HF does have some decent tools, really depends on the individual tool and intended use. I buy a lot of stuff there, but I'm just a weekend warrior when it comes to working on vehicles. I'd probably buy better stuff if I was using it to make a living.
I wonder if using an extension cord with smaller gauge affects the performance, cause mine really struggles to remove the lugnuts of my car that are torqued to 80 lb/ft. I use my cordless Milwaukee impact driver now, it doesn’t even sweat it.
Well, it can't help. My outlet is a fairly straight shot to the breaker box. I've yet to have a nut this impact gun can't crack. The aluminum lug nuts on my ram truck are torqued to 130ft lbs and it pops 'em off no problem. My father-in-law's truck in this video had previously been torqued by a garage, so I'm certain they were tight. I didn't use a breaker bar, just the impact gun.
@@TheGergeDIY I know about the torque on your RAM, that's why I'm surprised mine struggles with an 80 lb/ft lugnut. Thanks for your response, great video btw.
@@TheGergeDIY I finally bought a 10ft 10awg heavy duty extension cord and was able to remove my cars lugnuts with no problem. It was the thickness and length of the cord that affected the power on the impact wrench for sure. Lesson learned!
***Question for anyone who knows*** @TheGergeDIY I have the above impact wrench. Which is a monster in weight. The thing IS heavy. So I just got this the other day NEW from mainly that store that sells them we all know of. In my unbox I see in the sealed handbook/manual plastic is a little zip bag. Inside is two parts the same. Looks like a square block end, a shaft with a spring on it. The end I can't explain. Looks like a gold color tiny saw blade. It took me a good while in research to at least get a hit as- "BRUSHES". Would that be correct that the part is BRUSHES? Last, in a nutshell can someone please tell me what that is and what that part does and what the wrench will do when I need that new part in acting up?
@josephbaumgardner - I don't recall seeing any parts in the box. I also don't remember unboxing it, or what happened to the manual, ha ha. I'll have to look in the garage though, 'cause I usually throw the manuals for stuff in a drawer.
