- Is the TSI Cheetah IW740 powerful enough for lug nuts?
- It is a 1/2-inch drive 18V impact wrench, the class used for lug nuts. Check the rated breakaway torque against your vehicle's torque spec before relying on it for tight wheels.
- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- The listed specs do not say. Confirm whether the kit includes an 18V battery and charger, or whether it is a bare tool, before you buy.
- How does it compare with a brushed impact wrench?
- The brushless motor should run cooler and last longer, and it usually makes better use of each battery charge. Brushed models are simpler and often cheaper to replace.
- What sockets does it take?
- It uses a 1/2-inch square drive, so standard 1/2-inch impact sockets fit. Use impact-rated sockets, not chrome hand sockets, for hammering loads.
- Can it be used for light assembly work?
- Yes, but an impact wrench is coarse for small fasteners. Use low torque settings and hand-check small bolts to avoid overtightening.
- Where is the TSI Cheetah Brushless Battery Powered 1/2 Drive Impact Wrench (IW740) cheapest?
- At JB Tools, for $458.29, as of our latest check.
