PORTER-CABLE Impact Wrench, 450 lbs of Torque, 1/2 Inch Hog Ring, 7.5-Amp, Corded (PCE211)

These lugs were put on my a oil change place. They always over torque them. As you can see. Worked great. There were a couple reviews that made me cautious about buying this one. "This isn't a porter cable of old" Yes it is. This tool is a well made beast.took off two lugs almost instantly with no air needed "Not powerful" yeah once again I've used others that were weak like battery ones that give the rating in foot inches. Lol this one works perfect. "The tool is too heavy". Yeah I kinda feel like that is a good thing. Air tools are light because they have no motor. This has a motor and it is 7.5 horse and strong. I mean. I think it should be heavy and it is. Well made heavy metal case I love not buying Chinese knock off tools. I've learned in the first 50 years of my life cheap Chinese knock offs are horrible. Even if this thing is made in China. It works well. Feels good in the hand and works. I'll add this name to names of tools I'll buy in the future. It wasn't cheap but it wasn't overly expensive either. This is perfect for the shade tree mechanic like me to help me with jobs I don't want to do, but do because my tools make the work a lot easier. Porter Cable to me is quality.

My Porter Cable impact wrench came in ONE DAY from CPO, that is impressive ! I did a lot of research on air wrenches vs electric impact wrenches and I decided I didn't want to mass with the hoses, and oil and such. I was buying this tool for one bolt, that's all. The Porter Cable took it off in 2 seconds, maybe 2 1/2. Without it I would have likely messed around with that bolt holding a fly wheel covering the front crankshaft seal on my 2000 Saab 9-5 with a breaker bar and a pipe and a helper . . . An impact wrench was recommended for removal and installation. No complaints ! Worked perfectly. The wrench weighs 8 pounds, really beefy and is big - 12" long (add a couple 3 inches for the socket), 8" down the handle, so not for tight spaces. You need to go small air wrench for that. If you are smaller you can use two hands. There was no torquing of my arm and only slight vibration transferred. Very high quality. I went against the advice of a buddy who told me, "There is no reason for guys our age to buy tools, someone has one you can borrow." In this case it would have been several hours of travel just to borrow one. I got this fast, the job is done, worth every penny. Now, what else can I used it for . . .

I went to rotate my tires and it appears the last garage monkey to touch my truck ran the lugs on with an impact and didn't use a torque stick. He ran them on so tight the lugs were twisted in a spiral. I broke out my cheap consumer grade air impact and it wouldn't budge them. I hemmed and hawwed about taking them into a shop to have them rotated but I figured another garage monkey would just screw that up. I thought about guying a shop grade air impact but then figured I'd need a better compressor. I ran across the electric unit and was surprised they can now deliver 450 ft/lbs or torque. The reviews were good so I decided to give it a shot. It worked like a charm! It's much bigger and heavier than an air impact but considering I don't need to drag out the compressor, air hose, etc it's worth it for me. I use an impact maybe 5 - 6 times per year. This is perfect and way more convienent. I will say if you are dealing with really, really tough to remove bolts, give it a few seconds. It seems to ramp up the torque over 5 or 10 seconds. There were a few lugs where it didn't budge them at first but you can hear the sound change and within a few seconds it spun them off.

I do my own tire rotations and brake work on my vehicles. I recently bought a used vehicle that had a stripped wheel stud that I found when performing routine service. It had to be replaced. Under normal circumstances, my little pancake compressor is marginally capable of fueling my air impact wrench. For the stud work, it was very inadequate. So, I started looking at larger compressors and battery powered impacts. In the end, I settled on this tool as suiting my needs. Spared the expense/floor space of a large compressor and the chance of life/obsolescence issues with batteries. This tool is large, >12 inches, heavy (8lb); but it is powerful and convenient to use and store. I would prefer a direction switch over the rocker trigger. Be aware that it has no torque control settings and it has a lot of START/STOP fly-wheeling. I would be very cautious driving anything smaller than a lug nut or similar with it without some meaningful practice. I do like air tools. But, for the money, this tool works just fine on lugs and other large attachments and sits quietly on the shelf until I need it again. No fuss, no muss.

Good purchase

Excellent tool. Great price. I bought it to replace an ageing air impact wrench. Loads of power, makes short work of wheel lug bolts. It would be nice to have variable speed but at the price I can't complain. Now I don't have to fire up the air compressor or lug it to the work area every time I want to use an impact wrench.

Me gusta trabajar con mis carros a la hora de darles mantenimiento o reparar cualquier falla así que ya tenía tiempo pensando en adquirir una llave eléctrica de estás ya que yo no cuento con compresor de aire para trabajar con herramientas neumáticas. Iba a cambiar la bomba de aceite de mi Focus 2000 y era necesario quitar la polea del cigüeñal así que compre la herramienta para hacer el trabajo y lo hizo de maravilla, no se le dificulta quitar tornillos como este o los de las ruedas. Cualquier tornillo por más apretado que este inclusive de la suspensión, lo quita de inmediato. Les recuerdo que no es una herramienta de uso diario, pero para esos trabajos en los que requieras aflojar un perno, lo hace de maravilla. La recomiendo al 100%. En unos meses actualizaré mi reseña para ver qué tal me sigue funcionando.

I purchased this to remove a wheel nut that I wasn't able to move at all using a breaker bar and a torque wrench. It removed it in 10 seconds without any issues. I also used it on some rusted caliper bolts and again it easily did what it was supposed to do. Changing tires with this will be an absolute piece of cake. If you're planning on doing some work on your brakes or suspension, I strongly recommend also buying a long 1/2 extension. This impact wrench is pretty bulky so it may not always fit inside of the wheel even if you jack the car up. An extension will give you far more flexibility without the frustration of being stuck against an axle or a control arm for instance.

Es la llave de impacto eléctrica más potente, funciona muy bien y no hay tornillo que se le resista. Es pesada pero con gran poder de torque. Responde adecuadamente al reto de desatornillar o atornillar. Por eso es importante utilizar dados de impacto. Es una marca de prestigio para los profesionales

Muy buen producto más de dos años de uso y sigue funcionando.
