Notes

A cordless impact wrench is a heavy-load tool where the hammer/anvil and electronics take the most abuse. Repair makes sense for external issues like switches, housings, or battery contact damage, especially on newer units.

Replace is often smarter when the hammer mechanism is slipping, the anvil is worn, or the motor/controller has intermittent power loss, because internal rebuilds can be costly and reliability may remain questionable after major internal wear.
