Airboss AW-280GL 1" 16LBS US Germany Award Winning Lightweight Air Impact Wrench 6" Shaft 2200 ft-lb Nut Busting Torque Weighs 16.1 lbs Twin Hammer Magnesium Alloy Design

The best gun

This thing will save your back. It weighs 16 lbs which is 1/3 the weight of my other impact. And is more powerful than my heavier impact.

Works pretty good. I use this tool daily removing tractor trailer tires. It's light weight really helps reduce the workload.

I’m not gonna lie this little gun must have some new tech smaller but more powerful motor inside this u it here kicks and I work heavy duty trucks and trailers all day long everyday I’ve only used it for 2 days now but I oiled it up first day as you always should keep them metal parts lubricated and damn this thing kicks as* I will make a later review so far I live it it weighs about half the weight of the harbor freight big 1” impact and it kicks as hard or harder I think

I'm going to start out by saying that I am not a professional mechanic, I'm a hobbyist at best. I've been working on a couple of projects and I came across this impact gun and thought I would give it a try on my current project. I've said before something was a beast- This is on a whole new level. This is like the Paul Bunyan of all impact wrenches! I don't think you'll find a nut or a bolt on this planet that this wrench can't tighten or loosen. It's extremely easy to use and is incredibly overbuilt. Weighing in at about 17 pounds, this is not going to be your everyday use impact wrench. This is going to be for those very specific use cases with either ginormous nuts or a nut that's so seized on no other tool can free it. This thing is much larger than your typical impact wrench It looks and feels more like a small jackhammer than an impact wrench. Again, this thing weighs like 17 pounds. This is meant for massive projects. This has the power to budget nearly any bolt, if there's a bolt holding the earth on its center axis, you're going to want this wrench to loosen it. This thing has some massive power behind it. One thing I can tell you is that this isn't even going to think about running on a small compressor like a pancake compressor. It struggled running on my 80 gallon upright shock compressor. I did get it to successfully run on my screw compressor though. So unless you have industrial air compressors you're not even going to have enough air to use this tool. Last, and probably the biggest reason why I took one star off is due to price. When I got this just a few weeks ago the price was almost $900. Today, it has a list price of $650. A $250 difference in the matter of a couple of weeks is not an accident. This brand is consistently the most expensive brand on Amazon. Every other impact with comparable specs is listed from between $150 and $250. This particular wrench is listed multiple times, from as low as $580 up to $650. How can the same wrench be $250 cheaper today and be sold By multiple different vendors with varying prices of greater than $100 between each one? Bottom line, this is, at best, a $300 wrench! I probably would not have investigated the prices as deeply as I did had I not noticed the severe drop in price from just a few weeks ago when I got this. I would highly suggest doing extensive research and your own homework before purchasing this, It seems that they're having trouble picking a fair price and sticking to it. I really wanted to absolutely love this, but the games with the price has really turned me off.

This tool was for my husband’s business and he stated that this product was everything that the description stated.

I do vintage cars and truck restoration and maintenance as my hobby, and lately, I have been fighting a losing battle against rusted lug nuts that seem fused to the axles by sheer spite. My old impact wrench was screaming for mercy, and using a cheater bar was absolutely killing my back. I needed a serious upgrade, something that didn't just ask the bolts to move but commanded them to let go. That is when I stumbled upon this award-winning unit that promised high-end German engineering and massive torque without weighing a ton, so I decided to make the investment. What grabbed my attention initially wasn't just the professional blue paint job but the impressive specifications hiding underneath the housing. It features a magnesium alloy body which drastically cuts down the weight compared to the cast iron giants I am used to hauling around the workshop. Inside, it packs a CNC-machined cast steel motor rather than the cheaper iron powder casting found in budget tools, which speaks volumes about its long-term reliability. The most impressive element for me, however, is that eight-inch extended anvil paired with a D-handle, designed specifically to reach into deep wheel wells while keeping the tool steady. I put it to the test immediately on a rusted tractor rim that had stumped me for two days. I hooked it up to my shop’s high-flow air line, gripped the anti-slip handle, and pulled the trigger. The response was immediate and terrifyingly effective. That stubborn lug nut spun off as if it were finger-tight. Despite spinning with 3000 foot-pounds of force, the vibration didn't rattle my teeth out, and the weight distribution felt surprisingly manageable. It is definitely heavy, but it does not feel like you are wrestling a bear, allowing me to work longer without my arms turning to jelly. While I am thoroughly impressed, there are a few things you need to know before buying. This beast is thirsty; do not expect to run it off a small pancake compressor or a skinny quarter-inch hose. You need a high-capacity setup with a thick hose to feed it the air volume it craves, or you will not get that top-tier performance. Also, it didn't come with any air fittings, so I had to scramble to find the right coupler. A few minor finish details, like the trigger feel, could be slightly more refined, but these are small gripes compared to the raw power it delivers. In the end, this tool is a professional investment that pays for itself in time saved and frustration avoided. It bridges the gap between unwieldy industrial tools and usable workshop equipment. If you deal with heavy machinery, this is the muscle you need. Bottom line: This impact wrench is an absolute powerhouse designed for mechanics who routinely battle frozen, rusted, or over-torqued fasteners on heavy equipment. The combination of the magnesium body and the cast steel motor creates a tool that is incredibly durable yet manageable to hold. It delivers massive torque that laughs at stubborn bolts, provided you have a compressor large enough to support its air consumption needs. While it requires a proper high-flow air setup to shine, the efficiency and back-saving performance make it worth every penny for professional use. Fantastic 5-star product hands down, very highly recommended! Pros: 1. Massive torque removes rusted bolts easily. 2. Magnesium alloy body reduces tool weight. 3. Extended anvil reaches deep wheel wells. 4. Cast steel motor ensures long durability. 5. Comfortable anti-slip grip improves handling. 6. Balanced design reduces user arm fatigue. 7. Forward and reverse controls work smoothly. 8. Performs well on heavy farm machinery. 9. Excellent German designed engineering and quality. 10. Saves tons of time on difficult removal jobs. Cons: 1. Requires large compressor for maximum power. 2. Air fittings are not included inside.

I don't need an air wrench of this capability. I ordered it without understanding what I was getting. However, since adding it to my DIY workshop, I have found a steady stream of work disassembling semi tractors, stripping nuclear attack submarines for their hardware, tightening up the frames of Soviet public housing projects and generating localized cyclones with every pull of the trigger. This is a powerful tool, and there is probably no rusty bolt that can withstand it. Mind you, you may vaporize any bolt that thinks of resisting, and possibly your workpiece too. It's very heavy, like no way can you do long continuous sessions with this thing unless you are Paul Bunyan. It also drinks a lot of air, so expect a lot of recharging. I'm going to pass it on eventually because I'm just not the guy who can give it a good home. But for you perhaps, a good piece of kit.
