Using the 1/2 dr for sockets how powerful in it for removing lug nuts? What's the ft-pounds of torgue?

As another person answered, it is best to break the nuts free first with a breaker bar and finish by tightening with a torque wrench. This tool has a maximum 1,650lb/in of torque, which converts to 137lb/ft. Most 1/2" impact wrenches (this is an impact driver not wrench) have in the neighborhood of 300-400 lb/ft of torque. Of course, pneumatic impact wrenches can have well over 500lb/ft.

I used it for changing tires on a light SUV. I broke the lug nuts free with a breaker bar and the Bosch did the rest. When tightening I used the Bosch and then finished with a torque wrench set to 105 ft-pound. Most of the nuts required less than 1/4 of a turn to finish. All in all very impressive.

The DT has a 1/4 hex socket for bits...the WT has what your looking for 3/8 for sockets.

Yes sir, I had a rounded head and uses 1size smaller, pounded the socket onto the rounded head. I used a 1/2 breaker bar with a pipe inserted over it to get extra purchase . One slow pull got her done. I was working on a salt water boat trailer springs, brake calipers. Never leave home without you Irwin Torques!

It will remove the lug nuts from MY car which are torqued to the proper 58 lb/ft. If some idiot from a tire change place put them on with his 400 lb/ft. impact wrench, probably not!

I haven't used mine for lugs but I did use it to remove the pinion gear nut and it had plenty of torque for that. I imagine the lugs wouldn't be an issue.

I used a deep socket and it worked well. Really good lugs though but only down side is they fade very fast.

Weight in how heavy it is to ship? 6 pounds (from product specs). Weight in how heavy they are compared to regular sockets? Heavy. They are impact sockets designed to be used on an impact wrench.

I use a Gorilla Wrench which includes the correct size socket. I also use a 6 inch extension. Don't forget to torque your lugs after tightening them.

Accepts all 1/2" drive sockets. Best to use an "impact socket", these are readily available. Impact sockets are stronger than regular 1/2" drive sockets.

it takes about the smallest torx tool they make - not sure what T# that it is tho

It works great for lug nuts, or anywhere you have room to move. I can't torque the nut on my oil pan with it. I use a standard torque wrench for that.

Both ends have a hex of different sizes. Two sizes, one socket. In the middle of each flip socket is a 1/2" drive tang that you slip the extension that comes with the kit into the opposite end that you need for the lug nuts. Think of it working like any other socket except there's a an extra socket sticking out.

In my opinion no. I ended up grabbing a 20 volt lithium dewalt that works great on lug nuts. Its the one with 3 led lights built in. I bought it localy at a pawn shop in the sealed box for $80.

Doubtful, as stated earlier most automotive torque specs for lugs are around 100ftlbs and I've never been able to get mine to break the lugs free. Had to start it by hand or just pull out my pneumatic impact. Wish it would as it would be much easier than lugging the hose around.

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.
