- Civic lug nuts 80 ft lbs. Navigator lug nuts 150 ft lbs. Impact driver rated 125 ft lbs. It took them both off. Civic, easily, Navigator, barely, but it did it
I have bought one of these for ordinary D.I.Y. jobs around the house, I think it will be just fine for that.
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!
Stephen Lutz yeah no kidding! I’m glad I purchased the combo set with a larger drill, two batteries, charger and contractor bag.
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.
Amazing it took the navigator lug off at 150! My tacoma is 80-85, it will be like the civic
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.
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
These are very nice I just got one for Christmas love it
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.
I bought my set today for DIY around my home
Best tool brand
Need a more short adapter to less the loss of torque
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!
well done and helpful. Thinking of getting one of these
That attachment is omazing
Boy this guy's a man's man you listen to him talk
Sounds like Ron Swanson
damn, that thing nearly exploded in your hands lol
Just bought this at my work for $61. Came with two batteries and a carrying bag and charger.
$61 wow that’s an amazing discount
😂😂 only 887 is 61$.
Nothing wrong with using this to take off lugg nuts but you just gotta loosen em first lol
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.
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
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
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!
RIP HEADPHONE USERS
😂😂
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
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!😅
My Corvette race car we don't go over 100lbs-ft per lugnut. 150 is way high! Bad for wheel bearings
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.
thanks
Do you ever use a 19 mm socket for the lug nuts on your civic?
What was the fork for thats the real tool
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." 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.
So this is a 1/4 impact with the 1/2 adapter correct!?
Yes
Yes.
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.
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.
Why do they make them so long?
Can you explain the torque loss thing you were talking about? What is an anvil in this context?
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.
@@stephenlutz123 Ah, I think I understand now. Thank you very much for your explanation!
do you recommended it for me ?
Huh?!? I didn’t know that?
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.
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.
okay i have the same tool and thinking abt using it for losing tighing lug nuts on cars. Do u think I should just get a impact wrench instead? It seems like it has potential power to loose the lug nuts but is it bad idea for primary use?
I don't use this for lug nuts, ever. I was just stress testing beyond its design specs. I have a Kobalt 1/2 inch 20V impact wrench I keep in the trunk for lugnuts. With impact sockets, it will take anything off. I have taken axle nuts and suspension component's off with it. The Dewalt 1/4 inch driver is perfect for smaller nuts, like a fender or alternator bracket. If anything, I should have bought the three speed Dewalt 1/4 inch driver. The one speed one is sometimes too strong. It will bury a 3 inch deck screw, 1/2 inch into pressure treated lumber if you aren't careful. It a deck construction beast.
@@stephenlutz123 thanks! i will buy extra impact wrench :) dont wanna ruin my dewalt
@@stephenlutz123 i bought this one for learning carpentry since the whole covid work at home things. Others review this at beginner use, low torque but long life tools, so i choose this over the larger impact driver. First time i use it, since it was reviewed as low torque impact driver, i just full press it to drive 4" screw to ex pallet wood. Not only it was fast (less than 2 secs), in next half second it buried my 4" screw straight into the wood and split the wood on half.
I should have read that it was classified as low torque driver in automotive, not carpentry haha
@@chuckd7423 mine is at least 5 years old. It is 20V lithium. They don't even make it anymore. It is a beast. Has taken off lug nuts, axle nuts, ball joints, control arms, shocks, anytbing I have used it on. I would not hesitate to buy a Kobalt 24V cordless tool. This shit is for real!
@@stephenlutz123 Thanks for the reply. The compact 1/2 Kobalt impact normally sells at Lowes for $99, and so does the 3/8 impact, which appears to be the same tool except for a different size anvil, but that price is for the bare tool. Occasionally Lowes includes one of these impacts for free in a sale that includes a 2 amp and 4 amp battery along with the charger, all for $129. I've been watching to see if one of these sales shows up because both of those compacts have been shown on multiple TH-cam videos to break loose nuts torqued at more than 200 ft lbs, and since I would mostly just keep the tool in my vehicle for emergency tire changes on the road, that would probably suffice. On the other hand, $169 is a great price for the full size model with 650 ft lbs, so if the compacts don't go on sale soon, I may just pick up that model. Just an FYI, I've also seen the 1/4 Kobalt driver with a hex to 1/2 socket adapter also pretty easily break loose nuts torqued to over 200 ft lb, and I suspect it may be the same tool as the two impact wrenches but with a different nose piece. It's currently on sale at Lowes through July 7th, along with a drill/driver, battery, charger and case for $129, from the regular price of $199, and that impact driver would probably suffice as an emergency tire changing wrench for my vehicle, since the lugs are normally torqued to only 80 ft lbs. Lots of choices, but I'm impressed with the Kobalt line. It also doesn't hurt that I'm retired military and get 10% off on all Lowes purchases.
