would this work well to remove exhaust flange bolts or lug nuts?

I would say it would! I have been cutting small pieces of 5/8" and also have cut a 3/4" bolts off the truck and it did just fine. Even though it is made to cut 1/2" max.

As for cutting the bolts it would perform the cutting work well. I have no idea how you would prevent damage to everything behind the bolt within an inch. It might be possible to place a heat shield of some material, but it will most likely throw the metal back on you.

The wrench works fine, unless the lug nuts/bolts are over torqued, that is when you will ruin the wrench trying to loosen the lug nuts. You need to use a breaker bar first

I coulnd't believe it, however we used this tool to remove lug nuts from one of our skid steers on the job site where we had aflat tire and we had no other tire tools. It worked just fine these tools bare down into some kind of powerfully low torque mode and do a very good job. Since then we have bought more of this tool for our trucks to have in them. We have a lot of hitachi brands and we are very pleased.

I just tried to use them to remove some 1/4-20 stainless flat head screws that were corroded into a piece of aluminum. The #2 tool, which is spec'd for 1/4" fasteners, broke with very little effort. Since the heads were big enough, I then tried to use the #4 tool, which is supposedly strong enough to remove 3/8" fasteners, and it broke too. I don't expect miracles from these tools but I do expect that they would strip the fastener head before breaking themselves. I consider this a design flaw and would not recommend them for really tough jobs.

A torque wrench is not needed to remove bolts or lug nuts. Some Ford spark plugs use a torque setting so you don't break the plugs. I really like this model for heavier jobs a smaller torque wrench would be good for spark plugs.

It probably could, but you'd go through batteries pretty quick. That's really not what it was designed for. Pneumatic or electric impact wrenches are specifically designed for removing and installing wheel lug nuts.

Probably not the standard. Plus the length of the driver is not conducive to the physics of a fulcrum needed to break the torque of a lug. Let alone tighten one up to the safe point. I'd stick with a proper lug wrench.

It's used on lots of auto work. It will hold up a lot. It will not make the torque to put in large bolts. But junkyard techs have this very tool in their hands at all times for dissasembly

It will work but you might need an adapter depending on what flange your intake manifold has.

I really doubt it. The twist of the inside 'threads' of the tool only bite into the bolt head when turned counterclockise. Try carefully filing the bolt head to fit a smaller wrench. Worth the effort if you ever need to remove it again. Or look for a tool with a set screw arrangement or a cam action. A very small pipe wrench might work, too. Best of luck, Michael.

No, this is for removing and tightening fasteners, ie; bolts, nuts, no hammer action up and down, I believe you are looking for a impact hammer type tool?

Honestly, I am not positive about that. However, each of the sockets are rifled a bit and should fit some odd sizing since they are made to take out stripped bolts. Even if they don't happen to work and you can spare the cash, I imagine the set would come in handy later on in your toolbox.

Yes, unless you want to replace the bolt and nut with a clevis pin for faster removal.

That is not what this tool is designed for. Lug nuts on a car require a 1/2" drive tool with H.D. torque

Hi. This is more of a threaded stud remover. Basically a drill chuck that gets tighter as you twist. I you have enough meat to get a hold of, it might work . It gets tighter the more you torque it and it has teeth in the chuck so it grips good. I used it to remove threaded 3/8 studs. Good luck!

I've used a flex bar to "break" the lug nuts first, then run them off and on with this tool, ( with a 1/4" to 1/2" adapter from 'Amazon') and a torque wrench for final assembly.. made me smile!

Hi - this is really the impact screw driver and not an "impact driver". I don't think it could break lug nuts loose but i hadn't tried it for that.
