Impact Wrench

[Urbanfox]

Why? Why must I follow these forums? I’ve now gone and ordered a Dewalt DCF899HN. Hopefully her in doors will be out when it’s delivered.

Know the feeling!!!!! Spent more in lock down that I do going out to the pub.

I've been thinking about one of getting an impact wrench for a while now.

Noob question first, my worry would be too over torque the wheel bolts. How do you measure the torque to stop it doing this? Thanks

I just do a quick shot on each bolt with the impact wrench then finish them off by hand with a torque wrench

Same as @andys ... start them off by hand to avoid cross threading, drop the impact to level one, which reduces the power then finish up with the correct torque setting with a torque wrench.
