Amazon.com Product Description
With battery-powered tools, you often have to sacrifice power for portability, but that's not the case with DeWalt's DW059K-2 Cordless Impact Wrench. This 7-1/2-pound monster nutbuster is engineered for extra-heavy-duty professional use. Its 18-volt nickel-cadmium (nicad) battery delivers an amazing 3,600 inch-pounds of torque, and 2,600 blows per minute. That's more than enough power to bust loose virtually any stubborn nut—including tire lugs—or to drive in the very longest, fattest hex-head screws or bolts.The DW059K-2 has a two-speed, variable-speed motor that operates from zero to 1,650 rpm, and zero to 2,600 rpm; that wide operating range increases the tool's versatility and offers you more control. It also has a quick-fire rocker-switch trigger: squeeze the top half of the trigger to tighten a fastener, depress the bottom half to loosen it. The 10-3/4-inch-long wrench is equipped with a metal 1/2-inch-square detent pin anvil that holds sockets firmly in place. Other features include an anti-slip handle, tough magnesium gear case, and an all-metal transmission for smooth operation. -- Joseph Truini What's in the Box

 Virtually pays for itself! September 13, 2008
Due to time constraints I picked up this impact wrench, but I was initially looking into the ingersol rand model. Since I already have a Dewalt cordless drill and experienced zero problems whatsoever, I decided I'd go ahead and make the purchase without checking any reviews!
I have to say that I am extremely happy with my purchase. Although, it was an impulse buy at Sears, I would have saved more than $50 on Amazon so buy it here! I had to take off flywheel bolts that just wouldn't budge. This impact wrench did the job! No sweat!
Another job that I had been putting off was changing my rear struts. Some mechanics quoted me upwards of $200 just for the labor, as I had already picked up new parts myself.
I had no problems loosening the lug nuts, strut mounting bolts or the strut nut on top. It took it off and tightened it with ease. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined and wouldn't mind doing the bigger projects, you'll save yourself a lot of money and time.
The only con I have experienced so far as others have mentioned is that this particular model does not have variable speed -- meaning you push the trigger and it goes full speed! There is no ramping. I'm convinced this cordless impact wrench can handle most automotive repair jobs as long as it can fit! I hope this tool lasts a very very long time.
 Removes almost no car lug nuts....... tested on random cars September 10, 2008

Fresh battery. Failed to remove 3 out of 4 lugs on a 1998 Corolla. Failed to remove 4 of 4 lugs on a small 2002 BMW. Failed to remove any lugs on a 1996 buick. I had high hopes.
 Pulled four wheel studs into place on a Suburban in five minutes. September 6, 2008
I was a little concerned about the wrench's stated torque, but bought it anyway thinking I could just use it to change tires in a hurry. Had to replace four wheel studs on a very tight hub on an older Chevy Suburban K1500 4X4. I was amazed: it only took me about five minutes to pull all of them into place. Yes, it is loud, but not as loud as a compressor and air ratchet. It took some wacking, but it got those studs in pretty fast. I am fairly certain that it doesn't really produce 300 ft.lbs., except perhaps on absolute full charge. I did the studs, both of my front wheels for brakes, and the battery wasn't showing any signs of slowing. I would definitely recommend it, unless you are going to be pulling hub nuts or something and then I would get a strong air-powered model.
worth its weight! April 9, 2008
I was a little wary of the cordless impact tools that are out, I just didn't think they'd have the power I expect out of an impact wrench, or the battery life, or just be worth the cost. I got this to help working on restoring a 67 mustang with a lot of rusted, frozen bolts. This tool has come in handy on many occasions and it really does pack serious strength.
My only con so far with this would be its weight. To house all that strength it's a fairly beefy tool. If I were holding this all day long it would start to wear on me. Since I only use it for select operations I don't have much of a problem with it.

This item was purchased for my husband. Every tool he owns is DeWalt. Before purchasing a cordless impact he looked at several brands. After reading up on different cordless impacts he found the DeWalt DW059K-2 to be the best on the market in his opinion. This product seems to have the most ft lbs of torque then any other cordless model, and that is what he was looking for. Thanks DeWalt!
