I’d believe it when there’s an unedited video of the nuts being torqued to factory specs with a name branded torque wrench THEN remove them with the tool.

The OP is writing that he is using the wrench to do all sorts of stuff. Unless he is selling the roadside one, his claims support the video.

Do you have a link for the tool?

Link to the tool is in the vieo summary on YT.

It is interesting how the torque seems to work-like its ramping itself up over a second or two and then applies it (flywheel?) The cheap look isn't particulary inspiring however.

That video is torturous valium.

It's a strange tool - clearly works well enough. I could maybe see it for my wife or something, but...

Looks like this maybe? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07543RHGH/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Admittedly, I didn't know 12v cigarette lighter powered impacts were a thing, but if it can zip off lugnuts, its a good buy, (though im a bit skeptical). I could definitely see it being useful especially to people with back or arm issues, or just smaller people who might have trouble getting lugnuts off and don't want to have to rely on calling for help on the side of the road to change a flat.

I have a video of the ingersoll with 4 million views
and not once did anyone claim the video was edited and ask to torque nuts to factory spec and loosen them...so they could believe it. Just going to have to believe it :)

you guys realize that all these amazon links from hotpaws/singlecams/ytsing1-20's videos are affiliate links, right?

in my view, that makes him more a salesman than one of our GJ peers. just saying.
am i saying he's lying about the tools? nah, idk. but it makes me scrutinize and question motivation.

also, to make matters worse, i do not see any admission on his part that he's an affiliate. this is in violation of amazon's own policy (see sec 5):

https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/help/operating/agreement

edit: even though i just said all of that, your videos seem nice. gj

no, you did not, but you linked to your ads (i.e. your videos) which contain the affiliate links.

is there an admission of being an afilliate on youtube where the links (i.e. Program Content in the affiliate agreement) exist? i do not see one. for further transparency, it would have been nice to see an admission here as well imo.

again, this is disingenuous, and it's a violation of amazon's policy.
i won't do it, but someone could easily report you: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/home/contact

i've seen many affiliate accounts terminated for this.

There is zero chance those videos are real life deals, unless you have worked on Honda crank bolts as a lot of people have you would know the deal is not real.

Pulling off a crankbolt with a heavy socket is a not real? The video is not even edited.

That is like saying the exact same video I made with the milwaukee 2767 doing the same ...is not real.


How do you explain this? Different impact same socket, same results.

singlecams, ive have always enjoyed your videos. Straight to the point and real life settings out in the field. I particularly like the unspoken videos. Keep posting and ignore the naysayers! You have some veterans on here that dont question your authenticity.
:beer:

P.S. That M18 mod for this impact wrench looks skookum....:thumbup:

Lol. Just because you couldn't get a bolt out doesn't mean someone with the proper tools "faked" it.

Not bashing the OP but it’s foolish for you to dismiss even the harshest skeptic. Do you actually think that telling me that millions of others hadn’t questioned your authenticity would get me to be a believer? I can seriously claim that I have never received a single complaint from millions of travelers about my flying skills in landing a 737 harder than an elevator coming to a stop. Ever.

Here’s what I would have done, do a continuous video that shows the lug nuts torqued to factory specs then use the tool. If you want bonus points, take apart the tool & explain how the gizmo works the way it does and how it’s different. That, would get my attention.

My mate had one of those tools about 6 years ago. Not the same brand but worked the same. He brought it to my car workshop and I tried it on very tight wheel nuts. I was very impressed with how much power it could put out. The only problem with it is it is slow. I had my air powered impact which of course is much faster.
I am still not entirely sure it would do a Honda crank bolt though.

This might be a better option for my wife than the 1/2" Fuel Milwaukee I bought her. I sure do feel bad when she gives me those puppy dog eyes as she's outside changing the tire on my car when we get a flat. I can clearly see her struggling with the weight of the Fuel. Poor girl. This looks like it may be some relief to her. Definitely going to check it out!

Here in New England where roads are salted in winter and we have all 4 seasons, it is a real test of an impact will remove lugs that are not freshly torqued. A fresh torque breaks the rust and corrosion and makes the lugs easier to remove.

I am not one of those here that is suggesting the test was faked with lugs that were first loosened and then re-torqued to a low spec. I suppose it is possible, but I won’t conclude that someone is a fraud without having evidence and we don’t have any such evidence.

The problem is we live in a world filled with click bait. When someone throws something like this out there (on a tool forum no less), it’s assumed the purpose was to draw attention. The lack of detail usually supports that as well. People producing content with a clear purpose of showing you what a tool can do will tell you “this crankbolt has been installed at the factory and seen 100k road miles”. With no such statements, I assume there is no credibility to the video.

I get that some people choose to believe until proven otherwise, but I don’t. Don’t get me started on Santa Claus and the tooth fairy!

Clearly the only solution here is for someone else to buy it (not from the affiliate link) and test it on their Honda crank bolt. I don’t have a Honda so... not it.

I that that tool is pretty cool though. I think a cool project would be to modify one to use lithium primary batteries so you could leave it in the trunk for 15 years and pull it out and have it work fine without draining your car battery.

I can see how that thing would work but I can't imagine it's clutch would hold up over the long run.

If somebody wanted 100% reliable emergency lug nut removal, I'd suggest a long breaker bar with a six point socket.

I'm thinking at least the Honda crank bolt was a fluke. I have a hard time believing that a 400 dollar IR couldn't do what a 50 dollar AliExpress 12v impact can

What is wrong with you people? .

I absolutely dont get this comment. The thread title and YouTube video links are advertising for the box throwing division of one of the largest company's in the world.

Same customer service if you buy these from the guy at the swap meet or from Amazon. They probably have a 1 year warranty that Amazon is not going to help you with.

The thread should be titled ROGTZ or M Plus electric wrenches. The also make electric jacks. Google ROGTZ and you can get some more information on their stuff.

Kinda off gimmicky but will probably work foe a while until a gear strips or the plastic cracks
