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

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

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.

This is one sexy, strong hammer.

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 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 like it a lot and I have put it thro hell. Really wish the reverse forward button was better.

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

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
