Reminds me of why I dont like stainless anything except maybe the pull
ties for towers.
We use the anti-seize goo specifically for stainless bolts when
deploying out doors.
Makes nice when you go back 10yrs later and have to remove that stuff.

I think what I have is the DCF886B, the specs say 125 ft-lbs. Both
probably have their place. The impact driver uses smaller impacts at
a higher rate.
I will tell you the 20V lithium ion batteries are awesome. Basically
you buy whatever tools you already have batteries for. Unless they
are Ni-Cd in which case I’d switch to Li ion.
By sector bolts are you talking about ~13mm size, or are these more
like 3/4 or 7/8” on pipe-pipe clamps? If they are big suckers, you
might want to bring a cordless sawzall as well.

My air powered impact wrench is supposed to deliver 240 ft-lbs of
torque at 100psi. I just looked at a 20v DeWalt (DCF889M2) that said
"400 ft lbs maximum torque" in the specs.
...but maybe it's a matter of how creative they are at measuring torque.
Are you looking for an actual impact wrench like an auto mechanic
would use? Or an impact driver? We use a DeWalt 20V impact driver
for driving lags at installs, it’s a very useful tool. But if you
are doing the equivalent of lug nuts or rusted exhaust clamps, you
would need something huskier.

Any suggestions on something you have had good success with? We are
retrofitting a lot of towers and some of the sector bolts are pretty
stuck. Yes, we can cut them off, but we are hoping that there is a
more “elogent solution” to QUICKLY get the bolts off. Even if with
an impact wrench, they break, then it still solves the problem.
What do you think guys?
