Do not buy this impact gun!It broke the fist time I tried to use it.Amazon “help” were not helpful at all.STAY AWAY!!!

I can’t believe just how unimpressed I am with the wrench, especially for Einhell and after reading just good reviews from Germany.It’s a nice looking wrench, comfortable in the hand and nice case with two reversible sockets.I thought if I’m ever stuck with a flat tyre this would make life easier so would keep it in the car boot.Wanting to try it I decided to give it a try so I used it for swapping my 4 wheels around.I came across only 2 nuts it couldn’t remove, which wasn’t a big deal as it handled the other 18 nuts successful.However, on the third wheel I started to notice the wrench button would stick on FWD which was a real concern and dangerous doing the nuts on and couldn’t get the wrench off and was not sure how to stop it!Another thing and I don’t know if this is the way it should work, a few times you hold it in place ready the motor just spins and you have to wait for it to attempt the nut. 20 seconds plus waiting with no action at all, you just hear the wrench motor running with no action. Whether you have to wait for it to generate enough power to kick in I don’t know, I would Release the button to try again and would work.Found out it blew the fuse of the cigarette lighter early on so had to make sure the car was running throughout the other time to prevent it happening again. Which I wasn’t fond of doing while on the car Jack. A major concern for any parent with any young children inside the car especially on a rainy night on the roadside with the car running. Dread to think what could happen, you know what kids are like! If that is a concern opting for a battery impact wrench would be the preferred option in this case.Einhell could could have provided the possibility of choosing to connect directly to the battery also which would have made it easier too.I’m more than likely going to return this to Amazon because of the dangerous intermittent sticky button after such a small usage but for it to simply sit inside the boot to only use very rarely and it’s good price I may just live with these issues.

Poor product, made with cheap material. Nowwhere near enough power. Unable to recover my money as i had covid and missed the return period being so ill. I would not reccomend this.
