I need to know if they have enough torque to break, let's say, an axle end nut. I've been looking for an excuse to get one, and now I can't get get this damn axle nut off, even with my 3 foot breaker bar.

If not.....Hey Tom! Would you mind if I came down to your shop to use your air tools for a bit?!

good luck getting an axle nut off with a impact.

Last time I popped virigin axle nuts off, it was all 200 lbs of me on the end of a 2 foot bar and bouncing up and down. That's like 400 ft lbs

do a search in rr/ax, been covered many times recently.

Electric "power" tools always suck. No exceptions. It'll take a lot of weight, a big prybar and a friend holding the breaker steady to get em off. Just did it two weekends ago on an 88 CRX.

I have a Snap-On one and that thing is bad *** the only thing is some times I have a hard time taking off is crank pulley bolt , but anything esle is cake. To bad the Electic impact from Snap-On is $400 !

the new snap on electric impact is the *****. Everything I can take off with my 1/2 composite/titanium ingersol rand, i can take off with the new snap on electric impact. *****!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, exactly what I needed. I was just putting in the wrong search parameters I guess.

I weigh 235 lbs, so you would think that, combined with the leverage of a 3 ft breaker, would pop that thing off. But, I was starting to round off the nut and decided to call it a day.

i have a 4 ft breaker bar for the axle nut. (with me standing on it jumping up and down)

i havent found an electric one that will take it off.

My Ingersoll-Rand impact gun with 600 ft/lbs of torque takes off axle bolts like they were candy Only problem is I lose all my bolts cause they spin half way across the garage Gotta make sacrifaces somewhere.

my friends electric impact wrench took off brand new axle nuts with ease.

i never had any luck, with any electric gun, but i will ty this one...

i've used my friends makita impact gun and it seems like it could take off an axle nut or crank pulley. but i'm not sure, since we only used it to take off suspension parts.
