Earthquake Impact Gun

[gatertamer]

Boy I tell you what …..I’ve got an IR impact gun with 1250 lbs. of torque and a harbor freight special earthquake with 800 lbs. of torque and that earthquake puts it to shame……I got a u-joint cap cockeyed and had to push it back out and the IR wouldn’t do it but the earthquake would…who would’ve thunk?

Would be nice if it came with a battery for $250

Don’t be picky, it’s 1600 ft lbs

250$ is cheap for a good tool

As @Rickyd and @Apparition said you cant beat the Milwaukee. We use them at work on our assembly floor and they get beat to crap and still hold up excellent. Very much worth it.

That's what I have. First thing I did was bust a new lug stud trying to draw it into the axle flange. Lesson learned. That lil' f'er has some balls!

I have the same Earthquake in the OP
Its my 2nd one and now Im on my 3rd as of this past week that is 1200lbs

1st one gave up the ghost after 3 years
2nd one brass connector shaft busted inside of it and I couldnt get it out. I also have the Ridgid Octane 20V which is 1100ft lbs

That Hercules looks beefy

You don’t have that one it’s not out yet. You probably have the 1400 ft lb nut buster as I have.

Oops. I didn't realize that. I guess I'll need the new and improved model to break shit faster!

I guess I'm just to dang old school(or cheap).

I still have air tools and use them all the time.

I do have a Dewalt 1/4 impact and a Dewalt cordless drill.

But my go to shop tools are all pneumatic.

Pneumatic is so yesterday.

Maybe when my air tools wear out I will buy cordless....... honestly probably won't then either.

I was the same way until I used a couple of battery powered tools at my buddy's garage. I started out just buying one gun, but now have a whole selection of battery-powered Milwaukee products. No cords or hoses to contend with. It's awesome!

 

[CreepinDeth]

I cant deny the air hoses are a nuisance

If I'm gonna party like its 1999 it won't be in my shop

Oh I have used them in the maintenance department where I used to work. I agree no hoses is good when traveling all over a plant.

I just can't justify the expense for my personal shop, when I already have all the air tools on hand.

I was out weed eating and edging today with my Milwaukee Fuel. I’d hate to drag a hose around my yard for that.
