It’s expensive impact driver, not impact wrench. the impact drivers out out a real world 85 lb/ft and are awesome for driving screws and lag bolts.

Legend Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I have one of the older dewalts with the 18v xrp or xrs battery or some shit. I use it to tighten lugnuts on all my vehicles including my 2500. Gets them plenty tight. I rarely use air compressor anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I think the battery is running down or the gun isnt rattling like normal I check it with a ratchet. But Im not one to use a torque wrench or bars for every little thing. Im sure you know as well that you develop a pretty good feel for how tight stuff is. Engines, sure torque wrench at least on head or cylinder bolts anyway.

Yeah I suppose if I used a high torque impact that I couldnt adjust I would probably use bars as well so I didnt over tighten the shit out of them.

n2oiroc Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 those torque bars arent accurate at all. i snug lug nuts up with the impact on low then finish them with a torque wrench. typically 1/4 turn is all they need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
