I'm getting this: 17-Pc. 1/2" Impact Wrench Kit - Metric [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]
Good price too! Once I get it I can help people install exhaust systems and camber kits. Easy stuff with this thing.

air tools are by far one of my best investments .. sure they are expensive, but can you put a price on not being able to do something? what did you get for a compressor?[hr]

Dewd! PB Blaster is the best stuff in the world! That stuff can get in there and loosen ANY rusted on or stuck on nuts and bolts!
I keep at least 2 cans on supply when doing any auto work........

Rep Power: 0 no doubt. i love how the can says that if you spray like an ounce of it into a styrofoam cup that it will EAT the cup within 2 minutes =)
but between pb blaster, a 5lb sledge, and an acetalyne torch, there isn't much that can't be taken off =)

Rep Power: 0 that's pretty sweet. i would suggest also getting a set of deep impact sockets, they come in very handy, along with a universal joint so you can get in the hard to reach spots and not round off any of the bolts.
is that an inline filter, or the other half of the quick disconnect?

Rep Power: 419 Actually, I'm not 100% sure. I think you put oil in it and then you attach it to the compressor and squeeze the trigger a few times to oil the impact wrench. There's a small plastic bottle of machine oil under the impact wrench in the picture. See it? I think that's what you do? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 413 It's an in-line oil filter for it to lube the internals. It's great to use every now and then, but not always.....
Deep sockets are nice, but impact deep sockets are pretty expensive. On a side note too, I would avoid using a universal with it since you won't get nearly as much torque transfered as you would w/out one. Though sometimes you have to use one......
