    cordless impact wrenches

    Does anyone have any experience with these? On occasion Princess Auto carries a 24V one, and Dewalt has a 36V one that is rated at over 300 ft/lb torque.

    Do these things last? Can they crack a lug nut? Is the battery good for more than 5 minutes?

    I would recommend the Milwaukee V28 Impact Wrench. It's damn expenive, but worth it. It is a clunker but can produce 325 ft. lbs of torque.

    Dewalt 36V one is probably just as good and a little cheaper.

      Best value for your money is going to be anything with a lithium-ion battery.
      Personal experience using the Makita impact with the li. batteries is excellent.
      Stay away from any Princess Auto brand of cordless.
      The makita also has a nice led light which points directly at what your working on.
      I'm sure Dewalt or Milwaukee make excellent wrenches as well.

        We use only Dewalts. Have tried many others especially the cheaper brands and always come back to Dewalt. I often buy new ones on Ebay and once you have the batteries you can buy drills, flashlights, etc.

            Thanks for the reply.

            Is it a problem weed for you and if so, how did you control it?

            Thanks,

            Joe

              we have had problems with it in the past always used prepass or express in the spring or spectrum in crop. However since we started spraying prepass in fall as late as possible, we noticed way less problems with nlhb, dandelions, and cleavers. I think express would work just as well and am interested in trying express pro this fall. My opinion is timing is everything and we have been surprised with how late in the fall you can spray a frost at night is not necessarily the end of spraying we are goin till mid oct or till we get atleast -10, but if conditions improve we keep spraying. We are definitely finding better control with this approach than spring app.

                Interesting Macdon, do you use your prepass or express without the glyphosate?
                Prepass comes with but I wonder if can save the glyphosate for to spray another time and perhaps the prepass or express will controle the weeds just as well. Purhaps they would need an adjuvant.
                Joe NLHB has been controled here as far as I know by just using roundup in the fall. Like Macdon says express or prepass with the roundup would be hotter for sure.

                  I found it especially bad after peas for some reason. I agree with others fall control is best but as a last resort frontline 24d will smoke it in a wheat crop. or refine with some 24d thrown in for good measure.

                    Express pack has been the best in crop chem I've ever seen for controling nlhb and it's dirt cheap but you miss alot of other stuff so...But early control is key, late fall chem with residual or get it first thing in the spring with express and glyphosate. Prepass isn't as strong on it.
