The Morning Doo

You looking for a big ol whoooopow one comparable to one that hook to a compressor, or one of the smaller ones people been digging these days?
 
I think the smaller one would do most of what I would need it to, but there is some things I'm not sure about....
 
My 18v Ryobi and Tripp's 18v Dewalt will take care of lug nuts, link/spring bolts and all just fine. I use mine instead of air tools most of the time just because of convenience.
 
Im curious how well the 3/8s would do because I'd rather have one thats smaller in size.
 
check the rating on the 1/4 drives. I have one that is rated for 1200ish in/lbs ( so 100 ft/lbs) it struggles to take lug nuts off if someone he-man'd them on.

Do you work on your rigs with the 1/4 drive one? When I worked at the body shop everyone had 1/4 drive cordless impacts but all they were used for was to put body panels on with.

I wouldn't say its great for taking off lugs but if you break them loose it works great to spin them off and back on. It does make decking screws and drywall screws its bitch tho.

Thats for sure on building a deck. I wouldn't use anything else.


bolts that are torqued tighter than 75-80 ft's I would say you would be better off using the larger 1/2" version.
