Thats a lot of torque, is it adjustable, for example if you use too much torque on a lug that what come off, will it round the nuts off? or when putting them on how far do you know to run it up?
There is no setting to adjust the torque, I only use it for taking off the tires to play it safe.

Thanks for all the advice. And Rob thanks for the lead but was too impatient to wait to go to St Caths!

Changed to my snows today and have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the Makita. It removed all of my lug nuts and made the job go faster. Also used it for some drywalling in my garage. Handy tool to have around!!

Reviving an old thread. Picked up a Dewalt DCK240C2 20 volt Drill and Driver combo from Lowes today for $189 plus got a scratch and save discount of $10. I haven't used the drill yet but that little DCF885 1/4 inch Impact Driver is just awesome.

EDIT: Original price was $229, save $40 until Dec.16

The Dewalt 20V impacts are amazing. I have the 20V max XR and even not on sale it's worth buying. Absolutely LOVE it.

Right now at Home Depot if you buy the combo kit (20V Max XR impact & hammer drill + 2 batteries/charger) for $299 you get an additional tool of $179 value included.... so I added the 6.5" 20V max circular saw!

Can't go wrong with that combo!

The 771 Drill didn't work out for what I need it for, it was too long, I need a more compact drill for my project. Today I returned the kit and got a Milwaukee 2691-22 combo for the same price. The body of the Milwaukee drill is over an inch and a half shorter and I got a free battery worth $99.
