Next thing you know, someone will screw up the job.

Just so I'm on topic--I use an air-impact when doing stuff like this.
They work much better than electric, IMHO.


25+ years ago, I had a B&D 1/2" electric impact wrench that worked great
at driving lag screws or working on my vehicles. It was a bit larger
than an air tool but it seemed to be just as strong and I didn't have to
drag an air compressor around to use it. The new cordless impact tools
of all sizes are nothing short of amazing to me, especially those with
the newer Lithium-Ion battery technology. ^_^

I won't argue that point with you, I have worked some major miracles
with battery tools too... One thing I found was most demanding was high
power, short cycle use. That seemed to drain batteries very quickly.

Nice thing about air is that you have a source of power for your nail
guns too... g


Air works great with my pneumatic bumper jack too. Of course, if I want
to pick up something faster, I have my dry nitrogen cylinders which are
usually filed to 2000psi. I can set the regulator for around 600psi if
I remember right. I can run an air tool as fast as a NASCAR team member.
