Metabo HPT WR18DBDL2Q4M 18V Brushless Lithium-Ion 1/2 in. Cordless Triple Hammer Impact Wrench (Tool Only)

So nice to change lawn mower blades and not have to wait for the compressor and drag around an air hose.

We bought one more than 2 years ago, works great to change car tires, maintain the lawnmower and other stuffs

I have gotten this tool at 50% off and could not pass it buy. It is so powerful. I love the fact that it is IP56 rated. Metabo HPT always comes out with the coolest features. I like the ergonomics they are the best. This baby bust nits all day! Love the protective rubbers also. Very sturdy and solid piece.

I got this on clearance and well would have got it either way. however it doesn't have as much break power as other 1/2 in but it could be designed that way. either way though for what I use it for is perfect.

The Metabo HPT Cordless Impact Wrench has proven to be an incredibly versatile and reliable tool for a variety of tasks, particularly around the home and garage. Over the past two years, I’ve used this impact wrench for everything from car tire rotations to home improvement maintenance, and it continues to deliver solid performance. One standout application has been using it for removing and installing anode rods on water heaters. The 225 ft-lbs of torque is sufficient for most household and garage tasks, including changing lawn mower blades, tightening bolts on DIY projects, and performing general maintenance on cars and appliances. Weighing only 3.3 lbs with the 18V battery, this impact wrench is lightweight, which makes it ideal for working in tight spaces like under mower decks or in the cramped areas around plumbing fixtures. The 4-stage electronic speed switch allows for precise control, and I’ve found it especially useful when I need to adjust the power for different tasks, such as tightening bolts or simply snugging nuts to torque before final tightening. The brushless motor ensures the tool runs efficiently and lasts longer, and the IP56 rating provides a degree of protection against dust and water, which is crucial when working in less-than-ideal conditions, like in damp or dirty garage environments. One of the features that sets it apart from other impact wrenches, such as the Makita XWT18Z, is the hog ring mechanism for socket retention. Unlike a detent pin, which requires more effort to remove or secure a socket, the Metabo HPT hog ring slides in on itself, providing a quicker, more seamless socket change. This design is not only more convenient but also more reliable, ensuring a secure fit that won’t slip or loosen during use. One of the most convenient features is the built-in LED light, which illuminates workspaces, making it perfect for jobs in dimly lit areas like the garage or basement. The battery indicator is a great addition, ensuring I never run out of power unexpectedly when working on home maintenance projects. The metal belt hook also makes it easy to keep the tool within reach. While this model is a great tool for general home use and garage tasks, there are a few areas where Metabo HPT could improve it, especially in comparison to Makita’s XWT18Z. For example, the torque rating of 225 ft-lbs is solid for most tasks, but it falls short when handling heavier-duty jobs like removing stubborn nuts or working with high-torque fasteners. The Makita XWT18Z, with its 330 ft-lbs of torque, would outperform it in these situations. Additionally, while the 4-speed selector is useful, a bit more precision in the speed control could enhance its functionality, especially for tasks that require a finer touch, such as delicate plumbing or furniture assembly. Despite these few drawbacks, the Metabo HPT WR18DBDL2Q4 remains an excellent choice for anyone looking for a powerful, compact impact wrench for home improvement and garage work. Its combination of power, portability, and comfort makes it ideal for a variety of household and garage applications, from anode rod removal to regular car maintenance. With a few minor improvements, particularly in torque output and speed precision, it could become even more competitive with high-end models like the Makita XWT18Z. Nonetheless, it continues to be an indispensable tool in my collection.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the features, ergonomics, and durability of this tool, but it doesn't have the power for me to want it around. It works perfectly well for stuff like lug nuts and non-rusted hardware, but it produces power comparable to a 3/8" impact wrench, which uses much more affordable sockets. Additionally, I have had issues with the trigger being glitchy. Sometimes it will lose signal and the tool will intermittently cut on and off.

I've had this for about a year now. Used it to change lugnuts on my tires to working on my riding lawn mower. I also used it to drive lag fasteners when I built a deck. This thing is way more useful than I thought it would be.

Very pleased with the torque of the impact tool. Would buy again

I bought this last year and worked in the coal mines and wow I couldn't believe how much easier my life was. I broke the lug nuts loose that where on a Bob cat and a Milwaukee 1/2 inch drive impact could not budge

It has been very reliable and has the best control for tightening and loosing bolts as well as lag screws. I routinely use this gun over other 3/8 drive tools because of the control. Not the most powerful but its far more useful to have the control then pure power.

This thing is great. super compact, plenty powerful. a half inch impact wrench that feels like an impact driver! awesome!

It is the best impact wrench in its class! Works amazingly well! It has the power when you need it most. I am so glad I bought this.

Wanted a lighter option to the 36v impacts, plenty of torque for most fasteners, easy and convenient. Not to mention a fraction of the cost compared to the tool truck.

I am a professional carpenter and own many hitachi/ Metabo tools. The impact wrench has proven itself to be reliable. It has a good hand feel, balance, plenty of torque, battery lasts most if not all day.

I've had it for awhile now and have used it in automotive repair. It has performed flawlessly and I would recommend to anyone. Great tool

i initially purchased to aid in a brake job and while its not up to pit crew standards it's definitely better than breaking lugs free with a 4 way. where i've found this tool really shines is driving lags and concrete anchor bolts. it's lightweight and has more than enough beans!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is used daily- great Impact and durability

I picked this up on a whim since it was a clearance item at a big box store. I don’t have a ton of need for one but thought why not. I decided to give it a try on replacing some concrete anchors and couldn’t believe how much breaking power it had for removing rusted nuts. It’s another great tool to add to the collection. I can’t recommend Metabo tools enough!

Got this in April and have used it so much, it is extra heavy and easy to handle, great to get tires off, I only buy these tools now, will never buy another brand since buying this brand, I have about all these tools and will keep buying them as long as I can use them.
