You might want one of these (cordless impact) now that they're on sale.

I saw one (or two) of these in almost every grid position at nationals whether I was running or working (grid), and they are on sale now. Just a heads up, I've had one for a year, and my dad has had his for two and they work great.

70 bucks for a cordless impact of those specs is an absolute steal. Probably would make more sense to buy one of those every year than one expensive one and have it break in 3 years.

This wrench has been discussed in the past. Very reliable and good power. Only drawback is the archaic NiCd battery.
It's one of those HF items that makes Makita and DeWalt executives wake up screaming in the night. :D

Yea NiCd's are crap. Damn memory issues and stuff. I wonder if they offer upgrade battery packs that are NiMh or L-ion. But, bottom line is if it pulls my lugs off even with the battery well worn (and I bet it probably does since you all are using them for multiple years) then that's all that matters.

Someone on our local autocross list mentioned that isn't the same one that most people have already. That one is still $150. The one for $70 has identical specs though, it just looks a little different...
I love my Milwaukee one but it was $300.

Using an impact wrench on lugs other than to take them off is not the brightest idea. It is important for the life of your brakes and other various bits to make sure you torque the wheel lugs properly.

Just got off the phone with Harbor Freight. These things are backordered until the 14th (or was it 15th?) so it'll be a while before we get them. :(
I was calling to inquire about paying for expedited shipping because their website has no way of doing it. When I heard it was backordered I decided to just save my money because if I already have to wait a while I can just wait a while longer.

Huh? Yes, it's important that you torque your lugnuts with a torque wrench - it would suck for the wheel to fall off. How does it affect your brakes? And what's wrong with using a gun to put it on? As long as you get the nut threaded before you put the gun on it, use the star pattern, and you torque it, what's the harm? Everyone in rally does it, and we never have any problems.
I'd still wait for the snap-on version to be afforable... We have 3 of the 18v versions in the service truck and they keep on kicking through their second season of rough use.

Don't use them to tighten the lugs. Or if you do, do it at a very slow speed until it is just snug and then use a torque wrench to finish the job. Also, start threading the lug on first. Don't just stick it in the socket.
To give you an idea, a comparable Sears impact wrench is $329.99 and a Snap-On one is in the $400 range. Even if the quality sucks or it breaks, I'm willing to risk it at $70 Awesome find!

You guys are being little girls about using impact guns on lugs. It's perfectly fine as long as you aren't an idiot about it. Snakebot's lugs got screwed up by the person, not by the gun... When we put the wheels on the rally car (keep in mind we take the tires off at least 6 to 8 times a rally) we use the Snap-on 18v gun, and we let it "bang" 2 or 3 times when it goes on. Then we put the Snap-on electronic torque wrench on it and it never reads above 100ftlbs. We even made it a rule with our mechanics that you must let it bang 2 or 3 times, because one guy was afraid of over-torquing and kept under tightening it.
psg - the snap-on ones are so good we don't even bother with the air impact guns when we are working in the shop. We keep the air on for other tools like the grinders, but we use the snap-on impacts for all the stuff on the car. Granted, this is a car that is fully torn down at least once a year, so nothing is corroded or rusted in place, but every bolt is torqued properly so you do need the gun.
Bottom line - electric impacts are just fine for putting lugs on if you are smart about it. As for this one, you get what you pay for...

| cowapult | 11-02-2005 10:09 AM |
Ditto. I've tightened lugnuts using my cordless impact wrench hundreds of times. Even as a novice who had never used one of these tools before, there was not a single time that they were overtorqued. It is so easy to spin them down flush without putting hardly a foot pound of tension in them. Then you just follow up with a torque wrench. The only possible way that it can go wrong is if you deliberatedly machine gun those nuts for a few seconds after they have landed. Then again, you can also drive your car straight into a brick wall....
I might try those torque extensions that other guy posted. That would shave another few minutes off the setup and breakdown time.

I'm sticking by my recent (within the last month) purchase of the Milwaukee 18V one instead (with its two batteries and 5 year warranty, although priced at $300 (though, it was on sale for less when I bought it)). I had the 24V Chicago Electric (i.e. Harbor Freight) one previously, but it recently expired on me with a puff of smoke from the motor. (FWIW, it was one of the centrifugal style like the 12V cigarette lighter wrenches are, though, not steady impact like the 19.2V Chicago Electric or the 18V Milwaukee.)
One thing I found very interesting, is that the Milwaukee weighs about as much WITHOUT battery than the 24V Chicago Electric one weighs WITH the battery. The motor on this thing is freaking huge compared to the wussy little motor in the 24V Chicago Electric impact.

That eases my mind about driving around this week w/ a lug nut missing.
I didn't thread the nut on far enough last weekend and it cross threaded when I hit it with the impact gun.
Luckily it was an air impact, so I turned the pressure up to 11 and spun it until it basically melted the wheelstud and came off.

on a 5 lug setup 3 lugs is sufficient for holding a wheel on. I personally like having 5 lugs for safe feeling reasons.

That's what we do on the rally cars. I think it's a little higher than spec, but the driver had researched it and decided on 85.
That's what we do on the rally cars. I think it's a little higher than spec, but the driver had researched it and decided on 85.

[QUOTE=cowapult]Well... there is a real "disease" that happens to rotors... Are you just saying that technically it is not caused by the rotor being actually bent? You're pointing out that usually it is actually caused by a material problems due to pad deposits?[/QUOTE]
It has nothing to do with warping, bending etc etc. Its due to uneven pad deposits which has NOTHING to do with warping. Warping is a myth.

Not that I'm condoning uneven torquing of lug bolts, as its a safety issue, but it has nothing to do with warping your rotors.

As far as wheel torque, we have a 90ft lb torque stick that we use with the snap on cordless impact. Works like a charm.

Tom, I posted a question other must have missed it.
Does your impact have to make a specified torque for the torque stick to work correctly? Or does it just need to make more torque that the stick is ratred?

Subarus spec if my memory serves me correctly is 80-85ft/lbs. Stick to 80 if you want to be safe.
On my sunfire it's 100 ft/lbs as are most GM's
