Subject: RE: Suggestion for Cordless Wrench (torque/impact?)

Even if you use a breaker bar on stuck lug nuts, an impact socket is advisable. A few years ago, I picked up a spike in my front tire on my pick up. Could not budge the lugs with a regular tire wrench. Put a breaker bar and standard socket it on it. Just about fell over when the socket cracked and let loose. Put an impact socket on and was able to remove the lugs using the breaker bar. The tire place had way over torqued them, according to the place I took the tire to be repaired. They checked the other tires and said even with an impact wrench they had trouble removing.
