[Shop-talk] Impact wrenches (heavy duty)

[Scott Hall]

I agree with you, Mike--I am unfamiliar with the concept of 'too much
torque' in an impact wrench.

I suppose I'll sing a different tune when I snap a lug stud (or something
more important) but for now when I get out the impact, I want something
disassembled.

Plus, I've got old MAC 1/2" and 3/8" impacts for when I want to kitten-kiss
something off.
