Hercules Brushless Impact Driver VS Lug Nuts

Testing the Hercules Brushless 20V Impact Driver on some lug nuts with a Hercules 2.0AH and 12AH battery.

Take a look at my video review on the Hercules 1/2" High Torque Impact Wrench with Extended Anvil here:

Thank you for the video! Just bought the same impact and was wondering about using it for lug nuts in a pinch. I never knew the amps of a battery made a difference in power. I thought amps was for the longevity of the battery and how long it would run. Definitely a big difference between the 2amp and the 12amp! The 12amp looks way to bulky to carry around though. Perhaps I'll get a 5amp battery and that will suffice. Thanks again man!

Just what I’m looking for, thank you for the test

honestly very impressive for a tool not at all made for unbolting things

Thanks for this video. I just bought this impact wrench and the drill driver. I thought I would need the high torque also.

I have this beautiful beast and I love it.

I wanted to test mine out, so I tightened a nut on my trailer tongue to 80 ft lbs, and with the 5ah battery my Hercules was unable to break the nut 😢

From testing videos I've seen. I think the Hercules Brushless impact driver will be just fine for lug nuts on "most" passenger vehicles. Great for changing a flat tire vs using a regular lug wrench.

If you're a mechanic changing tires all the time, then the Ultra Torque impact wrench, is the way to go.

I have this one and it wouldn’t do lug nuts torqued to 80ft lbs. specially not quick like this video. Works great if you break it loose first though. I don’t do a lot of heavy stuff so it’s great for around the house and light car maintain stuff like transmission and differential fluid changes. I would still recommend it. Hell the battery warranty. Who offers 3 year on those?

The non fuel M18 drill driver is a beast I can take off axle nuts torqued to 200 ft lbs

Really a battery that’s a little bit bigger that’s a huge difference
