    Hmmmm,

    I lost faith and found a 1/2 price deal at Canadian Tire for a 240 ft/lb CORDED. Thing only cost $70 so I don't mind the cord

    And it does remove lug nuts!

    When I worked at jaguar 3 or 4 techs bought new air tools from the snap on merchant. I think they spent like $1,000 for "silent" air tools. They were about as silent as my car.

    I give up on the quest for electric impacts to remove lug nuts. thats about all id use it for so either bustin a nut manually or air aided it isnt worth the investment to me.

    I just got my one from Harborfreight.
    Bought by a friend in USA, shipped cheapest way by seaparcel on Nov. 8.2006 and arrived some days ago in Japan
    http://8810.teacup.com/750hiline/img/bbs/0000572.jpg
    It has US spec 120V 60 Hz, here we have 100V 50 Hz in this area, we have another area where we have 100V 60 Hz.
    Reason is that when electricity was introduced in Japan, one power station was from Europe and the other one from USA.
    That is why all Japanese electric works on 50 and 60 Hz.
    Let's see how it works, I knew that it would not fit 100% the local condition, but at that price I give it a try.

    since I dont work on cars outside of my garage much. At the end it was cheaper to get a air compressor and air impact than to find a good electric or coreless impact.

    the opening video for the snap on is simultaneously the most fruity and the most awesome commercial i've seen for a professional business on the internet in a while. personally, i like my Binford 6100 cordless impact wrench, though they haven't made them since 1999.

    Default Yep, I thought the same, I

    What do the good folks from Kenosha charge for it?
