torque impact driver

[OddDuck]

I have a 1/2" DeWalt. My son took it to a (car) track day for wheel changes, and it was used to take the front axle nut off a FWD car.

All I use it for on the bike is the front sprocket nut as I'm scared of breaking anything else! I suspect it could be useful if the flywheel ever has to come off.

I have the same - cordless (for work under the car) - it was $$$ but justified the purchase first time it was used. Rated at 340 Nm if memory serves. If you're trying to undo a seized bolt on something like a flywheel they are a lifesaver. Not so controllable for refitting though so the relevant torque wrench needs to be available.

Achtungbaby - apologies if you've already tried this - get the CRC / WD40 / PB Blaster onto the fastener, let it soak in for at least three hours, then try taking it off. It takes a while for the stuff to penetrate the oxide or dust layer between the fastener and whatever it's attached to.

Thanks for all replys. It was more holding tool for variator.pins where slightly to wide so got machine shop fix that.so i was trying try get away, it. I just undo it with socket set.be better off buying a torque wrench. But i have good idea know. In future. I will get a cordless wrench.

Thanks. I like the sound of this.

This is the one I ended up with, probably overkill but most of its use will be smashing screw bolts into concrete.
