Never used an electric impact that was very strong (only used a couple, and that was at least 10 years ago). Maybe this one is better. Can't say for sure. We always use Air Impacts at work.

 

Sure that Impact will work just great on your 1980 Accord

 

my accord is 2000 se
so I can use that to attack hard to remove bolts, like crank pulley bolt to show who is the boss.

hmm, 345 ft. lbs...sounds like it should handle most jobs you throw at it, but IMO, if you have the cash, and do alot or plan to do alot fo your won work, invest in a good air compressor and air tools

 

I'd bet money that it won't loosen the crank pulley bolt unless the pulley was off before. It should handle anything else on your car fine.

I am thinking the same, yes my timing was done by the dealer once upon a time, but here I found this guy remove his cranck pulley bolt http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq...siest

 

That won't take off your bolt. My usual suggestion for crank pulley bolts: take it to a shop, have them take it off and put it back on hand tight. They charge almost nothing and it will save a lot of time.

 

345 ft/lbs is pretty damned good for an electric impact gun. it might take the crank pully bolt off. I personally have never had a problem removing a crank pulley bolt using a crank holder tool and a 3 foot breaker bar. Works every time.

 

I have a Snap-On 1/2in 18V battery impact and it has taken off every bolt i've thrown at it including axle nuts. So they do have a good deal of power. I could assume a 110V one would do even better.

 

it definitely wont take off the crank pulley. i have a craftsman air impact with ~400 - ~450 lb. and it didnt budge the bolt. Unless the bolt has not been tightened... it might take it off

same here, i don't think there's any electrical impact gun can do that.

but again, i usually use a cheater bar and some good old muscle.

I have a wimpy 250lb one, it's for emergency use for the ladys' ride during long trips.

I am thinking of getting compressor and the whole nine yard

 

I tried to take off my crank pulley bolt to change the timing belt on my civic with a eletric impact gun, it didnt even budge after 10 mins of trying. went to the shop and in 2 seconds it was off.
