Bought a set of 1/2" deep well impact sockets to put in her trailer. Bought a cheep 1/2" breaker bar and some air tool oil. Looked for some of the sockets that take off the odd ball security nuts. All they had was very small stuff. Stopped by Menard's, picked up the one I need for $1.78. The impact sockets in an identical package but with a different label were Twice as high as HF. Gots the sockets and breaker bar in case of a flat tire on the trailer. Got a never used hyd jack in the motor home I'm gonna put in this dang trailer. Gonna put a 1" bolt in the vise tomorrow and try to bend this breaker bar. If it don't break with my butt pulling on it, it outta take off the lug nuts.

My dad bought a 12 volt impact wrench from them. I laughed at it. It looks so cheesy, but that little bugger will break things loose the our old 3/4 air impact could not. It winds up and with one big bang, it throws everything it has at the lug nut one time. Then it does it again. It is crazy, but it works.

Bought the Earthquake 1/2" battery powered impact from HF. That thing does a great job. Beats a lug wrench for changing tires but I keep a pull handle for tightening the lug nuts, just don't trust any impact for that. I try to buy "made in USA" when I can but when other places have the same stuff at 2 - 3 times the price and still made in China I go to HF.
Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God.

Be careful when you try to break the breakpver. I've got one of the LONG ones. Figured it wouldn't be much, but it gets some spring to it. I've been really pushing hard on something and slipped and it springs back at you. I've broke several of their impact size adapters, but I don't think I've broke a wrench or socket yet.
