That would be AWFULLY nice.

View Full Version : Does anyone make a battery powered butterfly impact wrench? nick325xit 5spd 12-14-2007, 05:48 PM That would be AWFULLY nice.

A catapiler with wings... yuk, yuk, yuk....\ But seriously, I'd like to know too. B.Watts 12-14-2007, 07:01 PM butterfly? is that from Seinfeld? seriously, what is it?

Batteries would have to be externally connected. I like air tools, but the Blue Point 3/8" cordless impact gun kit works wonders on things like valve covers, exhausts, etc. Small and lightweight too.

What about that fancy Snap-on cordless impact wrench of yours? B.Watts 12-14-2007, 08:55 PM What about that fancy Snap-on cordless impact wrench of yours? That's a 1/2" impact. pbonsalb 12-14-2007, 09:24 PM The 1/2 inch Snap On battery wrenches are nice, but expensive. You can also buy electric impact wrenches for $50 to $75. JS154 12-14-2007, 09:26 PM What about that fancy Snap-on cordless impact wrench of yours? Mine's been in good service for 5 years now - gears went once on the shaft? - still using original battery. I use a 1/2 - 3/8 reducer when I want to use it for smaller jobs, but it's come in handy for everything from changing axle half-shafts to upper strut bearing bolts. jpropane 12-15-2007, 12:03 AM We use the DeWalt 18V cordless impact at the track, It's perfect to change wheels. It has enough torque and can be used up until the battery is almost discharged. http://www.amazon.com/DeWALT-DW059K-2-18-Volt-Ni-Cad-Cordless/dp/B0001LQLE2/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1197691209&sr=1-2 We have been using it for 2 years and it's still going strong. They also now make a 36V version if you want to spend mega-dollars. nick325xit 5spd 12-17-2007, 10:53 AM We use the DeWalt 18V cordless impact at the track, It's perfect to change wheels.

More like something not *that* much more powerful than an air ratchet that can be used in all kinds of places. nick325xit 5spd 12-17-2007, 10:54 AM No way to get a powerful enough motor into the small case.

I guess what you're saying is that I need to get over it and buy a compressor. Sigh. |
