Questions & Answers
Is this gun impactful enough to remove lug nuts from my pickup truck wile changing tires?
Thank you for your question on the XWT18Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 4-Speed Mid-Torque 1/2 in. Impact Wrench. Breaking Torque (ft.lbs./N•m) : 740 ft.lbs./1,000 N•m
What does mid torque mean
Thank you for your question about the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 4-Speed Mid Torque 1/2 in. Impact Wrench w/ Detent Anvil. Mid Torque refers to the torque range of the impact wrench. This tool uses a Brushless Motor that delivers 520 ft.lbs. of Fastening Torque and 740 ft.lbs. of Nut-Busting Torque. This impact wrench also features a 4-speed power selection switch (0-500 / 0-1,200 / 0-1,900 / 0-2,200 RPM & 0-1,000 / 0-1,700 / 0-2,400 / 0-2,700 IPM) for precise fastening control in a wide range of applications.
Manual says firm detent pin is optional how do I chose either or on website
Thank you for your question on the XWT18Z impact wrench. The XWT17 impact wrench has the O-ring. The XWT18Z comes with the firm fit detent pin. The manual is for both XWT17 and XWT18.
You can remove it if you like.
How difficult is it to disengage a socket with the detent anvil vs. one with a friction ring?
On this one the socket slides off easier with a detent, i’ve had other ones where the detent would fit in a hole on the socket and occasionally you would need a pin Or small screwdriver to push in. I like the detent better than Friction rings..
Thank you for your question. Both the detent anvil and friction ring should use mild force to detach a socket.
If you get the detent model you wont have to worry about disengaging the socket because every time you point the impact down it will fall off.
Relatively easy! I tried both and I like the detent anvil better on this model than the friction ring. Detent anvil holds even the heaviest sockets firmly and will not accidentally come off as it happens with friction rings which may get loose over time.
Don't buy this model. The detent is an utterly useless piece of junk
