As a automotive technician, I’m thoroughly impressed with that little impact gun😂 btw, the torque specs on the lug nuts is 76 ft lbs, so you definitely stretched the threads on the stud
That velcro is probably to grab the carpet in your trunk to keep the whole thing from sliding around. Lay it velcro side down and it should hold itself in place pretty well.
The impact design is actually kinda brilliant. It works similar to a regular impact, but it has that spool up stage to both save electricity and build up torque.
I mean, when you think about it, it's designed to run off the car battery. Do I think it'd stand a chance of draining the battery? Probably not. But why risk it, if you have a solution that conserves the amount of power required?
Actually I think their is a better reason for it to be that way other than saving battery and that is that it applies enough force to loosen the bolts but for a short enough time where if it failed to loosen on the first tap it isn't going to snap the threading... (To lazy to re write so here is what I wrote what I though the tapping design was for) Honestly while the tap, tap, tap seems weird I think that may be to make sure to not snap the threaded part by keeping the pressure at a minimal amount of time, I know one time trying to get a bolt off I ended up snapping the threaded part because it was on too tight and probably got some junk causing it to stick worse, by giving those love taps rather than staying strong the entire time you are still applying enough force to slowly get it loose while making sure that if it is too stuck you don't end up over torqueing it snapping it while trying to get it off. So while it seems odd if you don't think to hard about it, it actually makes a lot of sense having a way to apply the pressure needed to loosen the bolt without giving it enough range of motion to actually cause any damage if it fails to loosen on that quick burst tap. A way to look at it is you need to move a heavy box, once you over come friction you are golden but until you over come friction you have a risk of cracking the box, since over coming friction takes more force than keeping it moving once moving if you are building up to the speed you need and pushing harder and harder you risk cracking the box before it breaks free of friction, but if you bump the box take a second and keep bumping the box until it over comes friction allowing the box to return to its original state between bumps while it still has a risk of breaking the box because the inertial force is such a short distance it is a much reduced chance, and once you get it sliding then it has the force to keep pushing. In some ways it has a higher risk of cracking that screw thread but in many other ways it has lower risk of cracking that screw thread making it an over all lower risk of breaking something by going tappity tap tap rather then one long hard shove.
@@rcslyman8929 Manufacturer doesn't care, asmuch or at all saving car battery but smaller power means smaller current-that means thinner wire and savings in copper.
Impacts need current and you can't pull that type of current through a 12-volt cigarette plug so this type of spool up impact is sufficient for its application.
@@hockeyhacker97yeah that’s not it. It’s just a way to pretty cheaply get a lot of torque out of the tool without a really big hammer to drive the impact which also requires a bigger motor. If the bolts going to snap then it’s going to snap. The box example is also wrong. It’s not like that at all because the box doesn’t have a point in time where it’s not actually moving besides before you start pushing. Impacts, especially like this one, have multiple points in time where they are not rotating. Every time you hear an impact the impact is not moving. The lack of movement is what causes the impact to happen at all. Go watch torque test channel and you’ll get a decent rundown on a tool like this one. I think it’s called egg beater impact
That's honestly impressive. The driver design is pretty cool. It doesn't have the tech that more expensive tools do, but it makes do with what it has and it works.
@@jessebrook1688 i was thinking the exact same thing. It's probably only good for a couple of uses. I can't imagine a flywheel like that would last long.
these types of impacts hit basically like a regular cordless mid mid torque. each hammer is significantly heavier than what a regular mid torque hits at, but of course it's much slower. This means that for super seized stuff it works better than a regular impact, or will instantly just snap the stud.
Torque Test Channel did a video where they had one of those guns. It hits really hard, but takes forever. They called in an Egg Beater style or something.
My thought is that either the glass breaker is for another car, you come up to an emergency where someone is trapped in a car then you can grab it from your kit, or it's just an added item that u would take out and keep in glove box or somewhere handy.

Yes that vehicle torque spec calls for 80ft-lbs, and no your torque wrench works the stud/lug nut are now just messed up. Only vehicles with 7/16 and 9/16 lug studs get torqued over 100ft-lbs. As funny as that thing is it was impressive how it actually performed. This could actually be good for someone new in this area. I will say I have ran into quite a few folks that didn't even know how to change a flat tire to begin with. For future information to those that might purchase this, your going to want to hook this up directly to the battery and have the vehicle running any time you use this product. You will get better/faster/reliable results that way.
Yup, all he did is took the stud to the yield point = stud junk. Even tightened to 80 ft pounds it won't provide much less clamp load. Someone earlier in the comments mentioned Tyler was a diesel mechanic - I found that very hard to believe.
The "impact" driver sounds like those old wind up toys. The ones you had to rev up a few times then let them go so they go fast LOL Very surprised at how well it works
Its spooling up a flywheel. Probably got a centrifugal clutch that once it opens far enough engages the clutch and BAM! A seconds worth of surprisingly good torque transfer.
@@foughtwolf right, that's how other impacts work too. The only difference is this one takes a while to spool up and a typical impact spools up pretty fast.
Once again an incredible video and I didn't learn jack but it was worth every penny. Your torque wrench wasn't clicking because the stud was just stretching

@@goreobsessed2308 In my truck that is rear wheel drive, my back end being a lot lighter than the front doesn't have as much traction. I find that my rear tires when I don't rotate them are about 60 to 70% more worn than my front ones. So rotating is not pointless for everything
If I had to make a guess I’d say the Velcro type material on the side of the case is so you can lay it down on the floor in the back of a car and not have it slide around everywhere because the Velcro would grip to the carpet. That’s my guess, I’m not saying I’m right😂
honestly i didnt expect that "impact" would do absolute shit lol im impressed tho i get an understand how it work atleast in theory maybe since the anvil inside spins up to speed then finally expels that inertia in 1 fell swoop.. sorta acts more like a nascar or indy racing air gun where it builds up the hammer/anvil inertia before imparting it onto the lug nuts which is why the prespin them up prior to putting them onto the tires at the race
Yeah it seems like it's just a trade off. Less ugga duggas per second but the ugga duggas are still strong. Interesting little tool, a clever cost saving design.
It feels like this kit was just to get you mobile again. Like a car's version of a first aid kit. It's a small, compact case that can fit in virtually any car's trunk/storage space, and it'll definitely do the job of getting really sticky lugs off so you can get the spare tire on long enough to get to a mechanic who can do a better job than the kit. I mean, for what it is, I'd say it's probably worth it if you're going to do a lot of traveling. Otherwise, just throw your car at your insurance and AAA.
@@point-five-oh6249 you might be surprised how few modern cars an suvs come with a spare tire anymore its kinda astounding to me lol alot now just have a bottle of slime/fix a flat , plastic air comprosser an maybe tire plugs
11:56 and dude that was pretty good….much better than using the tool that comes with the car. And the design of it is actually really smart. It does not strip the bolts, so it does small ounces of power and then it goes right for it. I really like this box. I’m gonna get one myself.
It left me with the impression it doesn't. It only takes the nuts off for you. I imagine to simplify the design. Edit: It's does have a tighten button.
That's cool. Though you do not raise the tire off the ground to loosen tires. The friction against the ground keeps the wheel from rotating while loosening.
Always carry spares, they're inexpensive and you won't be changing your tyres on a regular basis as these are not meant for industrial use so I'd say they will last you a long time.
I've got a kit like this but looks a little different, I've had it for 3 years now, works great. I'm glad mine doesn't have the flashing red/blue lights, there is a tiny LED just in front of the jack shaft, its for eliminating under the vehicle. The velcro is to stop it from sliding around in the boot of the car.
Realistically 90% of the glass breaker and seatbelt cutters sold as self rescue are not suited for that. If it's loose in your vehicle it becomes a projectile in an accident and won't be where you left it. Very few that I have seen are marketed/made in a way that allows for the ability to secure it somewhere that will be easy to get to in an accident. The one in this kit is a rescue version and it being in the box in the back is fine because it's for when you are the first person on an accident scene. I would also add in the case of self rescue the glass breaker needs to be spring loaded as you just went through an accident and may not have the ability to get a good swing in either from space restriction or injury.
1. It uses only the momemtum of a high speed rotating mass instead of motor torque. That 's the same principle used when you swing a hammer. 2. The jack is supposed to be oriented parallel with the car with the light pointing at the tire. 3. It pays to RTFM.
Demo vids don't show the light pointing at the tire, though. That would require you to put your hand in between the jack and the car frame, which is not a good idea.
something internal spins, builds momentum, strikes something else which turns the nut. in theory, it works like a normal impact wrench. Since this thing runs on 12v dc, it takes a little more for it to spin up to make that striking power.
The white gloves are cut resistant kevlar gloves. If you have to change a flat due to a road hazard they area there so you don't cut yourself on whatever punctured your tire or the damaged rim of the wheel.
The impact actually seems like a decent idea. Builds up a bunch of torque and since its a second or two between twists instead of repeatedly like normal the chances of stripping should be reduced
I work a roadside assistance job and I'm honestly surprised at the performance of this i might have to pick a few up and give em as gifts for the holidays
I haven’t opened it up yet but I ordered the eco flow and used your code and got an amazing deal as there was an additional coupon and they allowed yours to be stacked. Annnd I got a free camping light which I did open and is actually really nice. Hopefully it works cuz I wasted some money on another brand portable power station and it’s a useless brick now that I can’t even return. Glad I could support you and hopefully get a product I need that actually works lol. I use it in my travel trailer when we’re not at a campsite.
Engine star is the name of the overly priced brick I bought so don’t buy that one. Lol. Price wise the eco flow was reasonable compared to like a jackery which for my purposes I don’t need anything that crazy.
Harbor Freight used to sell a similar impact. It seems like a great tool for roadside tire changes. The electric jack looks good, however I have two concerns. It seems pretty tall, I wonder if it would still fit under a smaller car if the tire was completely flat. I noticed in the video the tire was fully inflated. Second, with the switch for the jack on top of the unit, it seems like a possible pinch point when lowering the vehicle.
First thing great video. Second the torque should be at least 90psi for those lug nuts but not greater than 100psi. The gun if memory serves should output at least 180. It wasn't that model but I did see someone do a torque test on one.
Never seen anything like this, it's kinda admirable just how many features they crammed into something so cheap. Wasn't expecting a pneumatic jack! Would love to see someone test the loosening torque of that strange little impact as well, can't deny I'm impressed.
If the alternator is not also faulty, leaving the engine running, only slightly dangerous, would provide plenty of power. Or in a BEV, there should be no issue at all if the car is designed right and you're not almost out of electrons.
This would have been perfect when I was growing up with my mom. Her and I both know how to change a tire but I remember when I was like 15 for whatever reason her tire was flat but we didn’t have the strength to loosen the lug nuts so I missed work and we had to wait for someone else to change the tire. Just kinda sucks being a lone female and not being able to do something relatively simple yourself and on top of that had we not already been home it could have been dangerous and way more of an inconvenience. We also didn’t have much money. So the wrench alone could make all the difference for someone out there.
A short length of pipe that can slide over the handle of the wrench that comes with your car. An extra foot of leverage will make the nuts come off fairly easily.
@@ThePinkPanth3r Years ago, a garage put mine on so tight a 5 foot pipe barely took them off, good thing I was in my driveway. Was surprised I didn't snap a bolt.
@G Nic don't ever buy a ford superduty for some reason those lug nuts tighten themselves I fought for 4 hours with a 4ft breaker bar on the side of the road to get that tire changed I kept a impact with me but actually ran the battery dead on the first 2 of 8 lug nuts
Yeah but that’s just not something most females are going to think to have with their tire changing supplies lol. I was just noting something I thought lol. Moms car at the time was an Altima. Like an 01 or 03 or something. It was still going strong with my nephew until a couple of years ago. I was 15 so like 18 years ago. I’ve literally never had blown tire since. (Knock on wood). Haha. My car is an 2019 Jeep Compass. It didn’t even come with a spare just a compressor with fix a flat in it lol.
Nobody is talking about the jack that came with it. I thought for sure it would lift the car up a little then crash down but it actually held up well. Pretty impressive
Honestly impressed with that kit. Might need to find one for the wifes fiesta. Looks super easy to use and a lot less effort than having to use a scissor jack and a four way
I knew the space gun would work. I bought a "impact" with same thing accidentally and it really suprised me how easily it takes off lug nuts and bolts. I don't really use it bc it works off 230v so not that usable on road but fun thing to have.
A rubber string puncture repair kit ,will save money, a compressor is convenient, scissor jack supplied with car. I prefer a spider wrench , a long wrench easy to store but a loose socket somewhere in the car at night in the rain. If they made that kit fit inside a spare wheel then maybe , but otherwise it's a Christmas gift for someone you don't particularly like.
I don’t know why people look down on the Spin Up impact driver . I have one in 1999 from harbor freight. It work taking off the tire lug nut. It take a while to spin up and then impact . It enable anyone without a cheater bar to take off lug nut during emergency. In fact I still have it the Old Spin up Impact Lug nut wrench from harbor freight. It was $19.99 on sale back then
I have one, i recommend it. My car comes with that stupid scissor jack that you have connect pieces to twist it and one time in the rain with a flat i was super pissed and looked for something more convenient. Found it on amazon also saw a few youtube vids. Thank fully haven't had to use it yet but it will definitely be a time saver if i need to.
a tire iron(likely already comes with the vehicle), a steel pipe (for more leverage with the tire iron), and a small sledge hammer (to knock to tire unstuck) costs a lot less than $150
That thing is flat-out mind blowing for size and being electric. Hope the Co. that manufactures it has watched this video with pride. Very impressive tool.
I think the glass-breaker/seatbelt-cutter is just a bonus item to keep in your center console or glove compartment. I don't think they intend on you keeping it in the case.
Question.. Can this jack be used to change tires regularly or is this only for emergencies (IE: 1 tire once a year). Just want to know how durable it is to do regular tire changes (4 tires 2 x a year etc). Also, is there a way to fill it up with hydraulic fluid if the fluid leaks? Can it even leak?
The impact gun makes sense. Most people don't have industrial impact guns in their car, nor an air compressor. But it makes due with 12v power. Kinda cool. A breaker bar is still cheaper though
That flywheel rocker arm style impact is quite powerful. Up and over 300ft lbs. Its a massive flywheel inside thats why it spins up so slow but the delivers a devastating blow.
I'd like to try that thing on my dad's Western Star. I bet we could destroy it pretty quick lol. We've never even measured the torque. It's just like, "Tighten until just before you have an aneurism" - using like 8 ft long cheater pipes and such. My dad never believed much in battery/electric impacts - he's always been partial to air impacts and kind of laughed at battery stuff. But we got a battery Makita impact for doing stuff out in the log woods where air's not readily available (aside from his truck) and it's held up pretty good. I've never seen an impact that builds up like that one but yeah, it looked like it did surprisingly well.
That impact is really interesting, it looks like it's using momentum to overcome the lack of amperage through the 12 volt socket, you definitely need to take it apart and see how it works
The reason the 150 ft lb didn't click is it never reached 150. The stud was either twisting or stretching. Had you kept trying the stud would break (most likely) or stripped.
The reason for the impact working like it is because of the inertia for it revving up and hitting it all at ones is useful and can ba made cheaper then a ok quality impact using a hammer mechanism
The best part of the video is the fact the Killer Klowns from outer space gun not only turns ppl into cotton candy cocoons, but it doubles as a lug nut removal tool. 🔥

I mean, for what it is, I'd say it's probably worth it if you're going to do a lot of traveling. Otherwise, just throw your car at your insurance and AAA.
@@point-five-oh6249 you might be surprised how few modern cars an suvs come with a spare tire anymore its kinda astounding to me lol alot now just have a bottle of slime/fix a flat , plastic air comprosser an maybe tire plugs
11:56 and dude that was pretty good….much better than using the tool that comes with the car. And the design of it is actually really smart. It does not strip the bolts, so it does small ounces of power and then it goes right for it. I really like this box. I’m gonna get one myself.
I was impressed the jack worked. I was also curious if it tighten as good.
It left me with the impression it doesn't. It only takes the nuts off for you. I imagine to simplify the design.
Edit:
It's does have a tighten button.
Even if it doesn’t, it’s enough to get you to a service station.
That's cool. Though you do not raise the tire off the ground to loosen tires. The friction against the ground keeps the wheel from rotating while loosening.
Not necessary when using an impact wrench or space gun.
I wonder how many cycles that "impact" could hold up to. Also I feel like that last stud started to stretch... might want to replace those studs!
amen on replacing that stud
Always carry spares, they're inexpensive and you won't be changing your tyres on a regular basis as these are not meant for industrial use so I'd say they will last you a long time.
I've got a kit like this but looks a little different, I've had it for 3 years now, works great. I'm glad mine doesn't have the flashing red/blue lights, there is a tiny LED just in front of the jack shaft, its for eliminating under the vehicle. The velcro is to stop it from sliding around in the boot of the car.
Realistically 90% of the glass breaker and seatbelt cutters sold as self rescue are not suited for that. If it's loose in your vehicle it becomes a projectile in an accident and won't be where you left it. Very few that I have seen are marketed/made in a way that allows for the ability to secure it somewhere that will be easy to get to in an accident. The one in this kit is a rescue version and it being in the box in the back is fine because it's for when you are the first person on an accident scene. I would also add in the case of self rescue the glass breaker needs to be spring loaded as you just went through an accident and may not have the ability to get a good swing in either from space restriction or injury.
Spring loaded center punch is better than all those "glass breakers".
You can aim the light at the tire you are changing, Tyler. You control which way it is facing
Not if you are using the jack tho. The light would shine directly underneath the car since the light is attached to the jack
The Velcro is to store it in your car face down, it won't slide. I been thinking about picking one of these up I've heard good things about them.
11:40 wooo did not think it would be that good congrats.............
1. It uses only the momemtum of a high speed rotating mass instead of motor torque. That 's the same principle used when you swing a hammer. 2. The jack is supposed to be oriented parallel with the car with the light pointing at the tire. 3. It pays to RTFM.
Demo vids don't show the light pointing at the tire, though. That would require you to put your hand in between the jack and the car frame, which is not a good idea.
something internal spins, builds momentum, strikes something else which turns the nut. in theory, it works like a normal impact wrench.
Since this thing runs on 12v dc, it takes a little more for it to spin up to make that striking power.
The white gloves are cut resistant kevlar gloves. If you have to change a flat due to a road hazard they area there so you don't cut yourself on whatever punctured your tire or the damaged rim of the wheel.
I think that the Torque Test Channel needs to see what kind of beans are in that space impact!!!
The impact actually seems like a decent idea. Builds up a bunch of torque and since its a second or two between twists instead of repeatedly like normal the chances of stripping should be reduced
This guy is amazing! He says what we would all think, but never say out loud in public. I buy everything he recommends.
0:52 ohh yeah white gloves are perfect for super clean work like changing a tire lmao ahahahahhah
I work a roadside assistance job and I'm honestly surprised at the performance of this i might have to pick a few up and give em as gifts for the holidays
Can I get put on your holiday gift list?
@@munkustrap2 I'll see what Santa says
That's just using old tech because it's cheaper to make. What used to work still works. I like how they cased it like a thirst zapper from Fallout.
Been a tech for 12 years, never seen a 23mm in the wild.
Cool little tool. Did way more than I anticipated.
I haven’t opened it up yet but I ordered the eco flow and used your code and got an amazing deal as there was an additional coupon and they allowed yours to be stacked. Annnd I got a free camping light which I did open and is actually really nice. Hopefully it works cuz I wasted some money on another brand portable power station and it’s a useless brick now that I can’t even return. Glad I could support you and hopefully get a product I need that actually works lol. I use it in my travel trailer when we’re not at a campsite.
Engine star is the name of the overly priced brick I bought so don’t buy that one. Lol. Price wise the eco flow was reasonable compared to like a jackery which for my purposes I don’t need anything that crazy.
just buy a long pipe and stick it over the jack to give yourself more leverage.
@@courier665 you going to put your long pipe in his eco flow while he is jackerying?
Harbor Freight used to sell a similar impact. It seems like a great tool for roadside tire changes.
The electric jack looks good, however I have two concerns. It seems pretty tall, I wonder if it would still fit under a smaller car if the tire was completely flat. I noticed in the video the tire was fully inflated.
Second, with the switch for the jack on top of the unit, it seems like a possible pinch point when lowering the vehicle.
Not only did it look like a space gun but it almost sounded like one. Now you need to send it to torque test channel to see how many beans it has
First thing great video. Second the torque should be at least 90psi for those lug nuts but not greater than 100psi. The gun if memory serves should output at least 180. It wasn't that model but I did see someone do a torque test on one.
Never underestimate the power of the ray gun....
Haha that's a little blast from the past 🤣 thanks for that! Ray gun and thunder gun!
Never seen anything like this, it's kinda admirable just how many features they crammed into something so cheap. Wasn't expecting a pneumatic jack!
Would love to see someone test the loosening torque of that strange little impact as well, can't deny I'm impressed.
You’re killing it with these daily uploads man, loving it
Daily?? Am I missing summat?
@@hayleycopeman i guess he is blind or so
DAILY?
Where did you get daily from??
Daily? He comes out with one video every Saturday and sometimes a mid week upload.
I have a Impact that plugs hooks up the same way. It works pretty good as long as the jerks at shop don't over tighten the lugs with a air Impact.
I'd like to see how the cars own power handled the tools. Running those tools off the cars battery could be a completely different experience.
No, it was only pulling a few amps, so it should be no problem. You can tell by the thin cord that it can't pull a lot of current.
If the alternator is not also faulty, leaving the engine running, only slightly dangerous, would provide plenty of power. Or in a BEV, there should be no issue at all if the car is designed right and you're not almost out of electrons.
I let out an audible "Wow" after seeing that impact Lazer gun in action. Bravo
You can see how much dead pixels Tyler's camera has when he shut off the lights to test the flashlight function on the jack, interesting.
17:24 the Velcro is good cause of the carpet inside the back prevents it from juggling around
This would have been perfect when I was growing up with my mom. Her and I both know how to change a tire but I remember when I was like 15 for whatever reason her tire was flat but we didn’t have the strength to loosen the lug nuts so I missed work and we had to wait for someone else to change the tire. Just kinda sucks being a lone female and not being able to do something relatively simple yourself and on top of that had we not already been home it could have been dangerous and way more of an inconvenience. We also didn’t have much money. So the wrench alone could make all the difference for someone out there.
Thats a good point, lots of tire/garages over torque the lugs, having something to break them free is a life saver.
A short length of pipe that can slide over the handle of the wrench that comes with your car. An extra foot of leverage will make the nuts come off fairly easily.
@@ThePinkPanth3r Years ago, a garage put mine on so tight a 5 foot pipe barely took them off, good thing I was in my driveway. Was surprised I didn't snap a bolt.
@G Nic don't ever buy a ford superduty for some reason those lug nuts tighten themselves I fought for 4 hours with a 4ft breaker bar on the side of the road to get that tire changed I kept a impact with me but actually ran the battery dead on the first 2 of 8 lug nuts
Yeah but that’s just not something most females are going to think to have with their tire changing supplies lol. I was just noting something I thought lol. Moms car at the time was an Altima. Like an 01 or 03 or something. It was still going strong with my nephew until a couple of years ago. I was 15 so like 18 years ago. I’ve literally never had blown tire since. (Knock on wood). Haha. My car is an 2019 Jeep Compass. It didn’t even come with a spare just a compressor with fix a flat in it lol.
FYI the White Gloves might be because White linen or cotton ect. Would be Cheaper instead of like Black or Brown the Fabric that is.
Please test glue on glass. I have never seen another person do this test.
Very impressive for 80 bucks. The jack surprised me the most.
That impact driver looks like the Thirst Zapper from Fallout 4 Nuka-world DLC
Yeah that or the alien blaster
Nobody is talking about the jack that came with it. I thought for sure it would lift the car up a little then crash down but it actually held up well. Pretty impressive
The ray gun did a great job unscrewing the nuts but how well does it do at tightening them?
Wassup here within 35 seconds😊
Honestly impressed with that kit. Might need to find one for the wifes fiesta. Looks super easy to use and a lot less effort than having to use a scissor jack and a four way
As a woman I highly recommend you get it for her, but not as a birthday/holiday gift. I wish I could afford the price tag.
1:44 That was a nice throw.
I knew the space gun would work. I bought a "impact" with same thing accidentally and it really suprised me how easily it takes off lug nuts and bolts. I don't really use it bc it works off 230v so not that usable on road but fun thing to have.
This would definitely work in a pinch especially from some of the people who don't know how to change tires this is good
Those are some hamburger helper ass gloves
A rubber string puncture repair kit ,will save money, a compressor is convenient, scissor jack supplied with car. I prefer a spider wrench , a long wrench easy to store but a loose socket somewhere in the car at night in the rain.
If they made that kit fit inside a spare wheel then maybe , but otherwise it's a Christmas gift for someone you don't particularly like.
I might have to buy one. Tyler, you're a hell of a salesperson.
I don’t know why people look down on the Spin Up impact driver .
I have one in 1999 from harbor freight.
It work taking off the tire lug nut. It take a while to spin up and then impact .
It enable anyone without a cheater bar to take off lug nut during emergency.
In fact I still have it the Old Spin up Impact Lug nut wrench from harbor freight.
It was $19.99 on sale back then
loving all the car testing
Everyone’s talking about the gun. I’m shook over the electrical floor jack. Now that’s legit af!!!
I have one, i recommend it. My car comes with that stupid scissor jack that you have connect pieces to twist it and one time in the rain with a flat i was super pissed and looked for something more convenient. Found it on amazon also saw a few youtube vids. Thank fully haven't had to use it yet but it will definitely be a time saver if i need to.
I’m honestly impressed by that little impact
No dude, you see. The secret is. You take it out of the case, and put it somewhere more convenient......... WHOAH HOLY SHIT MIND BLOWN!!!
a tire iron(likely already comes with the vehicle), a steel pipe (for more leverage with the tire iron), and a small sledge hammer (to knock to tire unstuck) costs a lot less than $150
11:55 Hmmmm, oook! Not bad. I figured the same, but thats not to shabby.
That thing is flat-out mind blowing for size and being electric. Hope the Co. that manufactures it has watched this video with pride. Very impressive tool.
Oh man...i really needed that laugh...when you pulled out that ray gun i almost split my gut hahaah
I think the glass-breaker/seatbelt-cutter is just a bonus item to keep in your center console or glove compartment. I don't think they intend on you keeping it in the case.
Question.. Can this jack be used to change tires regularly or is this only for emergencies (IE: 1 tire once a year). Just want to know how durable it is to do regular tire changes (4 tires 2 x a year etc). Also, is there a way to fill it up with hydraulic fluid if the fluid leaks? Can it even leak?
The impact gun makes sense. Most people don't have industrial impact guns in their car, nor an air compressor. But it makes due with 12v power. Kinda cool. A breaker bar is still cheaper though
How tight will it make the lugs . Yoy should have tightened them and tried removing them with the torque wrench starting at 50 or 60
That flywheel rocker arm style impact is quite powerful. Up and over 300ft lbs. Its a massive flywheel inside thats why it spins up so slow but the delivers a devastating blow.
The Velcro is so it doesn't slide around in the back of the car or suv. It will help hold it to the carpet
Looks like a descent product. Did you try a complete flat tire to see if the jack would totally fit under the car? Thanks! 🙂
If you think it through, it's actually pretty smart that "impact" gun, it generates enough torque to just loosen them. Bang by bang
I'd like to try that thing on my dad's Western Star. I bet we could destroy it pretty quick lol. We've never even measured the torque. It's just like, "Tighten until just before you have an aneurism" - using like 8 ft long cheater pipes and such. My dad never believed much in battery/electric impacts - he's always been partial to air impacts and kind of laughed at battery stuff. But we got a battery Makita impact for doing stuff out in the log woods where air's not readily available (aside from his truck) and it's held up pretty good. I've never seen an impact that builds up like that one but yeah, it looked like it did surprisingly well.
That impact is really interesting, it looks like it's using momentum to overcome the lack of amperage through the 12 volt socket, you definitely need to take it apart and see how it works
The rescue tool could be handy for heaping someone else, oh and those gloves are amazing.
The reason the 150 ft lb didn't click is it never reached 150. The stud was either twisting or stretching. Had you kept trying the stud would break (most likely) or stripped.
The reason for the impact working like it is because of the inertia for it revving up and hitting it all at ones is useful and can ba made cheaper then a ok quality impact using a hammer mechanism
1:44 Have you ever seen a more graceful YEET! :P
The best part of the video is the fact the Killer Klowns from outer space gun not only turns ppl into cotton candy cocoons, but it doubles as a lug nut removal tool. 🔥
6:42 Watching Tyler struggle with anything he touches. lmao xD
Just got this kit in today and looking forward to testing it out!
Omg I was so anxious watching you torque them down lmao “please don’t snap!”
It's always funny seeing Tyler eat his words and be amazed
Tool professionally engineered to remove lug nuts works. Man impressed. News at 10.
Notice Tyler only measured from the base of the shaft. Although 13 inches is a good size shaft. We normally measure Jack from ground up
