just got one and super happy about it! you're definitely right that it has some heft to it. i just needed it for removing lug nuts and after this video i think im satisfied with it. for the price, you'd be hard pressed to find anything on this level of performance. thanks a lot!
@elijahdixon8106 All I can say is....it's an absolute beast for $99! Thanks for watching, and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Happy New Year!
I have read but have not seen they will use Northern Tool Klutch batteries. Would like to see how it does with the 8ah battry. Would be worth getting one for each car to change a tire.
I just picked one up today and used it to pull off the lug nuts on my F-150, it had zero issues whatsoever. This thing has some serious power behind it, I’m impressed! There’s really nothing else even close in that price range.
I agree! I think this thing is gonna be a game-changer in the budget impact segment. All those no-name brands on Amazon and Ebay are either gonna have to start dropping in price or not sell!
Depending on your needs they have a few new Gen 2 - 1/2 impacts for hyper tough. A 12v, a 20v Compact with 2ah battery and charger for about $60, a 20v mid-torque with 4ah battery and fast charger for about $80, and the high-torque that you have already.
I would LOVE to have each and every one of them to try out! I'm a believer in their tools. Unfortunately, my budget won't allow it right now. Maybe one day! On a side note, look for 2 upcoming episodes where I give the new 6Ah battery a try on the 12v cordless ratchet and 12v 3" cutoff tool!
Im yotally going to get one from what ive seen. Unfortunately, no one is yet to post many reviews on longevity. I always worry that a disposable price equals a disposable tool. And while sure you can buy what five of these six of these to equate to a Milwaukee. As a comparison, I'm just not super keen on tossing so many things in the landfill for no reason. So there's an argument for both value and durability. Thus far, though, these things do look pretty solid. Solid enough to pique my curiosity.
I've had their 12v cordless ratchet for 2 years now, and it has served me very well. That being said, I'm not a professional mechanic, nor do I use it every day. I'm merely a hobbyist mechanic. But when I do use it, it works great, and it has impressed me enough to invest in a few more tools in their lineup.
@@808drummerpercussionist9 i agree, another big thing for me is the hyper tough tools have a good warranty and walmart tends to be pretty good about returns and warranty stuff
It took me a bit to figure that one out, too. It's a built-in safety feature. It keeps the tool from free spinning wide open without a load so that when a bolt/nut/lugnut is loosened, the tool doesn't sling it out of the socket.
I've never worked on a Honda, but if that bolt is anything like the one on my dad's old Toyota Camry, then yep! This impact would have been great when we worked on it! Thanks for watching!
Excellent video. If I'm doing more than 700 lbs, I have a major malfunction on my hands. Picking one up real soon. Thanks.
I hear ya, I was surprised by the torque capability on this thing!

Appreciate the work you put into doing this video. Very educational and real-world example.
I try my best to show you guys how the tools will perform in real-world scenarios!
Great video. You put in lots of effort into your videos love it man. I’ll be getting the mid torque impact.
I like the high torch impact cuts through any bolt like hot metal😂😂😂
Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!
Why go with the mid torque if it’s only $20 more to get the high torque? Genuine question not being sarcastic at all.
@@uria711 Because it’s a little smaller. I can fit it in tighter spots
@ ooohhh that makes sense. Ty
Love my new HT 1/2 impact out did my harbor freight & Ryobi for half the price
thanks you Sir. i like the way you test.
Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!

Best bang for your buck in terms of high torque impacts at the moment.
I'd have to agree! Thanks for watching!
It's maximum breakaway torque is 774 but if you use a DeWalt battery it jumps almost to 900
no it doesnt 😂
@drewdevon2009 i seen the test
@@drewdevon2009yes it does. Torque test channel
@@drewdevon2009 It actually does. We're not talking about paper specs here either.
@@MrTwone79 the breakway torque with the battery it comes with is advertised as 900 by walmart
I’ve also been wanting the 4ah battery
Well, here's a great excuse to go buy one 😄
Works great, got one for $65 in the clearance isle, didn’t look used, I assume someone used it for 1 job and returned it
@@maxgorden499 that's a great deal!

I am looking into this line, most tools now no charger or battery, HT all comes with both
I agree. It's going to be a tough act to follow with the other tool manufacturers!

Thank You.
You're more than welcome! Thanks for watching!
I got mine today. I have a feeling they will be out of stock at every location soon.
They're definitely a bargain for their power output!
These new 20v brushless hypertough tools are making a big ripple in the water, any idea whos making them?
Test Rite Tools is the manufacturer according to several sites around the web.
Thanks for watching!
Just got mine off the clearance aisle for 35! Can’t complain great vid❤
You scored big time!
@@brayangarcia2765 wait a second isnt this a pretty new tool? hope they didnt discontinue it already! wonder why it was on clearance? 🤔
Great video!
Thanks, Buddy!
Does your high torque still free spin in reverse? If I’m just holding the trigger it will stop after a few seconds.
It took me a bit to figure that one out, too. It's a built-in safety feature. It keeps the tool from free spinning wide open without a load so that when a bolt/nut/lugnut is loosened, the tool doesn't sling it out of the socket.
great power, even when being diluted through an adapter. great product for great value.
I'm definitely impressed with it!
I bought one a few min ago. Great video!
Glad you liked the video and congrats on the purchase!
Awesome!
@Lyle-1999 Thanks! And thanks for watching!
I noticed that 4ah battery they sell has USB ports so you can use it like a power bank. All the batteries that come with 20v tools do not have this.
I'll have to check that out!
i was gonna buy the ryobi high torque 1/2 inch impact but with battery and charger it comes to over 200, so im gonna buy this instead right now
@@drewdevon2009 I think you'll be happy with it
Stay away from Ryobi!
@@loveydovey4u why?
@drewdevon2009 my uncle has more problems with that brand. He's too cheap to buy Ridgid
I bought one but it weighs 40 lbs I have week arms , Im 5ft 4. And 120lbs. What do I do?
Use it for curls to build muscle 💪
Give it to me until you get a little stronger! Lol
@@GrouchyGarageTipslol
Go back to school because it’s nowhere close to 40 lbs.
Walmart already knows what they got. Bought this like you said $98 beginning of December. It's now $115
No kidding? Did they really raise the price already? I haven't been back in there since I bought mine.
@TorquePowerVideo i was just in my local Walmart today. Yep $115 even online. New year means new prices
its still $99.88 online
@@eldorripu it varies from store to store.Thats why I said my local Wal-Mart
@@konadayz426 I bought one today for $99
Great video!
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Great for removing Honda harmonic balancer bolt.
I've never worked on a Honda, but if that bolt is anything like the one on my dad's old Toyota Camry, then yep! This impact would have been great when we worked on it! Thanks for watching!
