- A word of warning: I used to work with a fellow back in the day, who used a 3/8" impact to remove spark plugs (from aluminum heads). In almost every case, the plug would come out of the hole spinning

- I have often thought that some of the nuts behind the wheel could use a good clout around the ears with something of the same heft as an impact wrench. However, I use mine exclusively for disassembly

- I agree with Randal but I also use impact guns to remove pulleys from generators and water pumps. I have an impact ratchet handle which is great for long threads and very handy when performing tasks

- In my case, never for installation, only for removal. Especially lug nuts, but also for rusted on components (with copious quantities of PBlaster etc.) I often wonder why they even have a clockwise s

- After inspection or tire shop visit on my everyday driver I need an impact wrench if I need to remove a wheel. They all use impact wrenches to put the wheels on. I have the DW290 DeWalt, works just f

- If they are not using a torque limiter to limit torque to manufacturer specs, then you need to either find another shop, or sue them. Overtorquing the lug nuts on a modern car is a serious problem,

- The shop I go to for my 72 TR6 is very nice in that they hand torque the lug nuts to specifications. All I did was ask and they said no problem. Craig Vienna, VA If they are not using a torque limite

- Interestingly enough, the Costco guys that do the tire changes and oil/lube on our everyday vehicles use a torque wrench when re-installing the wheels. Once upon a time, as soon as I got home after a
