Lowest I've seen this go by a decent amount. This is the top dog 20v impact with 1200 fastening 1750 breakaway torque. I'm not ready to retire my 899 for it (probably would just get a 900 anyway) but if you need the big boy this is the best deal so far.

The only negative is it's so powerful for a 1/2 drive that it will likely destroy most sockets in a short time. Rounding out the square drive of the sockets.
That, and it's really jittery and heavy. If you need it, you need it, but there are much better options for routine use - unless your job is fixing something like tanks and bulldozers.

This ^

Unless you are working on construction equipment or trying out for a season of Gold Rush, this is way too OP for most people's needs. If you are a car mechanic and are using this to torque down lug nuts, please don't. I've had to use a 3' breaker bar to untorque a lug that went on way too hard and have had to replace studs that were cross stripped from people using these (and similar) tools.

I would get a 1" impact wrench

It's important the customer know not to service equipment they don't have the tools for 🤣

No Spaceballs references? I'm disappointed.

Auto-mechanic for the last 35+ years here. You should be able to get by with this light duty tool for most drain plugs. I would suggest starting on mode 3 and holding down the trigger at full speed for about 15 seconds to get the manufacturer spec torque requirements. That's what I've always done, never had a problem!

Split the case and replace the 1/2" anvil with a 3/4" one.

Agreed, this is not a torque wrench, but impact wrench.

It doesn't say torque wrench it says high torque, they also have a medium torque.

Op title originally said ""ludicrous" torque wrench" so those statements were clarification before op modified title.

I had an incredibly hard time getting my crank shaft pulley bolt off. I had a jack stand, wrench, and a probably about 4 feet of extension and me (250#) bouncing on the end and it wouldn't budge. Blow torch and penetrant also with no luck. I had the dewalt impact one size smaller than this and it could not get it off. I was going to give up but some people suggested the biggest impact (this one) and I went out and bought it at like 9pm from lowes. It immediately took it off in 5 seconds of impacting.
