    1/2 Inch Compact / Stubby Impact Wrench Recommendations

    Well after seeing this Torque Test Channel I no longer trust manufactures specs lol. I also subscribed, I like the work they do. I'm think I'm going for the Astro 1822 because it is the smallest thing I've ever seen and it did well on that Torque Test Channel. Thank you all for your responses!

    1/2 Inch Compact / Stubby Impact Wrench Recommendations

    Hi, so I just bought a 6.5CFM @ 90 PSI air compressor and I need to pair it with a decent impact wrench. I will most likely get a larger impact wrench if I encounter bolts one of these cannot break free... but I feel one of these should do the job nicely. Ingersoll Rand 35MAX - Nut Busting...

    TheToolWarehouse.net 10% off code

    I don't know if that WELCOME (10% off) code is good forever, if it is then everyone that's been to thetoolwarehouse before probably has it. If you can't use it after your first order then I also have INCART (10% off) as another code. Sadly they don't combine.

    :P I gotta get that impact, I'm gonna just go all out this time I guess. I'm going for the nicer impact gun that's like $250. I already have the caliper compressor, forgot to list it as things I have. I might just get that 2 dollar caliper brush pack from HF, I doubt it would last more then...

    Nothing there for me yet. Unless my ratchets ****, then there's a good chance I'll pick up something recommended there. :P I saved the PDF for future reference. Thanks!

    They don't stay shiny for to long lol. I do try to clean them after I use them. Just not good, quick wipe is all they get. I'm only going for the chrome because it's cheaper then the black impact sockets. I should eventually use all these tools, I'll even find an excuse to break out the 4mm...

    I thought I read somewhere the chrome were thinner, maybe it was bad information. :P I'll try to measure it and see when I get the impact set. Thanks Kracin and Haveblue!! :) I'm guessing no one hates my updated list... I know it might not be what some of you would pick, but at least you...

    I have checked out the classifieds here and it would be a good place to get a ratchet wrench. If my ratchets fail I probably will swing by here first. High hopes they work out well though! lol that sounds like a 100 dollar ratchet! Top of the line snap on :P yikes. A ratchet might be...

    Lol I was afride to ask what the purpose of a 12pt socket was, figured all they were good for was stripping tight bolts. That will be something I'd buy as needed in the future, but there's always a place for the craftsmen kit. I'll probably store it in my trunk. Ahh maybe I'll buy the...

    HF 44" roller

    All the coupon codes I tried don't seem to work on that item. "The item is excluded from certain coupon offers. Please check the coupon for details." If you have a store near you, the best I see is to print out that 20% off coupon and bring it in...

    Ha, I never even thought about doing that with a scissor jack. Ahh if it can't break those bolts I can't get to with the impact gun it might not be worth it for me. Although I see the plus in it tightening all the bolts I end up taking off. That might be something I get when I get an air...

    I don't know where you people get your information from... If you type in "Is gearwrench good" or "Is gearwrench bad" into google, the first 10 pages for both say good things about the brand. 20 different websites of people, including this one!! (Maybe some duplicate in the search? So 20 or...

    I'll spend a bit more time researching those HF impact guns, I just remember reading a few neg reviews and watching a youtube video about it. I didn't wanna take the chance and end up buying another one a month later. It did get it off eventually, but it struggled to much :P Ima debate with...

    Ah finally! Someone agrees with me about the impact wrench! :D Just about everyone frowned at me for those sockets, and they could be right. They convinced me not to take the gamble on the cheapest set I could find. Call me Jewish if you want, but the 1/4 set ends where the 1/2 set starts...

    Does Taiwan count as China? :P I really do think I'm going for the Sunex metric set, I like how they don't skip over random sockets like most of the other sets do. I have my core 9mm-24mm with a few random big ones. They're not cheap either (not Snap On or Williams price though) I did finally...

    Simply put... I want one. :P And now someone has me scared that the 425ft lbs won't be enough. You all seem to say I need 1/4 or 3/8, so I mid as well search for some. I'll just up my budget a bit :P And the extensions/universal joints are already on my list of things to buy. Curious, if...

    Ouch... What did I ever do to you? lol this is the second post you assumed wrong, stopit. Never said it would make me a better mechanic, all I've ever said was it makes life easier. Dirty troll :P Side note, don't hate me because I don't want to spend 300 bucks on a 15 or so piece socket...

    I really would have thought 425 ft lbs could get off any bolt. I'm a bit nervous with battery powered wrenches, I don't know how long that battery will be good. They usually die in a year or two and aren't to cheap to replace. Butttt after a while of searching I found one with 620 ft lbs of...

    :P I don't think that air compressors .6 CFM will turn an impact gun. Okay you win, I don't need the impact gun I just want it. It makes life just that much easier on those hot summer days. It's something I want enough and should last me many years. I don't think $300 or so a year is a...
