I used ru-vid.comUgkx4ynqaujg7rZKFapA8s29kTpRszJGa3-K this for the first time today to replace the front wheel bearing on my rwd 98 dodge dakota. This had absolutely no issue removing or reinstalling the lug nuts and it took off the axle nut without any struggle. Sounds like it's got some muscle to it. Time will tell
*Awesome impact **MyBest.Tools** Takes tires off in a second. Plenty of power for what I’ve used it for - rotating tires. Using it on 3rd setting for removal and 2nd setting for tightening lugs.*
If you cant brake your nuts with 899b gun it means your nuts been overtorked. Im brakening and tightening mine with this gun all the time. Its got 1200 ft/lbs unscrewing tork and 700 tightening tork.
@@ernielucas6544 the socket has alot of give and doesn't hit as hard as it should. It basically just slips over the corners of the nut instead of giving a hard impact
In my truck, a carry a nitrocat 1250k 1/2 impact gun and connect it to the red glad hand. Works every time. All I use is a 3/8 air hose 50ft. I use this method all the time to change my shocks or to replace tires on both truck and trailer. I even do it at home so I don't have to kick on the big air compressor. I'm sure your system works for you but if you need something more efficient for on the road I figured I would share that with you.
Hi... It will be good if next time you doing a fix etc do a video like this of you doing all that with your own truck compressor there's no video at all doings this thing here.. oh btw let me know if you do it. Thanks
Nitrocat impact with trucks air? I don’t think so truck won’t produce enough air to pick up the air impact. Not even if you crank the governor on the trucks compressor. If that was the case every road service guy will just carry a small compressor and a nitrocat!.I have tried to run an impact with my truck and all it’s good for is lighter stuff not removing your semi tires. Maybe he was referring to a car tire.
I'm wondering if there's something wrong w your Dewalt. Seems like it should whip those nuts off instantly after you've broken the torque with the cheater wrench.
i have seen them take off bus nuts and some other truck nuts as well. not sure how tight those nuts were put on but it was heavy duty. maybe a little more time it would of broken off. it you replace your nut buster try putting the wrench on the lowest setting and seeing what happens. glad to see there was not hate for it not undoing it either thumbs up for sure
My 3/4 Earth Quake from Harbor Freight may be a bit stronger than that particular impact. As some has suggested, maybe something is wrong with the impact or battery. I know my Earth Quake is stronger with certain batteries. Great video, though. I think it would be a great idea to have one in the side box of the truck.
Loosing all your impact force with the worn out socket and by leaving the dewalts handle move to much. Get a new socket and brace the battery against your knee or something and you'll notice the difference immediately
This is a good idea to change a tire if no tire tech is nearby. And have it checked by a tire tech as soon as one gets to the nearest tires shop. Never continue driving until the torque and tire are checked and confirmed by a tire tech. SAVE A LIFE.
the Milwaukee 2763 will do the job I have both Milwaukee and the DeWalt and the DeWalt is junk. I used the Milwaukee on my truck and a few of my friends trucks too
Mark Kilroy your a fucking liar they are both have the same power but the dewalt has three speeds and better light and grip also doesn't heat up as much
I don't usually rotate these, some people do at about 50,000 miles though. This is replacing the tire that was ruined due to an alignment issue a few months back.
Did they give the toque wrench conversion chart with the multiplier they say you can use a 1/2 torque wrench to do it right And I would use a star Pattern when tightening I have seen one go loose and then they all go. More for anyone whose not sure 1 10 7 4. 3 8 9 2. 5 6 Do one through 5 then I point the 6 at the 12 o'clock and repeat pattern I get confused easily so this works for me.
That Dewalt is capable of almost 1200 ft/lbs of breakaway torque and 700 ft/lbs of tightening torque. Semi wheels are typically at 475 ft/lbs. What gives? I'm interested in getting a torque multiplier but most of the ones I've seen review(one of them was by Chester wrench) were build very cheaply and crudely. Poor internal castings and gears etc. Have you used yours a lot yet. How much was yours. I need to pull my 22.5 Class A motor home wheels. How do you get them torqued back to 475 lbs after putting them back on? That multiplier is capable of around 3000 lbs of torque. Careful. Thanks.
It takes more to break them loose after the lug nuts have been on for a while and exposed to the elements, wheel cleaners also can cause corrosion and make them harder to come loose and then a lot of times they are over torqued from whoever installed them from the get go. The torque multiplier is the way to go for something to keep in the vehicle and not worry about batteries going dead, but it's slow and tiresome to use but will get the job done 100 percent of the time. Mine is a Cheater wrench brand. I bought mine and my friend bought one also and we used them a decent amount, Its kind of crudely built but it never failed to work... Check out the video I just released today of testing the Milwaukee 2864 3/4" impact. It works well but it's a little pricey in comparison. Also they make a torque adapter that can go on a big breaker bar or ratchet for proper torqueing or you can buy a torque wrench. If you want to change more than one tire at a time the 3/4 milwaukee may be your better bet. The torque multiplier will get it done but its slow and a work out, still a great tool to leave in the vehicle in my opinion.
A socket and socket wrench should be okay, as long as it's not being hammered by an impact wrench. I'd consider using a cordless drill with the torque multiplier when doing light duty things like car lug nuts.
Worked out well, started getting 110-120k out of them. Would swap sides about 60-70k, because one would still wear slightly faster than the other, but it was much, much better than it was before.
EEeew, a firestone steer? Gawd, that's your FIRST problem. Just kidding but not really. Nice video. I feel like the technology for a battery-powered 1" impact is around the corner but I suppose I may be using this method soon. You know, for years I've just taken wheels off by removing the axle nut. NOT TOO FUN! Especially when a set of duals comes off with a drum attached! But this is how I change brakes and hub seals without going to a shop. And once I got to the end of your video, I was VERY pleased to see that the torque multiplier can be used to get those nuts back on! You wouldn't want a piddly Dewalt toy torquing those down. Thanks again
Technically you should torque them with a 3/4" torque wrench, but this will get you off the side of the road if you have to change one. I would recommend having them torqued or picking up a torque wrench if you do this alot. thanks for watching
they have small air tanks kinda like those little twin tank 110 volt compressors for running nail guns. you can run a small impact and air up tires. just not enough air volume to run a big impact wrench
chase5726 you can buy spares air tanks from literally any hardware store , harbor freight hv a bunch of air tanks , so yes you can use the truck air tu run air guns, that what I hv in my truck
its Possible but i dont think its practical to have a large enough air tank to run a 1" impact plus 1/2" air hose plus 1" impact on the truck. But if you have a video of your setup id love to see it in operation. I have an 80 gallon air compressor at home I can drain taking off just a few lugs.
500ft lbs is the spec, and the dewalt achieves that and more depending on how long you hammer on em, but it usually takes in excess of 1000ft lbs to break em loose after they are on there for a while and get rust, and dirt on em, especially if they are over tightened to begin with. The torque multiplier is not a real accurate tightening method either, Easy to over tighten, but it will break lugs loose that was hammered on with a 1" impact.
The Milwaukee impacts are far stronger these days and don't need the torque multiplier, but its still good to have in case of an emergency because the torque multiplier doesn't have any batteries that goes dead or for the extreme stubborn lug nut
for tightening yes but you would likely not be able to take them off with it without damaging it because it usually takes considerably more torque to remove them do to rust etc
Please pleases never ever install a wheel with a torque multiplier. This is insanely dangerous to the driver and other motorist. Industry standard is 450-500 ft lbs of torque dry fasteners . That multiplier will stretch the stud beyond it recommended limit. Torque is actually fastener stretch do not stretch beyond this limit their will be catastrophic failure . watch the video( torque its the law)
That dewalt sucks; Milwaukee is the way to go I do bus wheels with it all the time. Also I found its better to use a heavy impact socket like 3/4 with a 1/2 to 3/4 adapter for some reason it gives more impact strike.
@@juanc5149 striking force and torque are completely 2 different things, the more weight you add to a blow the stronger the impact will be. If you take a thin wall impact and you can't loosen it get a heavier thicker walled socket I bet it will come loose.
