Still loud, still fast, and still hits hard! The only lug nut it wasn't able to take off was a security lug nut that was wayyy over tightened. It snapped the key right off into the lug nut. That's no fault of the gun though... I use this impact gun EVERYDAY doing about 4 tire rotations a day not including when I use it for suspension work or just taking the wheels off to work on a Car. This gun hasn't let me down once and my coworkers hate that they can't stand by my bay and gossip in the shop because ya know "thunder gun" 🤣
The Thunder gun is close enough to the TiMax in torque power for my needs. It is much heavier but again I'm not holding the gun for any extended amount of time so the weight is a non-issue. It has enough torque to zip a lug nut that is torqued to 110 ft lbs off in less than a second. The lug nut is spinning freely before I realize the trigger has been fully pulled. Putting lug nuts back on using the forward torque setting is a breeze. I was able to dial in the forward torque to put them back on at around 80 ft lbs then use my torque wrench to get them at 110. It has been convenient to be able to go from full power in reverse to half power forward with just a switch of the button. If you need full power in forward it is easy to turn the dial also. I have a 6.5 HP 35 gallon compressor and can remove / install all 4 wheels without the compressor having to kick on to recover. It does kick the compressor on when trying to break a Really stuck bolt. Holding the trigger for several seconds at a time really sucks the air down, at 10cfm @ 90 psi my compressor so far has kept up just fine.
The protective yellow boot is a nice touch and has kept the gun from sliding on my garage floor and getting scratched up when I drag it around. However the nice yellow boot just seems to absorb grease and grim and mine is now mostly black. I tried cleaning it after each use hoping to keep it nice looking but it just didn't happen. It's not a big deal for me but worth mentioning to people hoping to keep a nice bright yellow boot, it will be a hassle.
That Nascar sound is awesome and makes me smile and just pull the trigger to hear it still all the time. It may not be exactly the Nascar sound but I'm not enough of a Nascar fan to be that picky, it sounds awesome. Anyone who hears it comments on how awesome it sounds. That's not much of a reason to buy a tool but anything to make you smile and enjoy working on your cars is a plus.
I had a small air leak as others mentioned which was a disappointment for sure to have an air leak right out of the box. I added a quick release fitting and thought it was the fitting I had added at first. I was able to quickly confirm it was the factory air fitting when I saw air/oil bubbles seeping from the threads. Removing the factory fitting and adding teflon tape only took a second but should not be needed with a flagship tool of such a respected name brand.
Overall great impact gun with a few minor flaws which I feel don't justify the loss of a star, you won't be disappointed provided your compressor can keep up.
Top reviews from other countries
If you’re intending to use this as your only gun, probably not a good idea as it is very loud. To the extent were if I was to try passing this through a dB test tomorrow, which some main dealers like the one I work at insist on, they would tell me I can’t use it. so I personally only use this gun on heavy duty equipment, specifically on the commercial vehicles.
Because of simply how this gun operates, using one single large chamber to compress the air rather than multiple. I have heard people speak of how these will work down quicker than your average air gun. Simply I don’t use mine enough to know whether it does or doesn’t, but it’s probably best to have it as a second gun rather than your first gun.
Despite it being an American design, they are built and constructed in China. This is instantly noticeable on opening up your brand-new air gun, obvious things like stickers not being aligned and complete lack of care for the parcel as when mine arrived. It had multiple scratches and dings on it from how it’s been handled. But for the price I can’t really complain, especially when you’re going to be using this in an automotive environment it’s going to get scratched anyway internally its sound. I have no issues with the quality internally and if your gun does wear down and stop working there is an upgrade kits for this gun that make it even more powerful than factory.
