Incase anyone is living in the Stone Age and doesn't get out much (apparently me) this could be life changing...
I was helping out a fellow GMC'er with his CV shaft. He showed up with a 1/2 inch electric impact gun. I was expecting to use my 5 foot breaker bar to break loose and retorque the axel nut. By jumping up and down on the end of the breaker bar.
DIDN'T need the breaker bar. These cordless impact wrenches are absolutely amazing!! Of course I had to go out and buy one the next day.
It turns a 3 hour job into a 1 hour job. And soo much easier on the body.......if the engineers keep putting out these amazing products, there's no reason we can't keep working on these coaches well into our 90's!, I'm not feeling a lot of excitement out there!
No more breaker bars, no more pneumatic guns, no more tripping over air hoses....... I still use the torque wrench for final small adjustments. But now I need a torque wrench that goes to at least 250 foot pounds.
Get a cordless impact wrench and save your back..
