"Im retired and don't even work on cars" that's classic man! Love it. I bought the 900 today and I was thinking I didn't really need it ... I got along all these years without it.
I have a couple Milwaukee impacts. I bought one of their 3/8 drive brushless 12v stubbies and was very impressed. I am looking at replacing the hub assemblies on my old GMC so I picked up the Hyper Tough 900ft lbs impact. It made easy work of the 14 yr old axel nuts up in the rust belt. I just can’t believe I got this much tool for the price of a Milwaukee 6mah battery!
Hi Stevo, I love your channel and your choice of Hyper Tough Impacts. I was wondering if you could do a video on the Hyper Tough 900 ft lbs. high torque wrench you have there. I am really interested in buying one, but can’t find any videos on TH-cam for that model. Please 🙏 let me know my friend. Thank you 🙏 and GOD be with you always sir. 🇺🇸
there's nothing wrong with these HT impacts, my only concern is the batteries, i wouldn't bother with the smaller ones, id just get the 4ah and your set. I've got all DeWalt stuff and I've considered getting some of these.
4ah batteries are the way to go..they have a 4ah battery with usb-A & usb-c out now .. they still need 6ah or 8ah in the 20v series ..they already has a 6ah in the 12v series
150lbs of torque is the standard for tightening lugs on a passenger car. Anything under 100 ft lbs is not safe in my opinion in terms of lug nut tightness.
You are correct most list around a 100 safest is 150 not unless you have cast aluminum..you can still break loose 150 manually...but always check torque specs for your vehicle 75-150 & some 400 so ask google
I worked as a professional mechanic starting about 50 years ago. I think torque specs on cars then were 80-90 ft-lbs, even the same for pickups, and some of those were pretty heavy vehicles. I never saw a problem with that level of torque if it was really torqued to that level. I saw some problems when a lug was tightened to half that. A lot of cars and SUVs these days are 140 ft-lb. (both of my SUVs are 140.) If a person has a flat tire they will never get their lugs that tight with the little tool included in the car. I carry a breaker bar and real socket in my car. I wouldn't be afraid to drive cross country in my SUV at 100 ft-lb. (Google's AI search says the recommended torque on a 1973 Chevrolet pickup was 95-105 ft-lb. For other Chevrolet vehicles I found recommendations ranging from 55 ft-lb to 80 ft-lb.)

I like the collection of hyper toughs ! I can see the difference in sizes
Torque sticks work with air impacts but don't work with cordless impacts because the cordless impact hits so much faster.

Thanks I will make a another video soon when things slow up ..gets busy this time of year
@@stevooliver3877 Yes Sir, no problem sir. I just wanted to get one maybe this Black Friday. Thank you for helping me. 🇺🇸
Yes get it ..it will be valuable to you in many situations..$99 ..plus that device is mainly for removal but keep the mid level for putting on
Just remember lithium in winter don't work to well..so make sure you torque the wheels to spec..4 way lug wrench for insurance
