I have never own an impact driver. I am looking for an impact driver for taking off and replacing lug nuts. Is this a good tool for that type of job?

never used this impact driver for that. you want to check with harbour frieght. they have a impact driver especially for taking of lug nuts. I have one and it works great.

I would use a pneumatic impact driver with a torque wrench, I would not suggest using this for lug nuts. I use this instead of a corded screw gun

Lug nuts require a substantial amount of (tourqe) power, usually air powered tools are used for this. If you can't can't consider an air (impact ) tool then this may do the job ! It's pretty powerful!

What you need is an impact wrench.....DEWALT DCF880HM2 20-volt MAX Lithium Ion 1/2-Inch Impact Wrench Kit ......is a great choice. We use this daily at our shop for the application you are wanting it for.

This is an impact only driver. I feel most unsuitable for constant torque application as needed for raising and lowering a jack screw thread.

In the description, you'll see that one is called a drill and the other is called an impact driver. The drill functions as you probably expect, it is good for drilling holes and you can also use it for driving screws. However, the impact driver is better suited to driving screws than the drill is. One, its torque rating is 4 times the rating of the drill. Two, due to the nature of impact drivers, it does not push back against you when driving a screw. With a drill, if you drive a screw, the drill wants to twist in the opposite direction of the screw. With impact drivers, this tendency is greatly reduced. I recently purchased this set and it is the first impact driver I've used. I really appreciate this aspect of its operation. It is also nice to have both devices so that you don't have to swap bits as much. I frequently drill holes for a screw or bolt. By having both of these, I use the drill to create the hole and then pick up the impact driver to drive in the screw or bolt instead of having to swap out my drill bit for a screw bit or nut driver.

No, no impact driver in this set. Search Amazon -black and decker impact driver- to see what is available.

An impact driver is made to aid in rotating torque to tighten and loosen bolts, lugs etc., a hammer drill applies force towards the medium being drilled into.. like concrete, in which a regular drill and bit would not be able to bore into unless force was being applied toward the concrete.

Great driver! Works wonderful. Is great for small bolts and nuts like 1/4" - 3/8" bolts. Does not work the same as Dewalt's 1/4 impact driver which works great for driving in screws with the ratcheting function. This driver works just like a air operated impact gun, but just uses a battery. Make sure that you spend the extra money on the 20V model too, don't be cheap and get a 18v, you will be disappointed.

1)not every screwdriver bit, 2) it comes with a lifetime warranty that can replace any item in the package at anytime should it get damaged and 3) cannot be used with impact driver, i hope this helps you

Mine runs my impact just fine. Now it doesn't run it like a nascar pit crew impact. But more than sdequate to take a tire on/off. If you're running a garage or business look at something a bit beefier. But for the occasional back yard mechanic this will be fine

Highly unlikely. I used it the other day to run a nut down on a 1/2" stud to hold a vice to a metal bench. It worked well, BUT, taking lug nuts loose from a car is a different thing altogether. The electric impacts that can typically have 1/2" square drive for sockets and usually have at least 300 ft pounds of torque.... as good as this Dewalt impact drive is... it's designed around a 1/4" collet/he drive and has torque in the area of inch pounds, not foot pounds .

No, unfortunately your finger in the torque setting. This gun wont break loose some of the tighter lugnuts, but once they are broke loose it is a real timesaver. I still like this impact but tools have their place and this wont eliminate the need for a torque wrench, but is still very useful for lugnuts, lawnmower blades(which is super nice, no more holding the blades) and other jobs. There are more powerful impacts out there. Pick the one that fits your needs best.

Mine has a tough time removing rusted lug nuts from a truck but it may be my impact wrench more than the compressor itself. It should be strong enough with the right impact wrench.

This is an impact driver, not an impact hammer. It provides twisting power, but does not "hammer" in the forward direction. It will thus not work as well as the tools designed to power their way into concrete.

Not sure exactly but I would just use it on the lowest setting and dont hammer on them, use a torque wrench afterwards as well. You could also invest into a torque stick that limits the power of the impact when tightening lug nuts.

It can be that is what I bought it for, Mostly depends how tight you put them on. If I use my Air impact it wont take them off. But put them on with it, it will take them off. I use this on my 4x4 Offroad rig, I have 8 lugs per wheel on fine thread and was not about to use a 4-way to remove them. I also use it daily for other chores, driving lag bolts into 4x4 and 4x6 when building my privacy fence, my kids play house, out buildings, any place I can use it instead of a rachet.

I've had mine for about 3 years and not noticed any problems like that. The hammer drill function is worth having. I haven't used the impact driver much but it has been a handy addition.

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.

no impact driver. I have been known to use mine with a drill, as well as my "dremel" rotary tool. I think an impact driver would destroy it, if you could even find a way to attach it.
