<VV> New tool in use on Vair

[Sethracer at aol.com]

It isn’t very often that I run into a new tool that is versatile and  cheap. 
A few weeks ago I picked up a 14.4V battery powered Impact Wrench. It is  made 
by Nikota. I bought it on sale at a Kragens store. Okay, I admit a nice  
Makita or Milwaukee 18 or 24 volt model would have been  better, but this one was 
$40 plus tax. It won’t be breaking loose many of the  lug nuts on my race car 
(100 ft lbs), although it works so well to install  them, that I can just 
bring out the torque wrench after “Impact-ing” them down.  It is much, much 
lighter than the higher voltage units. Last night, after  dropping out the front 
suspension on my (I hope) Portland car, I used the Light  Weight Impact to 
remove almost all the brakes, sway bar and mounts – almost  everything I needed to 
remove – and no bulky air hoses either. About all I  really need is a second 
Battery, like I have  for my drills, and I’ll be set. - Seth  Emerson
