Don't waste your money on this POS.  It is useless the 7.5 amp one always goes on sale for $49,$59, $79 or $99 depending on their mood.

I bought the 3.5Amp a few years ago, returned it the next day, useless.

I've got the heavier 7.5 amp one as well.  Works great.  Haven't used it much since I bought my compressor tho...

Agreed.  I bought the 7.5amp one a couple years back with a full set of Mastercraft Maximum impact sockets for $100.

Do you use the impact wrench to tighten the nuts at the wheel?
It maybe too much torque, if it is capable pumping 220lb/ft

If not what did you use to tighten the nuts?

Start them by hand, snug with impact, tighten with torque wrench.

I bought a 8.5A Maximum Strength Digital impact gun last year for $99.  The digital feature is more of a gadget than anything else but the gun itself works as advertised.

I've had one of the older versions of this beast for about 8 or 9 years. It's a tank. Wouldn't give it up for the world.
