- Welcome to FJ Cruisin' a show about going on adventure, gear and tool reviews, DIY's and How To's.
In todays episode we are confronted with a stuck axle nut which is preventing us from doing a CV axle replacement on the FJ Cruiser. Roman tried a breaker bar and pipe for extra leverage, but to no avail, the breaker bar broke! That axle nut was stuck good, in a bad way! He needed more power so he invested in an electric impact wrench, but not just any impact wrench, the Bauer Heavy Duty Electric Impact Wrench from Harbor Freight. Will this Bargain Hammer save the day?
Nothing irritates Me more than trigger tapping on a impact! Just friggin send it!!
LOL thats funny..,, i was thinking the same thing watching,,, wouldve came off the first 5 seconds or less if he jus went for it.
The torque actually builds as you leave it on. He’s not using even half of the power of his machine.
Yeah I agree he was just playing with too much with that trigger
Giver hell taco bell !
Never seen someone baby an impact wrench before.
You need to just hold the trigger down to give it time to build up torque. Stop babying the tool, just hammer away at that bolt.
I had broke 2 of my neighbors breaker bars trying to remove that nut…. I didn’t have the funds for a mechanic … after the second day bought that 1/2 impact and successfully came off 🙏🏽 then spend 5 more hours trying to remove and install the new axle 🤣
You learn something new every day
Got mine on sale for $60, hate how big n heavy it is but love that its corded, never have to fuq with batteries
Having the exact same issue, thank you for the video!! Keep it up buddy!
It seemed to me that you had never used a impact wrench before. You don't press the trigger for just a couple of seconds then let go, you should continue to press the trigger so that the hammer got a chance to knock the nut loose. I used the same impact wrench to loosen the 36mm axle nut on my Jeep Grand Cherokee and it only took about three or four seconds of hammering,
I don't beat the shit out of my nuts and sockets
Dude, you hold the trigger until it breaks lose.
I would of gotten that lose in less than a second. With cordless impact wrench.
Yeah I thought I'd give it a couple of break in punches since it was new 😁
The threads looked good. Should’ve gunned it til it broke loose. Next time try it on rusted bolts. Real world test.
Gotta hold the impact button on that nut until you get oxygen bubbles in your blood on your hand
Stick a screwdriver in the slots on the edge of your rotor up against the caliper. It will keep it from turning.
that was very painful to watch
I got by mail it's grandpa Chicago Electric 1/2 inch drive when stationed at Subic Bay/ Cubi point to use on my Shovelhead. I got it in 1990 and it still works.
I snapped 2 craftsman breakers bars my passengers axle nut came off easy the driver side not budging I might have to go comp of these
Thanks for the review.
I had that tool. It didn't work on a crankshaft pully bolt. I hated the forward and reverse trigger. It might have worked if I hadn't been using an adapter extension. I ended up getting the Milwaukee M18 Impact wrench and a Milwaukee deep impact socket set. Mine is cordless which i like better than corded. Now I'll never know if that Bauer could have done the job. Oh well.
Can't go wrong with a Milwaukee 👍.
I'm here because mine won't crack a crank bolt on a Yamaha v8 engine in a Volvo.
Don't lose any sleep over it. 😆
This is far from their best impact, either. The Hercules compact 1/2 is better, and the Earthquake XT 1/2 has comparable performance to the M18 fuel and has a 5.0AH 20V battery included.
Victory I'm using C4 on mine.
It removed my Honda crank bolt in 4 seconds
You have to hold the trigger lol. Tapping the trigger isnt doing much. The tool needs to build up torque.
Bauer Powa!
Cool
Use a dedicated 20 amp circuit to make it work correctly. If you use a extension cord use a 12 gauge cord to carry the amps. And for gods sakes… hold the trigger down.
Those are some great tips! Thank you for sharing.
Is it to big for brake or suspension job? Does it fit in there since it’s length isnlong
It's a pretty large and bulky drill so in some cases a smaller more compact air hammer might be better for the job, depends what you're working on, but if you've got enough space this thing is powerful enough to get the job done.
Dude has absolutely NO idea what he’s doing here 😂
Use thick walled socket
think of like a machine gun instead of a shotgun
Next time just give her a full send
Is this guy serious.wow
I took that shii off with my Makita impact
Put a screwdriver into the middle portion of the brake disc through the brake caliper and then just hold the trigger of the impact. The axle won’t rotate and the nut will come right off. The Bauer has lots of torque.
mine stopped working
Bummer, take it back to the store, maybe they'll replace it for ya?
Take it back you dont know how to use that
It sucks that so many people had to dog pile you about tapping on the trigger!! You got it eventually and you know for next time to really lay it on. People can suck.
Thanks, yeah it's pretty much expected as part of the world wide feedback loop, whataya gonna do, keep doing I say! Cheers
I think he might have succeeded if he just soaked it with some WD-40 and let it sit a while.😏
When you don’t work with tools smh 🤦♂️ send it
So this is how millenials use tools.. 😂
