wingless Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Welcome to the forum. The impact driver is THE best tool to install / remove fasteners w/ little to no damage to the head. There is less utility for the impact driver on a car, as compared to a house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingless Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 YW, FWIW I never used my impact wrench, despite extensive automotive work, so I sold that tool. For automotive work I use a breaker bar when required, many different types of ratchet wrenches and a torque wrench during fastener replacement. The threads on many fasteners are protected w/ either grease or Loctite to aid in future removal. Short answer, no I would not also get an impact wrench.
