Lug nuts.

I bought my Dewalt 1/2 to do my truck tires and was disappointed. Took 1 5ah battery to get 7/10 loose. 1440 breaking torque? My arse

Need the big 1" electric Milwaukee, or a proper 1" air impact off a 1/2" line. Truck compressor will run the big impact in a pinch but not well enough, imo

 

Does anyone know what this man said???

 

I have Milwaukee half inch can do all the drives on 1 battery. If I remember I use the standard socket and it worked fine.. since I don't have that size in metric.. I'd imagine trying to get lug nuts loose with just a bar you would have to be strong as a Silverback gorilla

 

Or as strong as 100 men.

 

You'll need to put some heat on them. Propane might do it. If not the big red hammer will get 'em loose. You could also take them to a nearby shop and have them bust them loose and put them back on no tighter than 500ftlbs.

Nut should be 33mm but it depends on their condition as to how well it fits and/or what other sizes might fit. When you reinstall them yourself put a couple drops of oil on the studs first. That will help prevent corrosion from locking them next time.

 

1” Milwaukee for the win!!! My 1/2” has worked in the past, but the 1” is much faster. Milwaukee has much more torque than Dewalt, and I know that for a fact, because me, and 2 of my other brothers have Milwaukee, one brother has Dewalt. There have been many shop contests over the years, but Dewalt never wins. Go figure

 

1-5/16" will work fine, bit that Dewalt ain't gonna. Yeah, ratings on some impacts are skewed.

They torque to 500ish, but very few actually torque them, and most are over 600 ft lbs.

A long 3/4 or 1" ratchet, 12" extension, and socket will do it. Long = 4' plus

 

DeWalt is crap. A 3/8” Milwaukee will easily outperform a 1/2” DeWalt, which won’t even budge car lug nuts torqued to 120ft/lbs.

 

I agree, get the nut hot, not the stud, and 1" drive impact is about the best bet. A breaker bar won't do it, the bar itself isn't strong enough, and even though we've all done it, put a longer pipe on the handle, it's not recommended. Years ago, wheels came off so often, the nuts never seized, but today, they can be on there for years. 1" drive, even the road crews use 1" drive.
