<p>[QUOTE="Goodysnap, post: 11944648, member: 200878"]Don't ever trust an impact to be able to tighten a fastener to a given spec. Especially a battery powered one. You will also find the torque on the box never meets the actual torque actually applied to the fastener. These battery powered tools are handy as hell, but remember as the battery drains to the lower levels the torque falls off. Pneumatic air tools offer much more consistent torque vs battery power, plus they are quieter. Also follow up with hand tools or a torque wrench to recheck. </p><p><br /></p><p>For a cordless impact to get a spare changed out on the side of the road, it for sure is the best pick out there I agree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
