My last impact wrench couldn’t really deal with the lug nuts on our truck, so after a little bit of searching I decided to try the Hitachi WR22SA, a 7.5 amp 3/4 inch electrical impact wrench, which sounded powerful enough to meet my needs. Overall, I was pretty impressed.

The first thing I noticed about my new impact wrench was the weight. This thing was really heavy, over 12 lbs. I took that as a good sign, since I’ve generally found that the heavier the tool, the more durable. The listed 450 lbs of torque is more than enough power, because when I tested the Hitachi it removed lug nuts with so much power that it almost knocked me backwards. My hands didn’t twist at all, which was a nice change from my old impact wrench.

I would recommend this tool to anyone looking for a powerful and durable impact wrench to add to their collection. The Hitachi WR22SA comes with a carrying case, a side handle, and a heat resistant insulated rubber bumper on the front.
