Although I have one that has held up for almost ten years, it simply doesn't have the grunt for a primary or the tires on my F350. I have a 'Husky' that I got at Home Depot for around $150 (IIRC) that does a great job. I think it's rated at 500 ft-lbs. Also, remember to keep it lubed properly. At your use rate, a decent impact wrench should last virtually forever. _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
