jorge52892 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Only used it one time for a castle nut on a buddy's side by side but that wasn't even a challenge for it on mode 2 on mode 1 I gotta say it feels pretty damn weakSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course your wheels need more than one hundred ft/lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Or you could bypass the whole torque wrench and invest in a twenty dollar torque limiting extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Or you could bypass the whole torque wrench and invest in a twenty dollar torque limiting extension. I've heard that those torque sticks only work with an air impact and not a cordless impact. I don't know if tgat is true or not though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if tgat is true or not though.That's the first time I've heard that. I looked it up and from what it sounds like is most electric impacts are too fast for most torque sticks so the torsion action of the stick can't respond quickly enough. Basically what it comes down to is that whether your impact is pnuematic or electric doesn't matter, you just have to be sure the stick is rated for the speed of your impact.

The trucks lug nuts require 130-150 ft lbs of torque if I remember correctly so mode one would get me close enough to it to finish off with a torque wrenchSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if tgat is true or not though.I wish you would have told me sooner. I already bought a set of torque sticks to use with my 2763. I used the 2763 & a 110 lb torque stick to adjust my HF click torque wrench. I thought using a torque stick to tighten a nut then adjusting my HF torque wrench to break the nut loose at the same pound setting would make the HF torque wrench fairly accurate. Now I'm going to have to break out the air impact and use it with the torque extension to see if it is at the same poundage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to overcome inertia to move the nut, so it will take more than 110 ft-lb to break it loose. You also shouldn't use a torque wrench as a breaker bar, as it were.

A more accurate hack way of doing it in the garage would be to set your torque wrench to 60 lbs or whatever and hang a dumbell from it that is 60 lbs. Let the weight of the dumbbell move the wrench instead of you. Still difficult to get right, but it would be closer than seeing what the breakaway torque is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to buy one but I can wait if it's coming out soon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk So apparently, yes, one is coming sometime, but all i've heard mention was the fact that the electrical terminals on the current impact wrench aren't spring absorbed to take the vibrations when the battery vibrates around a little. I guess the gen 2 model will address that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 @NicholasShetley ^^^ This is all I know right now. ^^ I got it from a gentleman in Canada over instagram, there are a lot of up to date tool stuff there!! LIKE THIS BAD BOY!!! YEAH BUDDY! But... it's about $700.00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
