I’ve got the dewalt 3/4” impact I use for light duty pickups and stuff all the time.
Works awesome I am adding Milwaukee as I go from here on out |

That's for when you want to remove the wheel studs before you remove the wheel, right?

I've got one of those I use to break lug nuts loose on an Isuzu Cabover. 330ft/lbs, reverse threaded won't come loose otherwise.

Funny story. I usually think fuck Milwaukee because, well fuck China. But they sent a family member who works for Habitat for Humanity over 600 of assorted power tools after they had their trailer broken in to and all the tools stolen. So I may have to rethink that. He got 2 of those.

Does this come at standard rate for an oil change at Jiffy Lube, or do I have to pay extra?
I want that drain plug in extra tight. |

Ain't planning on doing much with that little battery are you...maybe two wheels?

That tool is one of the reasons I don't understand Makita trying to sell their new 40 volt system as a way to make more powerful tools. Milwaukee's 18volt stuff is still more powerful and this beast of a thing, it can run off an 18 volt battery. Damn impressive!

Quoted: My 1/2 inch is 1400 lb ft, Jesus...I don't work on semis anymore, I'm good. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: 3/4" drive? We bought a pneumatic torque wrench at work. 1000 ft-lbs is no joke. Best, JBR My 1/2 inch is 1400 lb ft, Jesus...I don't work on semis anymore, I'm good. I have the 1/2" hi torque. All I will ever need working on cars. |

I’ve worked on some large industrial equipment where the torque value was so high pretty much the only way to get it (and the factory recommended way) was to heat the cross bolts to a specific temp then torque the nut onto the bolt. The only way to get it apart is either cut the cross bolt or re-heat the cross bolt and then break the nut free.
That Milwaukee tool wouldn’t touch it. |

View Quote Yeah, those are like unto the nuts you find at Missile bases. At first we cut a huge wrench out of a piece of scrap 3/8 plate with a torch, and sleeved the handle with a scrap pipe, but that got old fast. It takes forever and a Sunday to unscrew a 4"x32tpi stainless castle nut 5/8 of a turn at a go with an 87 pound homemade box wrench. |
|
In case anyone cares, it takes ~116 large bottles of Ox a week for ~5-8 weeks to cut an Atlas-E into 5' chunks. 6 dudes and 4 torches. 1 dude on the jackhammer and one loading.

that's a hell of a tool , we use them to set up
I -Beam concrete forms for bridges , they cost around $1200.00 bucks and are worth every penny in time- virus money compared to air compressors & air impacts .. so i was told the impact runs 1200 and the extra batteries run around 500 .. the batteries are very long lasting i was impressed in the run time of them and the torque of that impact ..

TS2 View Quote Like the poster said, not the torque. Even on a five inch nut been underwater for thirty years, it wasn't torque. The vibration, though, approached 90# jackhammer levels at times. You wanted to be already having a secure grasp. |

The coolest part about missile base salvaging was how much ordinary stuff wasn't as far as you could tell. You had to see it next to an ordinary example to tell. We salvaged some bases that had literally been flooded to ground level since about a year after the original salvagers left in '72-'74, pumped em out, hooked a temp pole to the stump of the proper panel, and 3/4 of the original incandescent lamps and switches still worked.
You'd see like a bead chain, say, on a light fixture, 'Oh, an ordinary bead chain like they have at Ace." But you actually compare it and it's about 4x heavier than the heaviest bead chain you can get without commissioning a custom run, which of course is what DOD did in the early sixties. Fuck the budget, we've got Mastercard. |

When they went all out for land based missile systems, they eminent domained the sites based on topography. Most of them were obsolete before the sites were finished, but they went on so as not to look silly. Then the they decomm'd em, took the misiles and such, let salvage contracts, and moved on. The sites reverted to the fudds, who didn't give a sweet shit they got a free bunker in those days, and so they let them moulder.

Every land based missile site in the CONUS has an official certified USGS brass marker at the top of the driveway where they load the missiles, upon which the collimator is calibrated.

My boss had a 1” torque amplifier that would work beautifully with that thing. It weighed about 50 lbs and looked very much like it took two people to operate. I wish I could remember the ratio.

Quoted: FALSE Milwaukee > Strap On When it comes to electric impacts. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: No SNAPON logo, no real impact. FALSE Milwaukee > Strap On When it comes to electric impacts. My boss has a hardon for Snap On impacts. No problem, except when they change the battery slide in connections so they aren't backwards compatible with his otherwise fine older tools, and they don't sell the old style batteries anymore. He's tried rebuilt battery packs and they don't last for shit. Fuck Snap On and their cordless tools. |
