Cordless impact wrenches are handheld power tools that use rotational force, or torque, to loosen or tighten nuts, bolts, and screws. Unlike traditional wrenches, they feature an internal hammer mechanism that delivers sudden, strong bursts of force to the fastener, making them useful for heavy-duty tasks. They are powered by rechargeable batteries and offer the convenience of portability and mobility.
The power output of the tool, measured in torque (usually in foot-pounds), determines its capacity for heavy-duty tasks. Look for a wrench with a high torque rating that can handle the types of jobs you need to do.
Battery life
Since cordless impact wrenches are powered by batteries, it's important to consider the runtime and recharge time of the battery. Look for a wrench with a long battery life that can handle the demands of your work without needing frequent recharging.
Size and weight
The size and weight of the wrench can impact its ease of use and portability. Consider how comfortable the tool is to hold and manoeuvre for extended periods of time, and whether it's easy to carry around.
Speed and control
A variable speed trigger and adjustable torque settings can help you control the power and speed of the wrench to match the needs of your task. Look for a wrench that offers multiple speed and torque settings for greater versatility.
Durability
Cordless impact wrenches are designed to withstand heavy use, but some models may be more durable than others. Look for a wrench with a sturdy construction, good quality materials, and a warranty to ensure long-lasting performance.

FAQs
What is the difference between an impact driver and an impact wrench?
An impact driver is designed for driving screws and smaller fasteners, while an impact wrench is designed for heavy-duty tasks that require high levels of torque, and the ability to loosen or tighten larger bolts, nuts, and screws.
How much torque do I need in an impact wrench?
The amount of torque you need will depend on the types of jobs you will be doing. For most automotive and construction tasks, a wrench with a torque output of 200-300 ft-lbs should be sufficient. However, for more heavy-duty tasks, you may need a wrench with a higher torque rating.
Can I use an impact wrench to remove lug nuts from my car?
Yes, an impact wrench is a popular tool for removing lug nuts from cars and other vehicles. However, it's important to make sure you use the correct size and torque setting to avoid damaging the nuts or other parts of the vehicle.
