- Sun Nov 30, 2008 7:53 am #81018 I'm looking at maybe buying one. Seems like they're worth their weight in gold. Just unsure on how much torque is acceptable for general automotive use, cracking lugs, etc. Also unsure on how much I should expect to spend on a decent one.

Thanks.

Not sure how much they cost but can't see them being cheap!

- Sat Dec 13, 2008 3:48 pm #83482 Quick question in regards to the impact guns? Does anyone know if the Cordless gun has more torque than the Cord one? I know its a stupid question but i used a cordless one before to take of the crank pulley bolt and it was a success and now im trying to use a cord one and its being a B*@! to come off. Any inputs on this?

- Sat Dec 13, 2008 11:12 pm #83546 Well the one I got has about 80 ft-lbs of torque.

- Thu Dec 25, 2008 2:00 pm #85390 My Snap-on cordless impact has a maximum breakaway torque of 550ft lb
and tightening torque of 350ft lb. with 2100 BPM (blows per minute) i'd imagine the corded would be about the same, depending on the brand. the air impacts are anywhere from like 300-700 ft lbs. this is all snap-on brand Btw

- Thu Dec 25, 2008 4:35 pm #85398 air guns have more trq then cordless.. i got snap on cordless and a IR impact gun for the hard to move ones.
