In this video we look at the Hyper Tough 12V Compact Impact Wrench from Walmart. At a kit price of $59 it is a super handy tool to have. I have seen many videos show these as sub-par and maybe way short of the M12 line, but I have not seen that with mine. In fact it is the opposite, I have been very surprised by the performance for price with mine. A friend at work Patrick and his neighbor Joe had used theirs and worked on some automotive projects with them and kept telling me how great they found theirs to be. Patrick gave me his ratchet and impact to test with and after some testing I also bought my own to make sure theirs were not anomalies. Mine seemed strong as well so I decided to go ahead a record some footage of it. I did take time to modify some packs just for fun and see if I could push the Hyper Tough to keep up with the M12. I did not prepare as much as I normally would have for this video as I was not expecting these compacts to have this much torque. I hope you find the video helpful and thanks so much for watching
