Default Impact Gun
Almost 20 years ago I gave my dad an electric impact gun for changing his tires.
Now he's to old to deal with it anymore so he pays to have it done. Well, a couple of months ago he gave the gun back to me saying he doesn't use it anymore.

I don't even put it back in it's case anymore. I just leave it on the shelf next to my spare batteries and when I need it I just clip the lead onto a battery and away I go. It will remove or install a flywheel nut while just holding the flywheel with your hand. No more strapping the flywheel and getting out the breaker bar or turning on the compressor and waiting for the pressure to build for just 1 nut.

I figured I would mention this, specially for the folks that don't have a compressor. Now a days they sell for about 30 bucks and mine is a real time saver for me.

I mostly use air, but I can agree with you about how easy things get with an impact.
My favorite is a 3/8 Snap-on Butterfly impact I bought at a garage sale for $50. Yeah, it was pricey, but it has saved me a ton of time! Once you get the feel, you don't need a torque wrench any more. For critical applications, use the torque wrench for reassembly.
I've worked with contractors that ran a 110VAC impact, and I was very impressed with how well they worked.
Thanks for sharing. I hope others buy an impact, electric or pneumatic, and get to like it.

Thanks for the tip on the electric one. I have an air one, but this might be nice for ease of use. You know, one can never have enough toys :biggrin2.gif:, I mean tools, yeah that is what I meant.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
