air power impact wrench

[grumpyvette]

now heres a tool that you don,t generally use all the time but it makes some jobs far faster and easier, at times.
IM not a big fan of air impact guns because I don,t think precision torque setting on lug nuts can be maintained so I generally don,t use them except to loosen obviously over tightened lug nuts or bolts in most cases

heres a couple that work well, according to reviews

many guys run into morons at tire shops that install lug nuts with an impact wrench set on KILL! many guys have difficulty getting them OFF after they set for months and maybe rust.....

this solves that problem instantly, you slide the tool on two lug nuts and step on the crank which almost effortlessly turns the stuck lug nut

the design of the tool dictates the effective torque it can produce not the AIR pressure alone, BUT the more air pressure and air volume you have to work with,the more effective the tool tends to be!
its the QUALITY and tool design that matters most as an example , I purchased a SEARS IMPACT GUN for the shop

it will twist off wheel studs if your not careful. its rated at 1200ft lbs

I had a HF air impact gun I got as a gift its PATHETIC,
it stopped working less than a week after I got it,
maybe under 1-3 hours total use!
