The Einhell Professional Cordless Impact Wrench is the second tool in this guide and the cheapest way into the 18 V Power X-Change family here at £74.99 — though that price buys the tool only, with no battery or charger in the box. Einhell rates it at 215 Nm, spins it to 2,900 RPM, fits a brushless motor and an LED lamp, and puts the whole thing at 1.1 kg and 16.1 x 8.4 x 20 cm, so it is a compact unit rather than a full-size workshop gun. Of the 100 ratings shown in the histogram, 73 are five-star and 14 four-star, with 5,185 ratings behind the 4.5 score.

The number to look at is the one the listing repeats: 215 Nm appears twice, once as "Maximum Torque" and once as "Torque". One reviewer who double-checked with a calibrated wrench says it is "not quite the torque it advertised", and that it does not quite reach the 150 ft-lb he wants for wheel nuts against the advertised "158/215Nm" — the same figure written in imperial and metric. That is a buyer's own measurement, not ours, but it is the same pattern this guide found across the category: the number on the box describes what the tool can break loose, not what it will hold. Two other fields read oddly for a cordless tool — "Amperage: 18 Amps" and a drill type of "Impact Driver" on a product named Impact Wrench. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from testing by us.

## Questions people ask

**Does the Einhell impact wrench come with a battery?**

No. The listing names it "Without Battery" and gives "Impact Wrench" as the only included component, although it is a member of the Power X-Change family, so it runs on 18 V PXC batteries you supply yourself.

**What torque does the Einhell list for this wrench?**

215 Nm, printed twice in the specification table — once as "Maximum Torque" and once as "Torque".

**Is the motor brushless?**

Yes. Einhell lists a brushless motor, described as more power and prolonged operation, alongside a maximum rotational speed of 2,900 RPM.

**Is it really only 1.1 kg?**

That is the item weight in the specification table, and a bullet describes it as small and light for comfortable operation. It is the bare tool — the battery and charger at that weight are not part of the £74.99.

**What do owners say about the 215 Nm figure?**

One reviewer says he double-checked with a calibrated wrench and it was "not quite the torque it advertised", falling short of the 150 ft-lb he wants on wheel lugs. The ratings overall are strong: 73 of the 100 in the histogram are five-star.

**Is it an impact wrench or an impact driver?**

The product name says impact wrench; the "Drill Type" field in the same listing says "Impact Driver". The item highlight describes an external square drive with a bit adapter.
