Which impact wrench?

It also shows that some of Makita’s claims may be bold to say the least….

I don't know, but even Google says a breaker bar can help to apply 3,400 Nm.

 

Even more with the right sized gorilla and a pipe extension on the end, we've all done it!.

My TW blade bolts are torqued to 170Nm.

 

These wheel nuts were nowhere near that, I could tell just by feel.

 

That Makita should have spun them off easily.

If you’re going to bust by hand, just do the rest by hand or with whatever drill you already have. My pneumatic impact wrench can only just get some of the van nuts off if the cylinder is brimmed. Usually end up breaking them with a bar first. I then only really use the windy gun because I like feeling all industrial. The point of a nut gun is not needing to fag around changing to other tools. I’d say it’s all or nothing on a comparatively small and infrequent task. Get a dildo if you just want to buy something. Milwaukee will do an M12 but you hang around with rugby players so look at Hilti. 

 

You’re probably right Alex.

 

If I’m going to chop around between tools I might as well just save £90 and get one of these instead and do half a job with that.

When I get new tiers at my local place they always spin the bolts/nuts back on with a windy then go round each one with a torkaporkawrencharoonyOdoony .

Because you'd never get them off with your tiny manufacturer supplier tyre tool if there overtightened.

 

Plus those timberwolf nuts looked like they had the slotted nut anti removal treatment.

When did they last see copper grease?

Maybe try doing them back up with a dab in, then breaking off with the impact.
