I've had the same result with my IR 2135ti. It's also pretty lightweight fo=

My IR 2131 is maybe twenty years old now and still hasn't met the nut it wo=
n't turn.

I assume they still make its bigger brother if you need to, I don't know, f=
lip the truck over by torquing the axle.

I have heard excellent reviews of the Harbor Freight upscale line of torque=
 wrenches. I forget the name now but I'm tempted to buy one just to see if =
it's that good.

Ok,  I know this is a new religious topic here, but I'm looking for a tool =
recommendation.  Stay with me.


 So I ended up buying a new (to me) dump body F350 with a powerstroke diese=
l. It only had one owner, and was well maintained (he gave me every single =
record for it.)

So I am starting to do my "once over" before I put it in service.  One of t=
he thing is removing the wheels and checking the brakes.  Well, the mechani=
c that did this last had a really HD torque wrench.  I managed to eventuall=
y get every nut off, but it made it clear that I need a more powerfully imp=
act wrench.

So I come to the experts.  I'm looking for a heavy duty air impact wrench. =
 I prefer 1/2, but I'm willing to listen to any advice on moving up to 3/4.

I'm looking for a tool to use when my 'normal' impact can't handle to job, =
so it will not be used a ton.

Any ideas?  Price isn't much of a concern as it seems even the top end ones=
 aren't outrageous.  (Note- I'm not a Snap on junkie that likes over priced=
 brand names.)
