I see alot of guys using them at the track.

What brand are you using & what was the cost?

 

hey captain i use 36 volt dewalt. they run about 450 bucks. i like them so much we use them at work to tighten guiderail and signs. there great.

 

And these are used for what,,,changing wheels??
Thanks

 

You got it.

Take street tires off, put drag radials on, race, take drag radials off, put street tires on. Cordless impact guns come in pretty handy.

 

I grabbed the 1/2" impact for the C3 line of cordless I have - still hasnt been tested yet.

 

That's pretty cool,,,,just gotta figure out how to take the drag wheels down to the track?
Wife's car??

 

Haven't seen it anymore as I want another one. I paid $79.00 and used it for 2 years now and it is still going strong.

 

I have the Dewalt one. I use it for work also and it works great!

 

Snap-on 2 years old,drop it, hammer with it ,use it on lugs. works flawless.But was $450, it better.Havent found anything it couldnt take off yet! I lied, lug on my 68 nova was on for close to 25 years (guessing ) and took a snap-on breaker and a 4' pipe to brake it loose,and no the stud didnt brake lol

 

I picked up a DeWalt Heavy-Duty 1/2 In. (13mm) 18V Cordless High Torque Impact Wrench from Home Depot. See: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...atalogId=10053

I only use it for changing rims, usually at home, before I go to the track. It works fine, no complaints at all. Cost was a bit high for how often I use it, but it makes changing the rims quicker and easier and nice to have around for when I do use it.

 

I have the same goodyear Artie has and think it is 2 years as well. Got it on sale with rebate too..don't recall final cost but it helps.

 

Just picked up the new Milwaukee 2662... WOW! Used it for the first time today!
Small, 2000 rpms variable speed,with 450 ft lbs of torque!!!!
Much lighter and hits harder & faster than my old 9079 model.

If anyone is interested, my old 9079 (300 ft lbs) is in repair for a new switch & armature.
I'm selling it for $150 (cost of the repair), w/ 2 lithium batteries & charger.
Should be good as new once its finished..
If no one wants it, it will be collecting dust.

 

Our company receives all the new products that come out pertaining to our construction industry. Most of the time they are demos that not hit the consumer market yet. In return we help the reps. by filing feedback responses to the tools we use. (Thats the kick back)
So a quick run down on all 1/2 cordless impacts from the following
1. Milwaukee/Rigid- Milwaukee builds most of Rigid products, same
internals, different design outer casings. Save your money buy the
Rigid. It carries the same warranty.
2. Dewalt- one of the heaviest impacts on the market. Battery life is
the weakest out of all of them. Meaning not time running, but
lifespan of battery before your buying a new one.
3. Makita- One of my favorites, light weight, easy in the hands, one of the best
clutch set up on market. If you purchase the units with the built in
flashlight keep in mind that the light will drain the battery about 15
minutes sooner than non lighted units. Also Makita's new charging
system is full charge in 15 min. Im talking about the blue/black
color housing not white/black housing which IMO is for household
4. Craftsman- never used them, we dont rep with Sears or there
distributers.
5. Ryobi- forget it
6. Porter cable- hasnt advanced its technology on drills for quite some
time. They concentrate more on the specialty tools IMO.
7. Panasonic- IMO the best, 15 min charge, its 15.7v has more torque
and run time than most 18-24v. One of the smallest of the 15v and
drills. Has built in drain capacity levels, titanium clutch packs. The
only battery I know of that the cold climates dont effect (triple
insulated)
8. There are several others out there Im just listing a few. We now
having the pleasure playing with Feud's newest and Metoba's but for
for the strength and the funds Id chose either Makita or Panasonic

 

They will fit into your Vette. Get a couple of tire bags (I got mine from Tire Rack) and put them into your Vette. One fits in the back and the other in the passenger seat. The light weight race jack fits on the passenger floor, and the impact gun, torque wrench and helmet fit into the tire in the back.

 

well results are in for the C3 Craftsman 1/2" impact

worked like the cats azz

 

Don't know if its the same one or not...
24v Impact Wrench $99.99

 

Yes, I got it from Pep Boys on sale for $79.00 and $10.00 rebate. They no longer carry it. My friend purchase one also after using mine. Can beat the price.

 

I purchased 2 of the GY impacts from PepBoys. One was OK and the other died on the first try. Returned the POS.

 

you did not say if you kept the one that was not DoA?

 

This NEVER fails me......just about as quick too!
