How good are these compared to air powered?

I have the dewalt version, which is better than my air impact, but my air impact is smaller. Pound for pound air impacts are better, but I love my dewalt electric impact, better than busting out the compressor to change/rotate tires. The specs on my impact are 7.5 amp, 2700 impacts/min, and 345ft.lbs of torque.

I'm not a fan of no name tools, but for 50 bucks it's hard to go wrong, I won mine at a golf tourny but I think it retails for 200.

if going through harbor freight you may want to go with air tools man. the outlet in topeka will let you bring back air style tools and get a new one if it goes bad quickly. electric versions of the same thing....no.

Nothing from Harbor Freight is "good". If you want electric, spend the money on a Milwaukee. If you want cheap, go air.

I own that same electric impact. FYI it goes on sale for $25 occasionally. It works as advertised. I have a 260ft/lb air impact and they seem to be equally powerful...as in they both are next to useless at breaking loose stuck bolts but work well on loosening bolts that aren't stuck.

I have a 950lb/ft 3/4" air impact that I like a hell of a lot better. It's easy to turn a beefy impact down, but hard to turn a weak one up if you know what I mean.

i got the same one

and damn thats a heavy b*tch when your trying to use it for doing stuff like tightening crossmember bolts on your back

works well, but as stated sort of weak at times

i have a power inverter in the wifes car and a extension cord so if she gets a flat and im away she doesnt have to worry about a cross bar

It's about 12 years old. It's about time to replace it.

I have this for small stuff:
