I was also wondering about the description because a drill Motor with a hammering feature is something you would use with masonry bits to drill into concrete or? I don't know where that would be useful on a vehicle.

This might be off the subject slightly for years I have used the Harbor Freight 1/2" drive 12 volt impact wrenches that are made mainly for removing wheel bolts or lug nuts. However it develops enough torque to remove a Crankshaft bolt that was torqued to 240 Foot Pounds. They work almost as well as a pneumatic one.

I am supposed to have one in each Car if I remember to put it back in the trunk.

Of course it has a cord that plugs into the Cars cigarette lighter socket and the older ones also had a socket with clips for the batter. So the cord adds some incontinence and reduces portability unless you have an extra Car Battery.

I have a single extension cord I made for use at nome.

They slower then the pneumatic impacts. When you press the switch you here the Motor wirring as it build up speed and than you get a rap again followed by wirring as it build up speed repeated till the item loosens or tightens.

If you use it for what it is made for and don't bury it in the trunk where you have to hunt for it makes tire changing faster and safer because the time you are on the side of the road is reduced.
It really seeds up tire rotation day.
