OK. Sorry if I read anything into this post that you didn't mean. I'm so used to people going after me for something I said I guess I go into attack mode automatically anymore. I do love my new Milwaukee 3/4" impact, and plan on carrying it with me on my trip. It just is not as powerful as some...

So now your going back years to try and discredit me Floridianson ? Well if you really read what I said, You need to look at post #8 . He was clearly referring to the Milwaukee #2763-22 1/2" impact wrench. So from then on I was referring to that 1/2" impact wrench. Then in post #18 "swbradley1"...

That's one way to keep your thoughts pure ! Just treat them all like your grandchildren.

LOL !!! I was just talking on the phone with my best friend tonight who I have known since high-school and we both went to mechanic trade school together. Has talking about a friends kid who came into his service station yesterday. She is a beautiful women now and at first he didn't recognize...

I forgot to mention something else the writer said in that debunker article. He said by using anti-seize you would be able to use "bad" lug nuts longer ! After thinking about that today I realized how full of it he was. If the nuts and thimbles can handle the torque then they are perfectly...

They actually forced me out ! Said I was to old and busted-up to work anymore ! What I think it really was is they can hire some young bucks for about half the pay and vacation time. Well at least that gives me more time to play with my toys !

The problems with that "Myth debunker" is one, he is just a fleet owner not a manufacturer and second it came out in 2006. Now in 2016 we have companies like "Merritor" saying to "use" anti-seize on the stud threads. At the transit agency I work at (or actually just retired from) we are told to...

On the deuce just remember " tighten to the front-loosen to the rear" . So on the drivers side you will tighten the nuts by going counter-clockwise or towards the front of the truck.

I use "Marine" grade anti-seize for all my nuts and bolts now. It doesn't wash off like the regular anti-seize does.

Then you never had a lug nut that took over 1000 ft Ibs to break free. I have had several do that. Nothing funny about that I can assure you. That is also why I have taken off all my lug nuts and cleaned the threads and reinstalled them all with "Anti-seize" . Also a standard 1" breaker bar is...

I just checked this "Ratchet Helper" out. It is only good for 500ft Ibs and made out of aluminum. You can not use an impact gun or even an electric gun on this unit, as it will not handle that kind of torque. I would stay away from any multiplier that is made from aluminum or cast-iron.

Remember those "Geared Lug Wrenches" are not that strong and are not for commercial use. I bought one when they first came out. Payed $150.00 for it ! Now you can buy them for $50.00 . I took mine apart to see how it was made and it is really cheap quality. It will do the job just be careful...

Well that changes everything, for one I don't own a 3/4" Milwaukee Impact wrench and two, I know they did increase it's output. Maybe later this year (Christmas ? ! ) I will be able to get one and try it out.

Are we all on the same page here ? I'm talking about the 1/2" drive Milwaukee M18 Impact tool. It is not capable of 1200 ft Ibs of torque.

I'm not being condescending. I'm just stating facts about this impact wrench. Since I also own one and know it's capabilities. I don't want anyone to think they can just go out and buy one and it will handle their deuces tires. And yes I'm a Heavy duty truck mechanic and have been for the last...

I talked with the store manager of the Harbor Freight near me just last week. I needed one of those lifting platforms. He mentioned that they got one of the main engineers from Ingersol Rand to come to work for them a few years ago and these new impact wrenches are the result of that. They also...

You must have replaced them before and lubed the studs. How many batteries did you go through ? Also after you installed the new tires you did check the torque with a proper torque wrench right ? And I'm betting they were no where near the proper torque.

This is the next tool I'm buying for the Deuce. http://www.ebay.com/itm/191239501520?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Now before I say anything else I just want you to know that I "LOVE" Milwaukee tools ! I have over 40 Milwaukee power tools ranging from my small 3/8" right angle drill to my 6" concrete drill/hammer. I have over 5 sawzalls ! From the all aluminum housing ones to the new 18Volt cordless Fuel...
