Editorial Reviews:

Milwaukee 1/2in. Impact Wrench delivers 325 ft.-lbs. of maximum torque, the most of any cordless impact wrench, and is powered by the revolutionary 28 Volt Lithium-Ion battery pack, exclusively from Milwaukee. This high-torque impact wrench is designed for heavy-duty use, whether driving large lag screws, anchors and bolts, drilling large holes, or removing lug nuts. Plus, the powerful Milwaukee 28V motor makes breaking loose stuck nuts a breeze. The V28 battery pack weighs less than an 18V pack yet delivers two times the run time. The V28 battery will never develop a memory and can be charged at any time regardless of the packs current charge level. Cordless: Yes, Max. Torque (ft.-lbs.): 325, Impacts Per Minute (IPM): 2,450, Drive (in.): 1/2, Speed - No Load (RPM): 1,450, Volts: 28, Battery Included: Yes, (2) 28V Lithium-Ion batteries, Charger Included: Yes, 1-hr. charger, Case Included: Yes, Tool Length (in.): 12 1/8, Tool Weight (lbs.): 8.9


User Comments about the Milwaukee 0779-22 V28 28-Volt Lithium Ion 1/2-Inch Cordless Impact Wrench

The first time I used it - and the nut didn't break free in 3 seconds - my heart sank. It is about all the power I need. Another impressive fact is that I can remove 20 lugs on a vehicle and still have all four red power indicator lights burning on the battery. And fighting hoses can be like wrestling an anaconda.


Never again. Perhaps condensation had accumulated inside the tank for years and rusted the walls. After 8 months of use and a dozen blade changes, my worries have vanished. Every year I hear about a compressor exploding and causing injury or death.


I placed my trust in Milwaukee's reputation. And it hasn't bitten me either because it does the job - and for me - that makes it worth the price. Then it lifted. So far, my 28V impact wrench has not exploded, tripped or choked me. One hand is all that is needed. A lot of money would be wasted if it didn't perform as advertised. Compressor tanks do need to be drained. Laying on my back under a raised cutting deck and pushing a 15-inch box-end wrench with a pipe extension with both feet and while pulling another such setup with both hands above the deck left me with an aching back for a month, but the 12-inch blade bolt and nut did come loose.


I was skeptical about buying this tool. It takes about 15 seconds to break the nuts loose. I was surprised that there is no reverse torque. When a negative reviewer has only one review to his credit - and that review is negative - that tells me that the reviewer is 100% negative and I disqualify his input from my decision making.


Granted, there are impact wrenches made for 18-wheelers and tanks that are rated in the thousands of foot-pounds of torque, but this 28V Milwaukee slid under the wire for me. When my 100psi impact wrench began failing to break free 15/16ths-inch cutting-blade nuts on a 1500-pound commercial mower, I knew more power was needed. I was expecting this wrench to kick like a mule after reading the break-dancing comment. No problems.


I've removed lugs from trucks and cars and tractors.


Well not this tool. It just sits there hammering away and won't loosten them. But I would never recommend this tool to anyone. I tried to remove lug nuts on a car. It's a pretty big tool, but big doesn't mean powerful.


What. GREAT, I thought. and it can't spin them off. I have most of the v28 line and love them. Too Bad. So I take it back to an authorized dealer, since I think It's defective. The torque rating is way overstated, If you want to use this on smaller bolts, maybe it would be a wise choice. These are hand tightened torqued lug nuts at 120 Ft-lbs.


This tool is a dog. They gave me a new tool. Be warned, it doesn't have the power it's stated to have. The new tool did take off some lug nuts, sometimes.


It was rated at over 200 ft.lbs. I have been using Milwaukee tools for 35 years and have very seldom been disappointed in one. I still need to use a breaker bar and loosen the initial torque manually. I just bought this tool to use as a road service assist tool in my race car trailer. of torque which should have been more than adequate to remove lug nuts that were torqued on at 95 ft.lbs. This will still be a useful tool, I just wish the power would have been rated accurately. Alas, the impact wrench just hammers away without breaking loose the lug nuts.



It has performed above expectations. For quick jobs it is easier than dragging hoses and a air impact gun. It is a substantial tool but the weight packing it to the job is more than made up by the effort it saves at the job site. I've had this tool for about 18 months ago. On one battery it will remove 8 1/2 wheel lug bolts 4 5/8 gear box bolts and replace all on a center pivot sprinkler tower. It won't replace a good 1/2 drive air impact gun but it is a great addition to any tool box Some of the towers we have worked on have been running in water for over 15 years without a bolt being turned(it would be the equivalent of changing four tires on a 3/4 ton pickup).



Bought this impact wrench a few days ago and all I can say is its very well made , but its a little too big and bulky to be used in confind spaces but its great for lug nuts and old rusty bolts that you can get to. long lasting and quick recharge time, and Its hard to beat the 5 yr warrenty. The batteries on these units are by far thebest I have seen.
