| Wasn't sure exactly where to post this. Here's a little background:
1.)I have some airline miles that are going to expire, and I'm trying to use them on some "nice to have" kinds of things.
2.)last year, we blew out a tire on my buddies Ranger trailer. We were trying to get the nuts off and were struggling in the sand on the side of the road. Luckily, a nice person was driving by and had some sort of cordless impact or torque wrench. He was able to quickly get the nuts off and back on with the tire change and get us on our way.
3.)I've never owned a power tool, and have no idea what to get. I do know in the last 10 years traveling to/from Canada, we've had two trailer tire blow outs (on two different boats), one car tire blow out, and one sliced tire (the shock spring was cracked from a previous accident, came loose, and cut the tire...terrible luck). So it seems it would be a good idea to get one of these cordless tools I can charge and toss in the truck in case this happens (saves lots of time and aggravation being able to get the nuts off/on quickly).
I know nothing about what I would need. Anyone have any suggestions? Whats th difference between a torque wrench and an impact wrench? What size? Are the nuts on boat trailer the same as nuts on a car ( i don't own a boat...yet)? How many volts (seems like there's 12v, 18v, etc). Looks like United Milage plus has Dewalt tools.
Thanks for any help/suggestions. | |
