[QUOTE="paper, post: 371923, member: 8803"] I have a Harbor Freight 1/2" electric (corded) Impact and a buddy and I are set up to change our own tires, as well as rotate.. So of course we end up doing some for friends, too.. I didn't have a lot of high hopes for the HF Impact, but of the hundreds of lug nuts we've used it on, it failed only once in removing two lugs on the same wheel.. It wouldn't budge them, and we broke a 2' breaker bar on them.. The owner took the truck to a full service garage and the only thing that removed the two in question was a nut splitter. I paid $29 for the wrench and it came with an extra set of brushes.. We've used it at least monthly for 2 years without failure.. When installing lugs I run them up snug and then use a torque wrench for final tightening.. Chances are, the lugs that other wrenches are having trouble removing were severely over torqued to begin with.. :? [/QUOTE]
