Excellent! Having a good driver option, air or electric, makes those never ending wheel swaps much zippier.

The best addition to this tool has been the flexible extension which lets me run down all sorts of fasteners in awkward places. This saves a lot of hand work.

I've got a milwaukee fuel m18 impact DRIVER and it can break almost any lug nut loose. The only issue is that the little adapters that allow you to put on sockets break.

If you're going to buy one of these 18v impact drivers, and choose Amazon to buy it from, use this 18v impact drivers link and it helps MVS. Thanks in advance.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

I still use the 2 impact drivers mentioned earlier. However, I had the case when some numb-nuts at Kia dealer used an impact driver on the boss's Kia Sportage. 350 ft/lb corded driver would not budge them. Out came the 3/4" x 48" long break-bar! Nuts should have only been 80 ft/lb MAX on that car!!

OK, for the record then: Still have never come across an axle nut or lug nut that my cheap HF corded impact did not break loose. Knock on wood.

I think I can say the same , but’s i don’t like rattling for more than a few seconds. Too loud. After about 6 seconds, I break out the 18 inch cheater and off they come, quietly.

Where do I get some of those Iowa front wheel bearings? My right front is going again...

FCP BABY!
