PORTER-CABLE Impact Wrench, 450 lbs of Torque, 1/2 Inch Hog Ring, 7.5-Amp, Corded (PCE211)

Excellent product. Major brand item, took off all lug nuts, more torque than any other similar, good price, Heavy duty

I have no idea why I waited until I was 44 years old to make this purchase. You could classify me as an independent woman. I was raised by a father who was a mechanic and a Marine. I followed in his footsteps and spent 20 years in the Corps. He taught me how to use tools to repair and fix things so that I never needed to ask for help. So, you could understand my frustration when I need to change a flat tire on my zero turn mower and despite all my knowledge and determination, I cannot get the nuts off the bolts. I used every trick in the book. WD40, using a hammer on the socket wrench, two hammers on the nut, extending the socket wrench and attempting to use my leg with force... it would not budge. Now my Dad was a strong man so he never owned an impact wrench. Even with being a heavy equipment mechanic, the man just never owned one. I came to the realization that I could never use my lawn mower again or I could order an impact wrench. Asking for help isn’t happening. This tire was NOT going to get the best of me. So... I dropped the money to buy this impact wrench. I have no idea WHY I didn’t purchase one of these in my 20s. My dad also had a saying - work smarter, not harder! It’s absolutely ridiculous how easy this impact wrench is to use. I changed the tire on the mower in 3:41. I timed it. That included using the Jack from Traverse to get it up in the air and lower it. I don’t even want to think of all the times in my life that I could’ve used this impact wrench and been done with my project that much quicker! I did go ahead and buy a deep socket set from Amazon to go with this as the bit at the end of the wrench does not fit my other sockets. I decided to store the impact wrench and sockets in my Traverse where my jack is with an extension cord so that if I ever get a flat tire on the side of the road I can break this bad boy out and look like the pit crew at a NASCAR race. If I ever need it before then I know exactly where it is. Seriously, this was money well spent! If you need an impact wrench, this is going to get the job done.

These lugs were put on my a oil change place. They always over torque them. As you can see. Worked great. There were a couple reviews that made me cautious about buying this one. "This isn't a porter cable of old" Yes it is. This tool is a well made beast.took off two lugs almost instantly with no air needed "Not powerful" yeah once again I've used others that were weak like battery ones that give the rating in foot inches. Lol this one works perfect. "The tool is too heavy". Yeah I kinda feel like that is a good thing. Air tools are light because they have no motor. This has a motor and it is 7.5 horse and strong. I mean. I think it should be heavy and it is. Well made heavy metal case I love not buying Chinese knock off tools. I've learned in the first 50 years of my life cheap Chinese knock offs are horrible. Even if this thing is made in China. It works well. Feels good in the hand and works. I'll add this name to names of tools I'll buy in the future. It wasn't cheap but it wasn't overly expensive either. This is perfect for the shade tree mechanic like me to help me with jobs I don't want to do, but do because my tools make the work a lot easier. Porter Cable to me is quality.

I used this to update my front suspension and steering on my 12 y/o car. Everything was oem and pretty stuck on there, this got bolts off no problem. Real heavy and big so some tight spots are hard to get to. I actually think it may be unreasonably big for the torque values but it's cheap and feels very robust so I'm ok with that. While finishing up a job the other day, the impact stopped working. The motor buzzes but doesnt move at all. Will continue to update if porter cable honors the warranty(I think its 1 year, if not, meh). A factory rebuild is only like 40 bucks through dewalt, so we'll see. Likely going to move to Ridgid(Home depot house brand) cordless impact. the 18v 1 mode from them is about twice the price for better torque and better shape. Takeaway: If you don't do too much work, this will probably last a lifetime. I constantly work on my car and this tool is both cumbersome and fragile it seems. For $70 bucks, it cant be beat.

I just used this to take off all 20 lug nuts on a 2002 Odyssey, I torque it a bit more than 80 foot pounds, probably 90 or 95 ft/ lbs because I put them on a bit tighter than spec torque and this impact wrench took them off in about 2-3 seconds each, it's effortless and there are people who complain about the weight but the weight comes from the motor so the heavier it is the stronger the motor, you want that. It weighs 7.8 lbs and is not quiet but it's not that loud, it will not hurt your ears at all in a garage. The torque on the hands when operating is minimal, it will not shear off your wrists at all. I'm a small guy with medium sized hands who probably can only bench press about 80-90 lbs, and this thing is great. I do not understand when I see reviews on other electric impact wrenches saying oh no, 9 lbs, too heavy, it makes no sense at all. I have included every picture you can think of, this thing is 450 foot/ lbs, I saw somewhere in the description it said 450 inch pounds, that's false, that's a typo. I read the reviews for the weaker version of this that said something like 220 ft/ lbs and it was ok strength, this thing has a beefier front section, it has no problems with 90 foot pound lug nuts. check out the video and pictures I attached,[...] thanks. almost forgot it has a rocker switch, up is reverse ( take off stuff) and the down is forwards. Do not use this to put the lugs nuts back on, you will cross thread them and even if you don't you will destroy the wheel studs because you are over tightening them. use your own ratchet or breaker bar or torque wrench.

Unscrewed stuck water heater anode rod with ease. Have an 11 year old Rheem 65 gal water heater with a stuck anode rod. Couldn’t budge it with a 25” breaker bar along with another 24” extension. The entire water heater (full of water) itself would start to turn, when using the breaker bar. Bought this impact wrench due to its advertised torque. Was not disappointed. After snugging the impact wrench and socket on the anode, it took about 3 seconds and the anode started to turn. Another 5 seconds and the anode was completely unscrewed. Very easy to use and the wrench did not twist in my hand. Also used it to remove lug nuts (100 ft. lbs.)…no problem at all. Happy with purchase.

I used to have a portable impact driver but the batteries had failed and were too expensive to replace. In addition, it didnt have the power I needed for some jobs. We have old cast iron drain pipes in the house and sometimes the access plugs become rusted tight from age. When its time to clean out the pipes with a powered snake, those plugs need to be removed. The one behind the washer was frozen tight and would not budge. Even my 36 inch pipe wrench would not budge it. After reviewing a few of the corded units online, I found the Porter Cable unit to be the answer to my problem. 450lbs of torque should be able to crack anything. When I used the impact driver on the cap, it came off in less than 2 seconds. Impressive! This should also make easy work on my auto projects like taking the wheels off and loosening rusted nuts and bolts.

If you don't have a air compressor. This is a great item to have to change flat tires or rotate your tires at home

Great tool. Was powerful enough for my 6 bolts on our Ram trucks. No issues.

Me gusta trabajar con mis carros a la hora de darles mantenimiento o reparar cualquier falla así que ya tenía tiempo pensando en adquirir una llave eléctrica de estás ya que yo no cuento con compresor de aire para trabajar con herramientas neumáticas. Iba a cambiar la bomba de aceite de mi Focus 2000 y era necesario quitar la polea del cigüeñal así que compre la herramienta para hacer el trabajo y lo hizo de maravilla, no se le dificulta quitar tornillos como este o los de las ruedas. Cualquier tornillo por más apretado que este inclusive de la suspensión, lo quita de inmediato. Les recuerdo que no es una herramienta de uso diario, pero para esos trabajos en los que requieras aflojar un perno, lo hace de maravilla. La recomiendo al 100%. En unos meses actualizaré mi reseña para ver qué tal me sigue funcionando.

It’s heavy but seems to do the job, less hassle than running my air compressor and roll out the hose just to change wheels. Buyer beware! It has zero battery life because it doesn’t run on batteries of any sort unless I missed something here.

Es la llave de impacto eléctrica más potente, funciona muy bien y no hay tornillo que se le resista. Es pesada pero con gran poder de torque. Responde adecuadamente al reto de desatornillar o atornillar. Por eso es importante utilizar dados de impacto. Es una marca de prestigio para los profesionales

Muy buen producto más de dos años de uso y sigue funcionando.
