You've indicated in previous posts and on your website your use of, I
believe, a Dewalt DW293 electric impact wrench.. I don't want to go through the expense of buying a air compressor and tools for rotating tires on my vehicles.. Would the DW293 work for removing/tightening lugnuts on car wheels? Thanks, Rich |

Wheel nuts are pure trivia for it. I use mine all the time for removing wheel nuts. Makes tire rotation a snap. However... do NOT use the DeWalt for /final tightening/ of wheel nuts! You can't control the tightening torque the way you can with a low-powered air wrench. I sometimes use mine (after learning how it does what it does) to take the nuts up to roughly 25-50 ft/lbs, then I do the final tightening with a torque wrench. I must say the DeWalt is one of the very best tool purchases I've ever made. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

When rotating tires, final torquing is done by manual torque wrench. Compressor has so many uses, blowing our sprinkler, spray painting, nailer, stapler, real time saver |
