"high torque"

"325 ft.lbs"

That's not high torque amongst impacts these days. That's actually even less than any of the mid torque ones on the market.

This was a fantastic tool about 10 years ago. Now, 325 doesn't even qualify as mid-torque, let alone high.

This has similar specs to the BTW450 I bought 16 years ago. It was mediocre back then, I'd spend a bit more for a lighter mid torque or a real high torque.

I bought the XWT08Z when it was posted in 2021 on SD for $150. Yes, killer deal and it's a beast. However, as a home sorta-work-on-my-own-cars-guy, it's just too much tool (lol). I don't know if this one posted is lighter, but that would help. Can I handle it? sure. But even on the lowest setting, I have to feather it for vehicle lug nuts as it definitely will over torque. It does great on tightening up the carriage bolt nuts and lags on my deck every couple of years, and it will definitely come in handy if I have to pull a crank bolt. In short, the one in the OP could probably handle all that stuff just fine unless you have a specific need for that much torque of the bigger one.
