I bought a 2017 Ram with a 5.7 Hemi about six months ago. I've tried to take advantage of the time this pandemic has given me to learn new things and took on modifying my truck as one of those projects. I am not a mechanically inclined person. My only experience with any type of vehicle work is changing tires and oil at a shop when I was in my early 20s (aka a long time ago). So far, I've installed a K&N cold air intake and a throttle body spacer, which I'm sure are extremely basic to a lot of the experts who watch this channel. Still, baby steps. Likely to move on to exhaust work next. Videos like this have been extremely helpful in explaining the tools I should choose in a given scenario. Thank you!

I would recommend that people get the right tool for the job. I have a makita impact driver that broke when trying to unfasten some nuts on a car's tire. I took it apart to see that some teeth of certain gears had snapped off, and were blocking the rotation. Removing the broken teeth made it work again, but it shows that the tool is strong enough to break itself with its own power. I imagine an impact wrench would have to be sturdier on the inside, so as to not break its own gears with the higher torque.

I'm going to offer a different final perspective. If you can only get one Impact tool,, get the small size Impact wrench with the Dentin Pin, and then get the Driver adapter bit. The reasoning is simple.. Bolts are usually bigger then screws, and usually require more torque. So if you need to turn a bolt, pull the adapter off. If you need to drive some screws,, put the adapter bit back on. The difference in weight between my wrench plus adapter, and the driver is not that much. But when I need that that socket head, i know its attached to a proper 3/8" wrench head, instead of a 3/8" adapter bit sitting inside a 1/4 inch socket adapter bit. I have the Dewalt DCF880B, and I do everything short of brushing my teeth with it.

Great video. I have been wondering about having too much torque when screwing into wood or using a self drilling screw into hard metal. I have had trouble with them in the past and have broken a screw head or two off before. So what you are saying is that Impact Wrench should be used for high torque bolts and nuts. Then a impact wrench would be better to drive torx or hex head screws into metal and of course wood. I don’t use these tools very often so it is okay if they take longer, I am just wanting not to ruin parts or threads. This is a casual or hobby activity for me. Thanks again for your videos.

Here’s a tip if you’re looking to save some money. Get a 3/8” impact wrench and buy a 3/8” to 1/4” hex adapter. You’ll get both tools in one. The key is to buy the higher powered of the 2 if you’re going to go the one tool route instead of buying both driver and wrench (the impact wrench is going to be more powerful than the driver, Atleast in most cases; check before you buy). With the 3/8” impact wrench and hex adapter you’ll have the power to do everything a 3/8” impact wrench can do and also have the versatility of a 1/4” hex impact driver.

The best way is to tighten the lug nut in low until it impacts a few times and then use a torque wrench to make sure you’re not over tightening it. Since most people don’t have a torque wrench on hand, you can use the impact wrench the same way, and then hand tighten the lugs with your tire iron. Most vehicles are only specced to have 80 - 125 ft-lbs of torque on the lugs, and even compact impact wrenches can do that. When you over tighten them, you can damage the threads, or sometimes even shear the entire stud off. Either way, that can cost a couple of hundred dollars per wheel to replace damaged studs.

@@Protoolreviews I finally got and used an impact wrench for the first to changed my tires. It definitely saved a lot of time. One thing I'm sort of nervous about when I loosen the nuts, I'm afraid that it may strip the lug nuts. Is that even possible? Thanks in advance!
