�
�
Just thought I would pass this along:
Pepboys is having a sale on the goodyear impact gun that people have had success with (much better than the new HF gun). It is an in-store special this friday from 6am-11am. [url]http://pepboys.shoplocal.com/pepboys/default.aspx?action=detail&flashbrowse=y&storeid=2314636&rapid=334335&pagenumber=2&listingid=-2094092765&ref=%2fpepboys%2fdefault.aspx%3faction%3dbrowsepageflash%26storeid%3d2314636%26pagenumber%3d2%26rapid%3d334335%26prvid%3dPepBoys-061123[/url]

good price, but not sure if its good enough to brave the idiots (all my local Pepboys are near malls)

I dont think there is enough space to do that with a standard impact wrench.

Im pretty sure Ive done it, you just need a short socket.
I dont know how many ft/lbs it puts out but I used one to replace 5 wheel studs without an issue.

well its rating 170ft/lb, so ive read. but i thikn someone tested it and it only went up to 140 with no problem but had trouble torquing something thats 150. but really good price!
| nerdydorkus | 11-21-2006 05:49 AM |
sorry for my noobish-ness but i have only used compressor impact guns. my question is if these electric impact guns spin as fast as pneumatic tools? I do a lot of on site work and this would be much easier than carrying a compressor to a site. Is this fast enough to spin strut bolts off without spinning the shaft much?
thanks!
thanks!

I have one of these...its an awesome piece...I don't do struts with it tho...I only change tires with it at auto'X's....final torque would be in the range of 80 ft lbs'...just enough to break the lugs loose and re-torque them and said 80 ft lbs'...so I don't think its strong enough for doing Strut bolts...I have had it for about a year....and its still as strong as the first day I bought it...a Full charge will do about 5 swaps of wheels...so its plenty enough for me and a couple of friends for changing tires...
thanks Matt...might have to pick another one up..;)

And I'm pretty sure that I'm still on the charge that you used to do that and I've swapped wheels at least another time or two since.
The gun has been great for me, and I paid full price ($80, IIRC). No regrets thus far.

too bad it is an in-store special, the nearest pep boys is 183 miles away.

My Goodyear Impact Gun from Pepboys broke the first time I used it. :(
| trhoppe | 11-21-2006 12:25 PM |
I've been using the PISS out of mine. We've used it in the garage, we've used it at the track, we used it as a support gun for the 13hr. Along with tire swaps etc it did a transmission swap on a golf.

It has to be better than the HF version. Mine won't even crack (properly torqued) lugs loose on my car.

Is this at all of them, or just this one?

My local PepBoys has two impact wrenches to choose from. The store is just disorganized as crap.
- only 1 Goodyear 24V cordless Impact Wrench 1/2" square for $79
[IMG]http://akimages.crossmediaservices.com/dyn_li/200.0.88.0/Retailers/pepboys/061112_p1AUSN_20.JPG[/IMG]
- several Goodyear air tool Impact Wrench 1/2" square for $79
- 3 "Kawasaki" (yeah, like the motorcycle) electric Impact Wrench 1/2" square, couldn't find the price anywhere
The kawasaki looks exactly like the the harbor freight ones, except in bright alien green:
[IMG]http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/photos/45200-45299/45252.gif[/IMG]
I got one just like it off Ebay (a chinese knock off) and it broke on fairly quickly so I decided to try the Goodyear this time.

As far as I know, it is in all of the stores. Look at the online circular on the pepboys website, check both sides.

I swapped the suspension on my STi just 3 weeks ago with one.
| ralliharri | 11-26-2006 09:27 PM |
I got one on friday for $60+ (w/ tax) and used it to remove the struts the next day, great, very happy with it, thanks for the heads up.
| MattSTi | 11-27-2006 12:56 AM |
Glad I could help out.
I actually didn't end up buying one of these because I have a hunch that my girlfriend got me one of the craftsman black friday special air compressor/air tool combos. I have a small 14.4v Dewalt impact that has been great so far for almost anything. It is rated at 130ft/lbs so I don't think it would get far with suspension work. It is super-compact and really useful on small to medium-sized stuff. In the future, I may go for the dewalt 18v unit (300 ft/lbs) I've used one at the track a lot and that thing is a beast!, but a bit on the pricey ($250 w/ 2 batteries).
BTW, if anyone is in the market for a nice tool chest/rollaway combo, there is a craftsman ball-bearing 10 drawer setup (6 chest and 4 rollaway) on sale for $299 until Dec. 2nd. It's not readily available on their site, you have to look through their print ads (or the online version of the print ad) to find it.

Anyhoo, definitely some awesome deals on tool storage over the weekend. I ended up with a 16 drawer quiet glide setup for a net cost of $285 after rebate (5 rollaway, 8 chest + free 3 chest, 10% discount on Saturday until noon). Good ol' Sears.

My understanding is that ball-bearing and quiet glide are different. I think that the quiet glide variety uses a standard friction-based drawer extension, while the ball-bearing variety uses ball-bearing drawer extension. I was VERY close to buying the quiet glide combo that you just described but ended up going with the smaller ball-bearing combo after looking at different opinions online. The 10 drawer setup has enough room for all of my current tools with room to expand. I don't have any firsthand experience, but I've heard that ball-bearing is the way to go.

| chimchimm5 | 11-28-2006 04:01 PM |
Pay for what you get. That DeWalt costs like $300. Worth every buck, probably, but I'm still a cheapo and not doing a lot of impact work to warrant spending that much.
I went with the Goodyear. I'll probably pay in the long run.

Ball bearing is the only way to go if you ever want to open the drawers under a full load. My father and I have the exact same Craftsman tool chest, except mine is BB and his is the Quiet Glide. After about a year of use, his drawers are very tough to open when you have it full of heavy tools. Mine on the other hand, are silky. Definatly worth the extra money. I wanted to get the BB with the griplatch, but could not justify it. It would be nice if you lock your tool box every night, since all the drawers have to be closed before the lock engages. With the grip latch you can push them shut and they will stay shut while you lock it.

| MattSTi | 11-28-2006 05:42 PM |
I've heard similar things about the ballbearing unit and since the two combos were priced the same (albeit the quiet glide had 6 more drawers) I decided to go with bb because I don't need the extra storage (yet) and I like the idea of a smooth opening/closing action.

That's a monster, but I wonder why it's not rated higher. I believe it's only rated at 315 ft/lbs, while the 18V gun is rated at 300. It must be battery life??
In my opinion, the only downside to the large dewalt guns is the rocker trigger. It sounds like a good idea but it can be a pain when you are in a tight spot and it's too easy to hit the wrong direction. I really wish they had the conventional trigger with a separate forward/reverse toggle like my 14.4v unit has.
