So when I went to use it - he sad to put the battery completely in and then pull it up a bit until you see the light on. My dad has one of these and I did not know there was a trick to the charger.

But now its given me problems I thought it was the battery not fully ccharging anymore but after I read these comments it just might be the charger. I really liked the preformance up till now. I guess I will go out and by another one, the price was right and its been really handy getting those flat tires changed in a few minutes with out having to use to much physical emergy.

I went to my local Pep Boys and bought myself one and have been quite pleased with its performance. However, I, too, have a problem with the charger. I quit working after only a couple of charges of the battery. My cousin had similar problems with his charger, too. I am like derryl. I need to know where I can get a new charger. My local Pep Boys could do no more than give me an 800 number for Goodyear. After I saw my cousin’s Goodyear Racing 23-volt, cordless impact wrench, I wanted one for myself.

The first time I noticed the phenomenon is when everybody started showing up with those Harbor Freight aluminum jacks. I went racing this past weekend, and now that I have one of these Good Year impact guns, I started noticing how many other races have them: LOTS. An informal survey found that everybody I asked likes it and hasn't had any trouble with it. You could tell the folks who paid hundreds more for their Milwaukee or Dewalt impact guns; they would frown when I asked them about the Good Year... ;) Oh, and I never found the spare batteries. :( But the battery life is good enough to service two race cars all-weekend with no recharge, so I don't think it's needed.

The only problem I have is not with the tool but with the charger. According to the manual that came with the wrench I could keep the battery in the charger charging until I need to use it. Well my second charger just blew out and I find that I will have to buy a third one, and if this continues my evaluation will have to change becuase they have crappy chargers. Has anyone else had problems with their chargers? I bought the goodyear 24v impact wrench sometime last year, I have to admit it is a great tool, plenty of torque and very dependable, the times

That's Too*l*aremia! ;-) I've found out it only comes with one battery, but extras are only $35, so this impact driver with two batteries is $105 after (not-easy) rebate. Still a smoking deal if it can do even a half-ass job. Hope to pick one up tomorrow and beat the crap out of it over the weekend. Hey! That’s Too*l*aremia! ;-)
