    That 1/2 inch drive earth quake brand impressed me. It's great for frame and suspension bolts but expecting it to do tires is asking a bit much. I wouldn't expect it to last long doing tires, or any other electric impact. Extended time hammering creates lots of heat. Heat is the enemy of electric tools.

    I wish I had known about this before I started buying my tools a few years ago. I can no longer recommend buying some tool sets at Harbor Freight because they have a habit of skipping sizes in particular for the metric. It’s better to just buy “complete” sets of tools on Amazon, and you can also buy the next bigger size set that comes after. Then you’ll have a very complete set.

    That is exactly what I do, except it's a Harbor Freight 1/2" Earthquake Impact that I use. My batteries thank me..
