Husky HSTC4151 Pneumatic Impact Wrench

I purchased this Husky ½ inch air Impact Wrench about 3 months ago, I have a Craftsman ½ air impact wrench and ratchet set but it did not have enough torque to remove lug nuts, so I upgraded to the Husky. Let me start by saying even though some people don’t like husky tools, mainly because they are made in China, or Taiwan. This ½ impact wrench is awesome. Now I wanted an Ingersoll Rand impact wrench, just don’t see the need to dish out 150 bucks for something that as of right now I’m only going to use from time to time. For fewer than 60 bucks the Husky will do just fine.

 I've taken plenty of lug nuts off my Honda Accord, my buddy’s F350 dully, and as you can see in my picture, even my take home Crown Victoria squad car. Now on the Crown Victoria, every time it’s taken to the shop for service, they use an air impact wrench to tighten the bolts down. They over tighten them, which is the wrong thing to do. They should use a torque wrench set at 100 ft. lbs.’ which is what I do when I get home from the shop. The Husky HSTC4151 which from the looks of it is identical to the HSTC4150, has plenty of power for most DIY projects. Now I don’t use it for work, I’m not a mechanic by trade, but I believe with 650 Ft Lbs. of torque, it can handle most DIY projects.
