Rank #8 in Best Cordless Impact Wrench 2026: 10 Ranked, Torque Claims Checked
VTEK 1/2in Brushless Impact Wrench, 700 Nm, Battery Included
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
VTEK's brushless 1/2-inch impact wrench is the number eight pick in this guide. Its listing leads with 700 Nm and 515 ft-lbs in the title, and the bullets split that into two different figures: 700 Nm (515 ft-lbs) of maximum breakaway torque, the force needed to shift a rusted or over-tightened nut, and 600 Nm (442 ft-lbs) of maximum tightening torque, the force it applies when doing the nut up. The specification table on the same page lists Item Torque as 600 Newton Meters. On VTEK's own numbers, then, the large figure is what the tool can undo, not what it can do up.
At £43.69 it is supplied with a 4.0Ah battery and a charger rather than as a bare tool, which separates it from the three cordless wrenches in this guide that arrive with neither. VTEK also rates it at 3,600 IPM and describes a brushless motor; the specification table gives 3 kg and 31 cm. Everything on this page is taken from the VTEK listing as it appears on Amazon, not from testing we have carried out ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Pleasantly surprised by this item. I did not have high hopes of it being useful in a recent flywheel replacement job.It initially struggled to budge the wheel nuts, which had tightened with time but it managed large bolts on the suspension legs to release the hubs, caliper bolts, subframe bolts and the clutch and flywheel bolts: all are not frequently removed.Overall impressed, great value for money, powerful and quality feel. Battery held up being used for the tough jobs over a weekend.”
Verified purchase“Another tool I couldn't do without,So many on the market but make sure you check the torque you require is correct,This item has earned its keep,what with easily removed the 24 6 studded bolts from my big wheel 4x4,and numerous other jobs on my motorbike,Super strong, fits well in your hands and does the job required,even comes with a handy adapter for drilling etc”
