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

I needed a really powerful impact to take some nuts loose on the suspension of my truck. I actually tried 3 other brands of impacts before this one. Holy crap!! This thing's a monster! Hold it tight to save your wrist! This is the strongest 1/2" impact I've used yet. After buying this, I ran across a website comparing a number of big name impacts, most with higher price tags than the Thor G2. The Thor G2 outperformed all but one very famous brand, with which it tied. The tests were all conducted with a calibrated torque meter. I'm sold. I'm looking forward to using this long term.

It’s got power. The 3 power adjustments are a nice touch and convenient for jobs that require more or less torque. I’d buy it again and highly recommend it.

Great gun although I have been using it mostly for tires. A goon gun the only issue I had was the selector switch where I had to loosen the bolt to switch from forward to reverse.

This thing is a beast and the price is good.

Seems well made and I haven't found a bolt it won't loosen. I have a small compressor so I'm not getting the full oomph out of it, but still does well. Use it for automotive mostly.

Lasted a year and 6 month, let me say first I love Astro Tools, have had great success with there other tools and will continue to buy Astro tools. That being said this is by far the WORST impact wrench i have ever used, incredibly under powered, the forward to revers switch got so it couldn't be moved by hand after 6 months, i disassembled the gun found no issues with the internal workings, put a little grease on the switch internals but it never got better. spent the nest year having to hit it with a hammer to change direction. the trigger is not variable you either get off or full speed. the speed gauge at the bottom of the handle is nice but could use some work, it can easily be move is something brushes up against it. its a good price and probably would be good if your not using it every day, nut if your a tech look for something else, your going to get what you paid for with this impact

I have owned several of these impacts. I run an auto repair facility and have ran 4 of these through the business. All have faced the same fate. The trigger and the directional mechanism all fail. Changing directions is a chore that usually involves having to tap and basically force the mechanism to change direction. The triggers jam and overall work hard. The latest Thor was this G2 which I had hoped would have the bugs worked out. Not the case however, as this one is also failing within a year. When the guns work they do have good power and can keep up in a shop. The price is great, but in this case it looks like you get what you pay for. Ill be switching back to the trusted Ingresoll Rand

Gun is just ok. I have been using this for a few months and did not like it. The trigger is just awful. Feels fragile, sticks and almost hurts your finger. The power is all the time. It's very hard to ease the trigger to start lug nuts. At full power on lugnut, it's hard to hold on as it jumps all over the place. I'm sorry, but I regret buying this. 👎🏻 Always get what you pay for!
