Default 12 Volt Impact gun Any good?

Harbor Freight has one for $20 with 15% off. Anyone ever had or used one?

Use it once and its paid for, can't replace a good air unit but a cordless is sure easier to roll out than a compressor and hose. The tire shop down the street uses a name brand cordless gun which works fine busting tire lugnuts, lot more spendy than $20, don't know how the performance compares.

I've had good experiences with Harbor Freight, I have expectations that match the price for their products, and they have always greatly exceeded my expectations. I've noticed their products in some heavy industry type applications, they treat them as disposable.

A friend of mine has one in his truck. I'm almost certain he told me it was from Harbour Freight. He swears by that thing. 'Has had a couple of opportunities to use it out in the pucker brush and he's really sold on it. Don
