Nice price.

I've been happy with all my HART purchases so far. seems adequate for casual DIYer
I agree a 1/2" impact wrench is what they're looking for, ideally. That said, this is rated at 1700in lbs, which is around 140ft lbs, which would LIKELY take off most lug nuts unless they were over torqued. Upgrading to a 1/2" impact wrench is a quite steep cost increase as well, usually around $125+.

Someone may have to loosen over torqued lugs the next time, but if they are doing oil changes/brakes/etc themselves, and going forward they're only ever tightening and loosening them with this, they should be fine, since it will put them on tight enough, and can take off whatever lug nut it put on.

* Note to new users...you'll also need a set of impact rated sockets. Do NOT use standard sockets. They could shatter and cause serious injury.

* * If you're buying an impact driver for a larger project, consider buying one with a larger battery, or purchase another battery in addition (one to charge while using the other), as a 1.5Ah battery is going to drain quickly. Larger capacity batteries are also able to provide maximum current and thus maximum power more reliably than smaller batteries through a majority of the capacity as well.

Is this enough torque to take a lug nut on/off a car wheel?
Yes, from experience. Gets dirty quick but does get them on and off, tightens to at least 90lbft

Will 3/8 impact wrench not be able to take a lug nut off a car wheel? How is 1/2 different from 3/8? Thanks in advance for your response.

How's the quality of the hart brand or the drill? I'm not looking for anything hardcore just mounting a TV.. but I also don't want to spend money if it's just going to be useless after a few uses
Walmart brand ryobi, good enough, but ryobi has a wider product line.

It really comes down to the torque rating, and the battery, regardless of socket size, although 1/2" is most common with impact wrenches. Larger batteries can deliver the current necessary to attain maximum torque, and adequate torque is required for removing lugs. I've heard of shops and dealerships over torqueing lugs to make it hard to people to take the wheels off themselves (?). I've never encountered a bolt that couldn't be taken off with an impact wrench. Once you're over around 400-500ft/lbs you can literally shear lugs off as we're talking about 5000-6000in/lbs of force (or more) at the threads which is enough to pass the material yield point, so no worries about stuck lugs, even cross threaded and/or galled ones.

* Always hand thread lugs on the first few turns to avoid cross threading and damaging lug nut studs. Tighten until snug and rotation largely stops, and then go a bit past, maybe a quarter turn. Overdo it and again, you may shear a stud, and/or warp an aluminum wheel.

I'm not familiar with 3/8" impact wrenches, as all that I've ever seen or used are 1/2", but you can buy adapters to step them down to 3/8" or 1/4" hex if you want to use it for other work.

I started using the Ridgid 1/2" impact wrench 6-7 years ago, and it has been a workhorse. I've removed wheel lugs and axel nuts, driven giant lag bolts into decking and concrete, and have never had one issue with it. It's rated to 400ft/lbs but has tested at 450-500ft/lbs, which is 3.5x the power of this impact driver, and they've only gotten more powerful since then. We got it for around $140 with the 4Ah battery, charger, and case around 2015, with a lifetime warranty on the tool, charger, AND BATTERY (Ridgid warranties batteries, yes batteries, for life when part of a combo kit).

Hope the information helps.

It is not. An impact wrench would better suit those needs, particularly 1/2" size.
You don't need 1/2 impact for lug nuts. DIY would get more use out of 3/8 impact. Not everyone has set of 1/2 sockets..

Received the drill someone mentioned in a day, box already opened and drill was dirty and used. Let's see what the replacement looks like next.

Yes it should be. If you take off lugs for work then get the "right" tool, but this should be completely fine for saving time at home or keeping it in your trunk.

I keep the Milwaukee m12 impact driver in my car for road trips and it takes lugs off of my civic in about 1/2 a second. Bigger vehicles or rusted vehicles will need more power obviously.

Strong & durable enough to build a medium sized deck? My first driver if it is.

3/8" drive could do it, but 1/2" drive is better for larger nuts and bolts because the sockets are beefier and more efficiently transmit the impact wrench's torque. I would typically use a 1/2" drive for anything 16mm and larger (if you can fit it into the space available), 3/8" drive for the 10mm to 19mm stuff, and 1/4" drive for fasteners up to about 12mm.

It's better to step down with a 3/8 adapter rather than step up to a 1/2. The only time it isn't is if length of the tool is an issue.

Testing on torque test channel has shown that there's almost no power difference between a 1/2 and a 3/8 in the same model line. (you do lose minor power to the adapter though, and significant amounts from extensions.)

I could be mistaken, but I believe that they had custom sockets made so that the lighter mass and thinner walls of typical 3/8" sockets didn't impact their testing.

That's accurate. They did mention spending quite a bit having it made so they could test apples to apples.

But they've also tested socket mass having relatively minimal effect on the torque output. *unless you buy explicitly weighted sockets which weigh like 1.5 lbs*

I picked up my impact driver today from Walmart but unfortunately it looks like there is an issue with the battery not charging (blinking red). Not a good first impression to be honest, was expecting to use this right out of the box. Now I'm thinking of grabbing this one instead https://slickdeals.net/f/15970378-ryobi-one-18v-cordless-1-4-in-impact-driver-kit-with-1-1-5-ah-battery-and-charger-p235ak2-the-home-depot-49-00?src=SiteSearch and returning the Hart to Walmart asap.

Apparently there is a solution for this issue in which you have to pretty much jump the impact driver battery. Either use a jump pack and some wires/blades, connect positive/negative, and jump it for a couple of seconds.
