cordless impacts
12/07/11 at 9:33pm

i just purchased a 24 volt impact...charger...2 ni-cd rechargeable battery...300 ft lb...i purchased this CMT impact on ebay...under $130.00...i believe that this impact is the same impact that we paid like 235 bucks for and lasted for about 5 yrs...and it came with only one battery...i would like to do 2 things here...
1...i would like to here from people that have good and bad issues with impacts that they have purchased...brand name...battery voltage...how many batteries...cost...
2...if your looking for a good impact...look at this one...xtgear is the company that i bought it from...happy holidays...

mudslinger47 LMR God Offline Well crap stuck with the dickweed for four more Posts: 8389	Re: cordless impacts Reply #2 - 12/08/11 at 8:14am I bought one at Harbor Freight, it works fine, problem is the batteries won't last for crap. I went to the track with three bateries and still wouldn't last the night. 19.2 volts. A friend of mine bought one from AutoZone for around a hundred bucks, its lasted fairly well for one yr, but is getting week now. 24 volt . Duane

Don't know the torque rating but it does the job and the batteries are still good.

The mac was around 400 and the battery only lasted a year. It won't hold a charge for long. Longacre came with two batteries one died after 2 years the other lasted for 4 so far.

I went through 2 of these before settling on the 3rd (lots of RMAing from Jegs). Now they have an even newer model that looks a lot like the Longacre one, it might be worth checking out. The problem isn't the gun, it's the batteries. They simply do not last. The 2 I sent back lasted about a month. The 3rd one lasted a year. I gave it to my uncle for his 4-Banger and it seems to be still working.

I bought the Longacre one this year and it has been a dream. It came with 2 batteries and some sockets. It holds a charge for a long time and has plenty of torque.

The Longacre battery fit inside the Jegs gun and works well, problem is the battery doesn't click and stay.
