Today we went to Kendle's Auto Salvage & Sales to test out the new Kobalt right angle impact wrench. This is a 24v cordless tool from the Kobalt power tools line. It is primarily geared towards automotive use but there are probably many fasteners and tight areas that this could be beneficial depending on your application. We used one single 2.0Ah battery during the 90 minutes that my son and I were at the salvage yard. I feel that the tool worked well and mentioned in the video that Kobalt should investigate the gear drive anvil area for improvements as there was some lubrication leakage around the drive anvil. It also seemed a little disproportional and could’ve been slightly longer ( 1/8” ) to accommodate better socket fitment and torque transfer.
This tool was purchased with my own money and I am not sponsored for this content. I purchased this as a bare tool during the promotional get a free 2.0Ah battery. Hopefully you enjoyed today’s video as I feel it was put head to head with real-world testing!
