Pretty capable little drill. Excited to do some mods on my Tacoma with it. I’m not sure I would have tried removing rusted lugs torqued to 150lbs but cool to see that it did it, especially without bogging down at all.
Daniel T I didn't think it would take the Civic lug nuts off, at 80 ft pounds, but zip! it was off. I thought, "No way it takes a 150 ft lb Navigator lug nut off" but it did. This is a bad ass little impact driver!
There is barely any torque loss with impact drivers using hex adapters with sockets. 1500 inch pounds will translate to around 1300 inch pounds with sockets. 125 ft lbs vs 108 ft lbs. 17 ft lbs is not much torque loss.
@wmc128 Can you use a torque wrench with an extension and still get the correct torque? Can you use a torque wrench with an adapter say wrench 1/2" to 3/8" and still get the correct torque?
Great video. Thanks! The comment section is full of complainers. He is tested the max capability of the tool. None of you guys bought it for him why are you so interested in "tool abuse"?
Right! It was just a test. I have a 1/2 cordless impact wrench that will take anything off. I use it for lugnuts. I was just curious. Since I bought it, why not? BTW, it is great for 4 inch deck screws!
Yes, both from Harbor Freight. I keep a 1/2inch, 20V Kobalt impact wrench in the trunk for lug nut changes though. I was just curious if this would "work." It does, but I don't use it for anything except driving deck screws and lag bolts. I drove an 8-inch long, 3/8 inch screw into a 6x6 with it and it worked. Tip: drill a pilot hole first. Much easier and the screw goes in straight. I wish I had bought the variable strength version of this, though. This one is a little touchy. It will bury the head of a deck screw 1/2 inch into the board if you aren't careful.
Probably won't work on a rusted lug nut, but it sheared off the head of a rusted 10mm bolt. Pretty strong 1/4 inch impact! Little batteries don't last long, but they are plenty strong through their limited run time.
The Dewalt is an impact driver, not an impact wrench. It is intended to “drive” screws into wood. It doesn’t have an anvil. It has a ¼ inch hex socket that screw bits or drill bits fit into. It can be adapted to drive sockets, however. In my video, you can see the adapter. It has a ¼ inch hex on one side and a ½ inch anvil on the other. The “anvil” is the square drive on the other end that the socket goes on. Torque loss is due to the adapter. It absorbs some of the energy produced by the tool, thus reducing its power slightly. This Dewalt is rated at 1,500-inch pounds (125 ft. lbs). It easily removed the Civic lug nuts (80 ft lb), and even the Navigator lug nuts (150 ft lb) although it struggled with the Navigator. This tool isn’t intended for lug nuts anyway. I have a ½ inch impact wrench for that kind of task. However, the Dewalt is plenty strong! It works well for any small to medium nut or bolt on my car, and really shines for its intended purpose: driving 4 inch deck screws.
As the video makes clear, this was a demonstration, not a recommendation. I keep a 20V 1/2 inch impact wrench in the trunk if I need to remove the tires. I use the 1/4 inch impact driver for its intended purpose: driving deck screws and lag bolts in wood.
I saw you video from mexico and i make the request in amazon .right away.now .thanks a video that show the tool not the man smiling and talking to the camera thanks.
I’m not trying to criticize, but this is the wrong tool for this job, whether it can do it or not. You should really use an impact wrench, and most brands have compact impact wrenches available. If you use an impact driver for mechanical work over and over, you’ll destroy the collet and snap the adapter.
My 2000 Navigator lug nuts were listed as 150 ft lb torque. Apparently, this is common for Ford trucks. Seemed high to me too, but that's what the book said was correct.
I have bought one of these for ordinary D.I.Y. jobs around the house, I think it will be just fine for that.

Stephen Lutz yeah no kidding! I’m glad I purchased the combo set with a larger drill, two batteries, charger and contractor bag.

This is deep
@wmc128 Can you use a torque wrench with an extension and still get the correct torque? Can you use a torque wrench with an adapter say wrench 1/2" to 3/8" and still get the correct torque?
About 18 percent loss
Thanks for the video. Got one for Christmas as well.. primarily for changing mower blades, and running down the stabilizer jacks on my travel trailer.
Great video. Thanks!

Amazing it took the navigator lug off at 150! My tacoma is 80-85, it will be like the civic
Usually when you put a bigger battery it has a bit more torque. But idk maybe not on a tool that small. But impressive.
I bought one because I saw people don't this Mine didn't, what a bummer.
Need a more short adapter to less the loss of torque
I bought my set today for DIY around my home
These are very nice I just got one for Christmas love it
Do you ever use a 19 mm socket for the lug nuts on your civic?
Just bought this at my work for $61. Came with two batteries and a carrying bag and charger.
$61 wow that’s an amazing discount
😂😂 only 887 is 61$.
So this is a 1/4 impact with the 1/2 adapter correct!?
Yes
Yes.
Thanks. I've always wondered if this would work. Is that adapter and socket from harbor freight?
Yes, both from Harbor Freight. I keep a 1/2inch, 20V Kobalt impact wrench in the trunk for lug nut changes though. I was just curious if this would "work."

damn, that thing nearly exploded in your hands lol
can u take off the lugnutz after the winter season tho? when the nutz are all rusted!? using only a 1.3ah battery too!
Probably won't work on a rusted lug nut, but it sheared off the head of a rusted 10mm bolt. Pretty strong 1/4 inch impact! Little batteries don't last long, but they are plenty strong through their limited run time.
Nothing wrong with using this to take off lugg nuts but you just gotta loosen em first lol
well done and helpful. Thinking of getting one of these
Can you explain the torque loss thing you were talking about? What is an anvil in this context?

@@stephenlutz123 Ah, I think I understand now. Thank you very much for your explanation!
Forgot doing that and punishing the tool use a impact that you know can handle it or just use a breaker bar
As the video makes clear, this was a demonstration, not a recommendation. I keep a 20V 1/2 inch impact wrench in the trunk if I need to remove the tires. I use the 1/4 inch impact driver for its intended purpose: driving deck screws and lag bolts in wood.
@@stephenlutz123 still demonstration or not that drill isn't meant to do this especially when you know you know it's not meant to
I saw you video from mexico and i make the request in amazon .right away.now .thanks a video that show the tool not the man smiling and talking to the camera thanks.
I am very happy with it. Speeds car repairs tremendously. Strong too!
Got it for $79 dollars there still a lot of these at my store they reduced Home Depot is just trying to get rid of them now
not an xr lol
What was the fork for thats the real tool
Why do they make them so long?
do you recommended it for me ?
What size socket did you use
21mm for the Navigator. Pretty sure the Civic was also 21mm. Used a Hex to 1/2 inch socket adapter.
I’ve taken lug nuts off of my 07 Chevy Subruban 1500 with this impact gun. Pretty supprising Honeslty lol
what socket/adapter?
@@iraravitz2024 7/8ths
Fast forward to 3:19 unless you have time to waste listening to nothing. I have this driver. I bet you would destroy it after all 5 lugs.
I believe they are rated for 117 ft lbs so not an issue for most cars, for trucks you'll need an actual impact wrench or just a good ol tire iron.

My Corvette race car we don't go over 100lbs-ft per lugnut. 150 is way high! Bad for wheel bearings

Boy this guy's a man's man you listen to him talk
Sounds like Ron Swanson
RIP HEADPHONE USERS
😂😂
thanks
That attachment is omazing
Best tool brand
Right tool for the right job, you don't use a driver for impact wrench work. 😁 Let the professionals do the job!!
I bet typing that made you feel like a man!😅
Huh?!? I didn’t know that?
hi
Lug nuts too much for that toy....just small stuff...but it's edjamacashon
The guy use wrong tools ,,
Your a tool
He's not "Using the wrong tools" he's demonstrating what *This* tool can do. The video is about *This* tool, not the lug nut removal process.
