Anyone own one of these or has used/owned one int he past?

They seem pretty cheap for the Torque they put out. I might be buying a new one come spring for some axle work on my car since my current CH wont budge some rusted on axles nuts.

They have one on sale now, 500 ft/lb in a case with some sockets for $99 CDN

seems kinda iffy though.

any feedback would be good

 

how about a piece of pipe on a ratchet? unlimited torque, low low price.

 

already did that, ended up breaking the breaker bar, I was lifting the car up lol

 

wow...i think you need to invest in a set of oxy/acet torches, not an impact wrench!

 

Check Snapon and Mac for used trade ins. They also get some good deals on new stuff.

I like the ability to make payments on thier stuff.

Stay away from Chicago pneumatics though, even Campbell Hausfield is cheap end stuff. Its hit and miss on durability.

 

Hmm I was always under the impression chicago pneumatic were pretty good? I have no issues with my CH, for what I use it for it hasn't let me down, unlike my crappy coleman.

 

spend money on a good breaker bar (johnson bar)

then get a nice 3-4 foot peice of pipe that fits nicely over the handle

if you go to say canadian tire for a breaker bar - a lil advise is - if ou put a pipe on it put a rage or tape on the handle before you slip the pipe on- if they see marks up on the handle they can say you abused the tool and can void the warrenty....

 

You should just be a chadxton and urinate all over it.

 

dont you already have an impact gun ?? if it isint puttin out the torque it used to. OIL IT !! get some tranny fluid (automatic) and put a few drops in the air fitting and plug her in - dont aim at any thing importain (oil will come out the vent/exhaust of the gun)... this can make a huge difference on a gun

 

hmm good tip on the tranny fluid

yeh i have a gun right now, 380 ft/lb CH, woulnd't budge the nuts one bit, they were on pretty nice too.
