[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 371907, member: 7544"] I'll take that as a no. While I can't be certain about the rating of my older B&D 110v impact, I can see that current model electrics (both AC and DC) are generally rated at 350+ lbs of tightening torque. The recommended torque for the 12mm studs of the pre 2000 model F150 is 100 ft lbs. I think my electric impact is adequate. I'm not sure why, but a lot of people seem to think you have to jump on the end of a cheater bar with your full body weight to tighten lug nuts and get them to stay on. It doesn't take a baby silverback to tighten a lug nut. Recommended torque ranges from 65 ish for small cars to 160 for a 1 ton super duty truck. But when you get right down to it, if you're not using a torque wrench, then you're doing it wrong. FYI, I've never used a torque wrench on a lug nut in my life and I've also never had one come off in my life. https://www.discounttire.com/infoCenter/infoWheelTorque.html#ford2 [/QUOTE]
