Astro Tools 1895 ONYX 1/2" "THOR" G2 Impact Wrench

This impact has a lot of power to gun off stubborn lugs and bolts. The only thing this impact struggles on was a promaster 2500 where the stud lugs were seized on. If you need a powerful air impact at a good price this definitely beats most tool truck impacts. Only cons could be is the trigger quailty and the weight. The trigger can be on and off sometimes but keeping it well oiled gets rid of that. if you want something more lightweight and better trigger quailty, and a tad bit more power just get the matco mt3779 but that is a $600 impact so keep that in mind. I used shop air with 1/4 fittings and it gets the job done

I am an auto tech for 15 plus years it is one of the best impacts i have owned. It's a bit stiff when new like the direction button/switch is hard to move over bit after a while it gets better. Has amazing amounts of power even on setting 1 and 2. A little heavy but that was expected feels solid. Very satisfied.

This thing is a beast. Probably overkill for most of what I work with, but wow what a tool. The quality is top notch and the performance is better than anything I have used. On old rusted u-bolt nuts that my other impacts couldn’t even budge, this handily accomplished the task. Thank you to Torque Test Channel for the review, it was correct that this is the best impact on the market. It is an added benefit that is is a great value as well.

Impact is very powerful and quiet but the trigger is very sensitive. Still great to have around for larger repairs but not the best for tires etc..

This is used for work as a mechanic. It had an issue within a few months but was covered under the warranty. Sent it out and it took about 1-2 months to get back. He has other impact guns, so it wasn't a big deal. For the price compared to other brands like Snap On, it works good. It's a little bulky and heavy but the torque is good. But just be aware that the turn around time is awhile.

I had 4 different impact wrenches. None of them would budge removing some difficult nuts. I even made a giant cheater bar for a large breaker bar. That wouldn't break them either. I saw a review on YouTube and bought the G2. It's the freaking BOMB!! It zipped all of them off in seconds. It's money well spent!

I have beat the hell out of this thing using it on 3/4 line to take lugnuts off semi trailers I rarely find anything that this won’t do that my IR 3/4 will the only complaint I have is I don’t like the trigger and the forward reverse selector they feel extremely cheap compared to the rest of the impact. But for the money you can’t beat this impact. It will take a hell of a beating I’ve ran water through it several times due to my shops bad water separation system and I don’t mean just a drop I mean literally blowing water out of the exhaust. I’ve ran this thing next to brand new Matco guns on 3/8s line and it walks them all day. The only other tiny complaint I have is that there is no hole to access the grease zert on the boot you either have to take it off everytime or cut it which is what I did. I love this gun I would buy 5 more in a heart beat

As a diesel mechanic this thing rocks

I’ve been running this wrench for a month now, and like any serious tool, it took a bit of a break-in period—or maybe just time for me to get used to it as my main ugga dugga. It’s got muscle, no doubt about it. I mostly stick with the Level 2 mode for everyday jobs—tyres, subframe bolts, and general ½" socket duties—because Level 3 is downright overkill unless you’re tackling something heavy-duty. That level 3 higher mode is perfect for the stubborn stuff, like seized CV axle nuts or other big challenges. Overall, this gun is a beast. It’ll definitely give your arms a workout by the end of the day, but for what it delivers, I reckon it's absolutely worth it.

Awesome air impact wrench. Extremely powerful, impressive. A must buy.

It took about 2 weeks of heavy use for the selector to work properly but it's the most powerful gun in the shop. If it isn't coming loose it's gonna snap in half. Beware when using at high pressure (160 psi) it actually hurts the hand with how hard it hits

This impact gun is a great bang for your buck if other reviews are true. I just got one and haven't had a chance to use it yet. It's got quite a good amount of heft to it and it has a lot of torque free spinning.

Beastly, don't have heat no problem with this impact
