are you looking for a impact gun, if yes, is it for screws or automotive, if you do a search you should find both. am sure you will find some for automotive, just search and read..

Interesting nickname you've got there. How did you ever come up with it?

Why would ask, then when you get a response which is a true response you doubt it?

If you were to know anything about tools or even watch an episode of Holmes On Homes you would know it. Mike Holmes even introduced it on one episode.

I have the snap on one mentioned, it makes good torque for a cordless tool. I have no problem taking off truck wheel nuts with it, it will take off 5 sets of tires easily on one charge.

I dont see any. Is torque all you need to look at? If i see a normal drill with a torque of 300 lbs will that be as effective as impact drill with 300 lbs of torque? I might change my muffler so I need something for muffler bolts. I guess i need a heating torch too.

technically...yes...but there is no drill out there that that can provide 300 ft/lb...even the high end powerful drill can only provide about ~35 to 40 ft/lb...I don't think you need 300 ft/lb to remove/install muffler bolt tho...nothing wrong with a hand socket set...it's not like you are removing/installing hundreds of bolts

Isnt there something unique about the impact action? they have impact screwdrivers that you hit with hammer. i wonder if torque is the only variable or if speed is also important.

[mistake]

applied torque 400 ft lbs
bolt break away torque 620 ft lbs

this is the 18 v0lt impact wrench at snap on tools

Wow, that's as powerful as my IR2131 pneumatic gun.

Not for an electric motor.

You will definetly need to hit the bolt with some kind of "LIQUID WRENCH" then a torch. Use a hamer to smack the bolt then your impact or socket wrench.

If these muffler bolts have been on for a while and very rusty, don't waste your time. Just cut them off and replace with new hardware.

Yes..there is something unique about the impact drivers...that's why they can provide such a powerful force...to read more about impact drivers and impact wrenches...click on the link below:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_driver

speed is equally important...the higher the force you wanted...the slower the speed...and the higher the speed...the less force will be applied...

Wow, that's as powerful as my IR2131 pneumatic gun.

That's because the OP does not know what he/she is talking about...it's 400 in/lb...it's in INCHES not FEET...400 in/lb is about 33 ft/lb!!

the specs are right there: ft-lbs. Pretty sure the torgue on car wheel lug nuts is about 100 ft-lbs.

[deep]

Most of the consumer brand cordless impact drivers will be measured in inch-pounds, often in the 800-1200 range.

Real impact wrenches like the Snap On above have real torque. Even Snap On makes lighter duty versions (like this (http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=yes&tool=power&item_ID=76502&group_ID=19405&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog) which has only 130 ft-lbs) but the one above is the real deal.

[mistake]

Thanks. What kind of torque should I look for if I want something for muffler bolts? Or, is a socket wrench just as effective? I was only considering an impact wrench because i thought they were necessary for muffler bolts. Maybe it is only stubborn screws that need the impact action?

that Snap on impact wrench is the real deal...it has 400 ft/lb...unlike the 14.4V Dewalt DRILL that you were referring to on CT...don't delete your own post and pretend it didn't happen...there is no such thing as a impact DRILL...only impact DRIVER & impact WRENCH...

There is nothing wrong with not knowing what you are talking about...that's why we are here asking the questions...but don't delete your own post and pretend you didn't mixed up in/lb with ft/lb

[mistake]

The posts are all there. You responded to the post by mtl4. How could I delete his post? Just follow the trail of posts.

The following quote is yours, not mine, Sir. I supplied proof that it was ft-lbs. Please let it rest. You would make a good lawyer.Shame.

"That's because the OP does not know what he/she is talking about...it's 400 in/lb...it's in INCHES not FEET...400 in/lb is about 33 ft/lb!!"

i dont know what lb/ft are in relation to torque. do you mean ft-lbs?
your fight is with mtl4. he was the guy who kindly pointed out your error.
please appreciate that someone provided you with the correct information. dont get mad and rebel against facts and then make up stuff to cloud the issue.
