Retiretgtshit stirrer
Hey Axe,
Oh, I agree with you....
I've got two really good 1/2" drive impacts...
The Red Head gave me a Blue Point, about 25yrs ago...has a solid 450# of Torque in the OFF direction. It has three settings...#2 being "enough" for less than 100# of torque...#3 for the stubborn stuff....LOL
I also have a new I-R that I-R claims has over 900# of OFF! (It will bust impact sockets)...
My old '87 F 350, has the FoMoCo "strip nutz"....gotta wind all 8 of them OFF and ON...a real pain when not at home....LOL
I'm enjoying retirement! 50yrs of workin'....whew!
Later, Mark
I would run lugnuts down using a 3/8" impact wrench, then tighten them to spec with a torque wrench. 3/4 tone and larger, I would run them down with a 1/2" impact then follow up with a torque wrench.
Only time I have had problems with warped rotors, was when someone tried to bang down the lugnuts as tightly as the impact would hammer them. Uncalled for and amateurish.
