Milwaukee 1/2in. Impact Wrench delivers 325 ft.-lbs. of maximum torque, the most of any cordless impact wrench, and is powered by the revolutionary 28 Volt Lithium-Ion battery pack, exclusively from Milwaukee.

Plus, the powerful Milwaukee 28V motor makes breaking loose stuck nuts a breeze. The V28 battery pack weighs less than an 18V pack yet delivers two times the run time.

For years, tool manufacturers have been striving to produce cordless tools that are powerful enough to compete head-to-head with traditional corded tools. Here’s one case where they’ve succeeded: The Milwaukee 0779-22 V28 impact wrench is powered by a high-tech 28-volt lithium-ion battery that delivers an astonishing 3,900 in./lbs. of torque. Its high-performance, variable-speed motor operates at 1,450 rpm and produces 2,450 blows per minute of percussive force to crack free even the most rusted, frozen nuts. The industrial-quality magnesium motor housing adds durability without dramatically increasing the weight. Even so, this tool weighs in at a beefy 9 pounds.

The 0779-22 is the most powerful cordless impact wrench on the market, and it’ll handle many jobs that are typically reserved for corded or pneumatic drivers, including removing lug nuts from car, SUV and truck tires. This versatile tool can also be used to drive large lag screws and bore deep holes into wood. A steel ring is provided for attachment to the top of the tool. Use it to conveniently raise or lower the tool with a rope when working from a ladder, roof or other elevated position.

The wrench is a little over 12 inches long, but Milwaukee cleverly fitted this tool with reversible batteries that slide on from either the front or rear. When the battery is mounted on the front, the tool is a bit shorter. Sliding it on from the rear moves the battery back, allowing the wrench to reach into tighter spaces. Note that you must use heavy-duty impact sockets with this cordless wrench. Standard sockets aren’t recommended because they could shatter during use.Joseph Truini
