Editorial Review:
With battery-powered tools, you often have to sacrifice power for portability, but that's not the case with DeWalt's DW059K-2 Cordless Impact Wrench. This 7-1/2-pound monster nutbuster is engineered for extra-heavy-duty professional use. Its 18-volt nickel-cadmium (nicad) battery delivers an amazing 3,600 inch-pounds of torque, and 2,600 blows per minute. That's more than enough power to bust loose virtually any stubborn nut--including tire lugs--or to drive in the very longest, fattest hex-head screws or bolts.
The DW059K-2 has a two-speed, variable-speed motor that operates from zero to 1,650 rpm, and zero to 2,600 rpm; that wide operating range increases the tool's versatility and offers you more control. It also has a quick-fire rocker-switch trigger: squeeze the top half of the trigger to tighten a fastener, depress the bottom half to loosen it. The 10-3/4-inch-long wrench is equipped with a metal 1/2-inch-square detent pin anvil that holds sockets firmly in place.
Other features include an anti-slip handle, tough magnesium gear case, and an all-metal transmission for smooth operation. -- Joseph Truini

worth its weight! I was a little wary of the cordless impact tools that are out, I just didn't think they'd have the power I expect out of an impact wrench, or the battery life, or just be worth the cost. I got this to help working on restoring a 67 mustang with a lot of rusted, frozen bolts. This tool has come in handy on many occasions and it really does pack serious strength.
My only con so far with this would be its weight. To house all that strength it's a fairly beefy tool. If I were holding this all day long it... more info
DeWalt Fan This item was purchased for my husband. Every tool he owns is DeWalt. Before purchasing a cordless impact he looked at several brands. After reading up on different cordless impacts he found the DeWalt DW059K-2 to be the best on the market in his opinion. This product seems to have the most ft lbs of torque then any other cordless model, and that is what he was looking for. Thanks DeWalt!
Super Twister... I track two cars and repeatedly need to remove lug nuts. This thing twists them right off with great enthusiasm. I love it. My track buddy has one too and it makes pad changes and wheel rotations a cinch. Double battery is a bonus too, always keeps one ready to go.
Everyone needs one This is awesome product! This make changing a flat tire almost like nascar it's so good. My husband tells everyone about it.
