AI Review Summary:
Across retailer reviews, buyers praise the wrench’s compact 6-in. length, strong breakaway power for lug nuts and rusted fasteners, and the smooth trigger with useful 4-mode control. Many like the bright Tri‑LEDs and note battery life is solid with 5.0Ah packs. Common critiques include that the hog ring can be tight when new and that the tool ships without a battery/charger. A few users mention it can struggle with extremely corroded heavy-equipment bolts compared with high‑torque models. Representative quotes: “Small but a beast—took off truck lugs easily,” “Mode 4 bolt-removal is a game changer,” and “Hog ring is stiff at first but loosens up.”
