1700Nm nut busting torque.

It got the main shaft nut in my gearbox off

[stuart bowes]

those Nm ratings are insane, how does it not just snap your wrist when you try and use it !?

These are peak numbers from the hammer action of them and why I personally don't like them as a general use tool. They damage the hex of the fasteners and often chip through any plated finish they have, especially when used with 12 point sockets.

Which actually raises a point here in using them. To get the best from their action, it's best that an Impact Socket be fitted directly to the Uga-duga machine, without extensions and be a snug fit to the drive. Likewise, the Socket needs to be a snug fit to the nut or bolt. The Hammer Action of them is only in short blows and they loose torque very rapidly if the action is taken up with any slack in the fits. It also helps if you hold the socket with a turning motion in the direction that it's being undone.

On a safety note, it's very important that they be used with Impact Sockets. Using standard sockets flares them at best or they'll exploded at worst, especially with the higher output guns.

I think if 1400 doesn't shift it I'd be going down the chisel route ...

[stuart bowes]

definitely.  bring out the big hammer

It is amazing, how hard it is to unscrew a left-hand thread nut, Lol.

Hence the Lol chuckle.

 

For some reason, LHTs have always stood out like a sore thumb to me, but on several occasions in life I have come across very competent engineers, inadvertently tightening a nut.

 

With age, I have learned to suggest that if they try tightening the nut and can move it a little, sometimes by working it back and forth, it will loosen and come undone, before walking nonchalantly away.

What ft-lb torque does your rattle gun supply? I got a hard wired one that is 400 ft-lbs and those nuts just fly off.

This is strange that you don't get it loose.

Once (on my old 90' Mini), we managed with my dad to break the CV at the thread. Me on the brakes, my dad with a 3/4" drive and 2m pray bar.

It did not last long, but cost me a new CV joint.
