these things sucks..

theres a loss of torque when using em..

couldnt remove a bolt with this thing..

removed some parts to get to the bolt directly.. bolt came right out...

 

I hate those things i had one fly off and almost crack me in the head.

 

the swivel sockets are better, but you still loose some torque. But yeah all they are really good for is flying across the room at mach 3

 

wanna really live on the edge? Use a 3/4" drive impact with a swivel at the end of a 6 inch extention. I had to use that setup on the last job... it kept the job... well....interesting.

 

hehe yes nothing like a swivel on the end of an impact on the end of a retarded extension.... lets all get beamed in the face with a flying piece of steel

 

yea impact swivels are just an accident waiting to happen, if the angle is anything more then like 5-10 degrees i just dont attempt it and instead move everything out of the way to get it straight on.

The knuckle does a better job then your father.

 

oh and one of the more fun things with impact guns is seeing people who are retarded putting standard sockets on a high-powered impact gun. once it blows into shrapnel everyone gets a good laugh...and one special person gets an ambulance ride.

Ah good times...

 

The reason they lose power is because u lose most of the actual "impact hammer" force in the swivel itself.



Things on an impact wrench don't bother me as much as the air ratchets, i was working on a tug one time and was underneath, right above the diff removing a piece for the driveline brake and slammed my hand into the top of the floor, busted it up good.
