Rank #8 in Best Impact Drivers 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Torque Number Lies
SoarFly 1/2 Inch Cordless Impact Wrench 1200 Nm Kit
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The SoarFly 1,200 Nm brushless cordless impact wrench is the eighth pick in this guide: a half-inch gun sold as a kit with two batteries for £129.99. The listing quotes one torque figure — 1,200 Nm maximum — and no second, lower number for tightening. That matters in a guide where three of the other wrenches print their loosening and tightening torque side by side in the same advert. Here there is only the one number, so nothing in the listing tells you how much of that 1,200 Nm survives once the nut is being done up rather than cracked off.
What the advert does set out is the kit and the controls: two 21V MAX 4.0Ah lithium batteries, a charger, five sockets, a carry case, three speed modes, a variable speed trigger, a reverse auto-stop and an LED work light. It is rated 4.6 out of 5 from 410 reviews, with 80% of its ratings at five stars, and the listing's best sellers rank is 19th in Impact Wrenches. The listed item weight is 5.62 kg, and the reviewers disagree about it — one buyer calls the gun heavy, another calls it light. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing.

Questions people ask
How much torque does the SoarFly impact wrench claim?
The listing states 1,200 Nm as the maximum torque. It does not publish a second, separate figure for tightening, so the advert gives you one number and no way to check how much of it reaches the fastener.
What is included with the SoarFly JLBS-EU-01?
The listing's highlight lists two 21V 4Ah batteries, five sockets, a fast charger and a carry case; the included components field names the batteries, charger and cordless impact wrench. The bullets add three speed modes, a variable speed trigger, a reverse auto-stop and an LED work light.
How heavy is the SoarFly impact wrench?
The listed item weight is 5.62 kg. Buyers disagree in the reviews: one describes the gun as heavy and another as light.
Does it come with batteries?
Yes. Two 21V MAX 4.0Ah lithium batteries are listed, each with overheat, overcharge and short circuit protection plus a charge indicator, so one pack can be charging while the other is in use.
What is the drive size and what is it for?
A half-inch drive, aimed at wheel nuts on cars, vans and light commercial vehicles, and at rusted or overtightened fasteners in suspension, brake and hub work.
What do buyers say it costs and how is it rated?
The listing gives £129.99, a rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 410 reviews, with 80% of the ratings at five stars, and a best sellers rank of 19th in Impact Wrenches.
