Cordless Impact Wrench

[inverted]

That explains it schmoo, once I get the lugs all changed I'm going to have to be extra paranoid about shops. Eyemaster, that sounds like a pretty good reason to use an impact instead of a drill. I tried the 14v mastercraft last night, it was able to crack the lug at full charge but it also took a few seconds. Kind of pathetic but zipped right off once it got started.

Toyota wants $7 for a SINGLE lug and doesn't offer a set so I won't be buying them there! I'm not surprised at the stealership price but that's $140+tax for a set of crap lug nuts!!! Yet another reason to install aftermarket rims!

I broke 3 drills. I think it's the impact of suddenly stopping when the lug nut is tight. I opened up 2 of them to find the metal gears inside broken to pieces.

YMMV. I use the #8 position on the clutch of my $19 cordless drill that I bought 4 years ago with zero issues.

I do the same. Though the couple times I've forgotten, I did more damage to my wrist than the drill.

Shawn, you mean for the impact, lugs, or both?

mike at nolimits 613 822 6226 has mcgard in stock..... or can get gorilla lug nuts too...

price is very good.

my cordless went most of the season on 1 charge.. and still works great. maybe eyemaster was unlucky.....

i have air tools at home.... so not ready to buy another cordless impact.

Ordered the big Milwaukee bare tool, one Li-Ion battery and the charger individually today. $279 taxes in. For some reason buying individual components works out to be cheaper than the kit, even if buying 2 batteries. Great success.

I just bought the 1/2" milwakee too. Was fed up of chasing batteries for my 14.4. love the tool. hate the batteries. So the milwakee was a winner for me.

I was assembling my suspension the other day and I tightened the 2 bolts to the clevis. they are rated at 160 ft/lbs. After hitting it with the Milwakee, I attempted to torque them with a hand wrench. I heard the click, but no movement on the bolt. That thing is POWERFULL!

Really happy with the purchase

my princess auto 18v impact has lasted 5 years now, still going strong. In fact, it was charged in the fall, left out in the garage all winter and still has power to crack and tighten 8 wheels without recharging... probably won't recharge it till mid summer either.

I just use a 1/2" ratchet, then torque wrench. I have a wired impact for around the house (13A, its a real beast) but I'm too lazy to get it out just for taking wheel lugs off; I suppose I only have 4 per wheel though.

What do you guys torque wheels to?

[DDragon7]

Torque to what your car manual tells you to. Should be in there somewhere. Sometimes its hard to find, but its in there. Usually in the section that tells you how to replace your tire if you have a flat.

Wow... what a difference with the Milwaukee! Works like a dream and no regrets whatsoever.

Thanks for all the recommendations!

Did you get to try it out on rusted/ high torque bolts like the hub/LCAs?

How many tires can you change on one battery charge?

Thinking bout getting the same tool now

I just picked up the 20v Dewalt drill and impact kit.....Its stunning, so small and compact, and cracked the lugs off my truck in a second, plus I put up all my strapping in the garage 18x26 on one battery. Love it.

If you need lugnuts, I should have them in stock, or could have them in a day or two

Those are pretty cool. But battery powered toys are fun.

Yup I used it to remove a hub nut on the rust-bucket Metro, no problem. As for how many tire changes... I think I might have charged it once all autocross season? Just the tire changes. Lasts a good long while anyway, has an LED indicator so you can check.

By the way my father in law was so impressed he went and bought one the day after he saw mine lol... it was on sale.

Sweeet, just ordered battery and charger from amazon.

Now to wait for Homedepot to bring out a deal on the bare tool

Thanks!

Milwaukee = butter

DeWalt = FREE when I bought another drill at Ottawa Fasteners. Very small, and uses the same battery as the drill. I think it was less than $100 for the two of them. Batteries don't last forever on the DeWalts.
