In my continued quest to not shrink my garage and piss of the neighbors by avoiding air tools, I'm looking into some corded impact tools.
After a little research, it looks like this model (the R6300) hits harder (or at least is rated higher) than any electric impact I've seen. Can anyone share any first-hand experience with this product?
I have the 300ft-lb Dewalt 18V Impact, and I have trouble believing this thing can do more than 125ft-lb in practice. As a matter of fact I've went back to a gorilla breaker bar with my regular drill for lug nut duty at the track. Listening to the Dewalt bang on each lug 5-10seconds just wasn't worth the headache.
So do these corded units hit much harder than an equally rated cordless model (kinda like corded vs cordless dremels), or is 450ft-lb about right? Obviously I have zero use for a true 450ft-lb, but judging by how poorly rated the 18V Dewalt unit is (300=125ish), I'll need a lot more power to *effectively* pop off lugs at home.
