Anyways, thanks for the Miami

(My only question is why did you show us the taking off of the bolts? Most uses for impact guns or hammer drivers is for putting bolts and nuts on to torque. Where these nuts/bolts seized?)

The fact is like Lojac said removing 8 lug nuts isnt precisely fun ..After removing all the wheels lug nuts by hand 2 month ago when I did the brakes I decide to get a little help ...
Removing the lug nuts is when you test the tool , putting these back is an easy job ..
The nuts weren't seized ,even yet to much work to remove it by hand
BTW I remove the tire cause I change the hub

My father uses the same drill to winch up his main sail on his 52 ft sailboat. Sucker has a lot of torque!

Remember - you get what you pay for.

Spend the little extra and buy a Rigid or Husky product. Lifetime warranty.

I stooped spending that little extra after most manufactures moved the factories out of the country ... Quality control is something out of our era

Wikipidia:" Husky hand tools were formerly manufactured exclusively in the United States[2] but are now largely made in China, Taiwan and USA per packaging at Home Depot retail locations "

BTW most harbor freight tools are Lifetime warranty too .

I will agree with Miami here.
Quality and pride in workmanship are all a dwindling concept when it comes to the competition of lower prices and mass marketing of the large "box" stores.

Basically stating that most things nowadays do not mean quality when you pay more. Just because it is more doesnt mean it is better, half the time you are just paying for a name. And sadly in a country that was growing, producing, and strong economically a few decades ago, if you try to find American made nowadays you in for one heck of a hunt (Thanks to Clinton and NAFTA, in case the masses forgot, which sent millions of jobs out of this country and closed down millions of middle and small businesses in the US of A). And in the wake of all that, to compensate we sold off America and the tax rights to foreign companies so we could build their products. Its comical, you want an American made car nowadays - you need to buy a Toyota, Nissan or Hyundai. '
I think we need to get back to a time where Americans produced, and Made In America stood for something (remember those pride campaigns in the 70s and early 80s?).

But People want lower cost nowadays with a hope for better made.
And if it isnt.... well they just take it back and exchange it out with the hope they will get a better one this time.

Anyways..... back to the point.....

I used to be a skeptic when it came to Harbor Freight until they opened a store near me, and starting off slowly I realized they were actually as good as or better then other brands.

I hate to rain on your parade but about 1% of Harbor Freight Tools are made in USA. Hell they have resorted to manufacturing in countries with even lower standerds of quality such as india.

There is a time and a place for Harbor Freight tools. Putting tires on any vehicle is not one of them. I can tell you from personal experience that the impact you buy from harbour freight will NOT torque those lug nuts tite enough to keep those wheels on. You need to hand torque your wheels with a torque wrench or get a real impact air/cordless that actuall has over 400 ft./lbs of WORKING torque with a torque stick to do the job right.

I can go on and on about why not to buy crap from Harbour Freight but im pretty sure everyone here knows why they should not spend there money their.

You get what you pay for in life and this could not be more true when it comes to tools.
