to plan any new tools I can just pick from the stuff that gets sent.
It’s good to be me. 🙂 It’s good to be you too because I don’t plan to sugar coat bad tools. If it’s a crap tool I’m going to call it out. I plan to keep the reviews honest. Otherwise, why bother?
Hey Eric,
I totally love your video’s.
It looked in this video as if you overtorqued the lugnuts with the full force of the impact tool.
These lugnuts usually need something like 100Nm/70ftlbs.Keep up the good work!

I appreciate your concern, but I don’t think it’s an issue here. Also, I think it’s 80lbft. I have addressed this concern in the past.
Is it me or did you just skip over the rubber “grommet” issue at ~5:47
granted you did hit your brand new tool with a hammer (I loled), but in this case I think it may be poor craftsmanship and not user abuse.
Are these rings considered consumables by the manufacturer? is it just an O ring or what?
The tool was fresh out of the box so it wasn’t abuse. The rings are replaceable and do wear out. In this case there is a rubber ‘o’ ring under the metal ring. It just happened to roll up. It would likely work even if the rubber ‘o’ ring wasn’t there. In short, it’s not a major concern.
[quote=”Matchi” post=86173]Any news after 3 months of using? How is it compared to the DeWald 18v?
Greets from Germany[/quote]
The AC Delco is holding up fine. I’ve actually had it for almost 6 months now. You really can’t compare it to the DeWalt however as that was a 3/8 tool, this was a 1/2.
Ah… didnt see that. Sadly in Germany there is no one selling the AC Delco stuff. The usual suspects (Bosch, Ryobi, Makita, Metabo) are much weaker.. about 200-400 NM and a lot more expensive.. hm :/
i bought mine ac delco impact from jb tools it cost a bit more in postage to aus then what it is for usa as to be expected but they helped as best as they could they couldn’t get me a 240v charger but i went to the ac delco website and they sent me one with the right plug for 240v aus for $40us plus postage no idea what it would cost for a impact gun with charger from ac delco website (no reps in aus for ac delco for me either)had no troubles with it so far p.s. there made by durofix

I hadn’t considered you needing a different charger in AUS. Keep us posted on how the tool works out for you. Thanks for your input.
