Awesome feature and one I would definitely use. Thank you! Obiean impact (different major brand) several months ago, what amazed me was that it has a switch for hand tightening. Zap the bolt on without worry, and then go to the torq
My Dewalt has adjustable torq too.. just dont trust the fast on/off capable tools. I want to feel my way thru it for preventive maint purposes.I bought an impact (different major brand) several months ago, what amazed me was that it has a switch for hand tightening.

I agree, I usually put the lug nut on manually, and only use the impact for taking them off. I have replaced several studs on my trailer when other people (dealer) have apparently used an impact to put the lug nuts on. I tried the "hand tight" setting on mine, and it puts it just slightly more than hand tight (only used it once), I can live with that.My Dewalt has adjustable torq too.. just dont trust the fast on/off capable tools.

Just curious, don't these impacts have a variable speed trigger? Mine does, and I see no need for a "hand tight" setting.I agree, I usually put the lug nut on manually, and only use the impact for taking them off.

They do, just nice to pull the trigger and know that it isn't that tight. Gimmick?, sure but a nice one. It also has several torque settings on it.Just curious, don't these impacts have a variable speed trigger? Mine does, and I see no need for a "hand tight" setting.
Thank you, I was wondering. It just seemed odd that the trigger would be just an ON/OFF switch.They do, just nice to pull the trigger and know that it isn't that tight. Gimmick?, sure but a nice one. It also has several torque settings on it.
