Hello,
I am about to do some additional suspension work and am going to get an impact driver to help with the big bolts. I have an air compressor, but the tank isn't quire big enough for pneumatic tools, which is a shame.
I was looking at this one,
Bauer 64120 1/2 Inch Heavy Duty Extreme Torque Impact Wrench ($100) (it's at Harbor Freight for $80)
The Amazon listing says "high power 8.5 amp motor delivers 1050 ft lbs. bolt breakaway torque". When I look at the manual .pdf from Harbor Freight it says 300 ft lbs., which is not exactly 1050 ft lbs.
This is another one,
Porter-Cable PCE211 Corded Impact Wrench, 7.5-Amp, 450 lbs. of Torque, 1/2 Inch ($80)
which would have quite a bit more torque if the specs are right. This doesn't make much sense if it has a 7.5 amp motor as compared to 8.5 amp with the Bauer.
I do get a little annoyed when manufacturers can't just say what they have and what it costs and leave it at that.
At any rate, I am looking for a corded impact driver in the $75 to $100 price range. This leaves out brands like Milwaukee and similar. Has anyone used either of the models listed above or have a different one to suggest?
Thanks,
