NEW Harbor Freight Earthquake Compact 1/2” impact unboxing and initial thoughts

[@javier3539]

I had the Matco stubby myself had to send it in 3 times for repairs, I sold it once I got it back.

[@Enrightauto]

Yea looks like that’s what I’ll be doing as well. Disappointing

[@That05LGT]

Been thinking about getting this model. How’s it holding up?!

[@ryanthomas9685]

It’s a weird size for me. Something that length isn’t that much easier to fit in tight spaces, and a more affordable smaller tool like the Astro Pneumatic Nano series already exists, for a better or even lower price point

[@Enrightauto]

True. I’m not sure what the torque rating is on the nano. Ideally I just want to know if it holds up. Because what I paid for my Matco one and now needing repaired a 3rd time if it holds up better than that it has a place.

Astro stuff is the go

Harbor Freight has one that looks just like yours you got the wrong model to compare it to

[@Enrightauto]

What are you talking about? That is from harbor freight?

[@terrellscaife2411]

So how much does that cost?

[@Enrightauto]

$149.99

I hope it has decent power just recently I try to remove some Suspension bolts on a 2012 Volkswagen Passat with a stubby impact wrench that’s rated for 500 foot pounds couldn’t even budge them but my KOBALT 750MAX blasted those bolts out quite easily

Over rating and it is not cheap.
