As our cars have winter and summer tyres plus the requests from family "dad can you fit new discs/pads to my car" this little item seemed a good idea.
The first thing to note is that it is big and heavy so it gives some confidence that it may do the job and it does. A couple of wheels that had been fitted by a tyre dealer with the usual "I can get it even tighter" attitude needed a little help but to complain it failed when it needed a good pull on a metre long wrench to shift the nut is hardly fair. It has handled wheels properly fitted with no problem and makes changing wheels really quick and easy both removing and tightening the nuts. After tightening I have checked the nuts using the normal manufacturer supplied brace and the DeWalt seems to get about the right amount of torque.
I have seen comments that it is easy to catch the forward/reverse switch. The switch is in exactly the same place as it is on my DeWalt drill and impact driver so I see no reason why it should be a problem here and so far it hasn't been.
I can't comment on battery life as it is for DIY use and has plenty of power to remove and refit a set of tyres so extended use all day is not a requirement for me but as its only in use for a few seconds per tyre. I can't imagine it is heavy on batteries so should last a lot longer than the time it takes to charge a spare.
The bottom line is that it does all I need and is a lot more powerful than the air wrench I bought a couple of years back.
I find reviews help my purchase decisions. If this helps you please click "helpful" so I know I am not wasting my time. Thanks
