anyone know where i could buy a cordless impact wrench to remove lugnuts from a car......checked sears...homedepot and autozone...no luckkk...anyhelp.......

 

Snap on carries a real nice one. Its like $500 tho. Its a lot but its worth it. Im not sure who else sells one. Did you ask Sears if they can special order one?

 

Here is the link to the cordless impact wrenches -

They have 3/8 and 1/2 inch drives. They have cheaper ones available. It just depends on what you get. Some come with or without batteries and chargers.

1/2" is the size of the sockets used for impacts and it what I would think everyone would use if they have proper tools.

 

so 1/2 inch drive will work ? i dont want to buy the wrong one and get stuck wit it......any one elsse with some input? any mechanics.....

 

Do you have a Harbor Freight out there? If so i know they sell them. I want to get one from them soon.

Perfect for at the track and changing to slicks.

 

so 1/2 inch drive is the one to buy??????

 

Well thats up to you. You could use either a 3/8ths or a 1/2inch drive. As long as you have the 17mm for the lugnuts your good.

Now the 1/2inch would take it off alot faster then a 3/8ths, also a 1/2 is alot stronger usually.

 

thanks......that answers my question!

 

if you are looking at spending $500 on a cordless impact, you'd be much better off buying a compressor and some air tools, and a torque wrench (for the track) for about the same amount of money and be able to do MANY more things

 

actually ive found some cordless one on ebay for around 200-250.....dewalt...pretty good deal...
