Does this require the use of an Impact? Cannot be done by hand?

Better with impact but can be done by hand. Biggest issue is access to stud to be removed. Puller is quite large, i.e about the size of a drill chuck

Impact not required but would sure make it easier. If doing by hand and you only have a short stud to grab onto, you need to make certain you are dead center and remain dead center while turning.

this tool is made for hand tools (wrench, ratchet- you choose) not for use with impacts

I used an ordinary break-over bar; then a ratchet after the stud loosened.It worked very good.

Not by hand pump. I use a small compressor. The size was to small for me...

I have only used this with my cordless drill, but I see no reason it couldnt be used with an impact. It seems to be sturdy enough, and I have had no problems with it thus far.

not really. It is pretty hard core and stright forward. There is no non impact option.

This impact tool is very weak. It probably won"t work for you. I bought three and by the time we got around to using them, it was too late to return them. I gave them away.

No. The amount of force required to activate (to push down on the release pedal) is quite substantial, which precludes this being used on a table.

Yes, you can. It will not fall forward. But sometimes then my hand and tool don't fit.

You must impact something since it bases everything off of that to know swing path, face angle, etc. You care about those things at impact and to know when that is, the device must "feel" an impact. It can be just a foam ball which you can safely hit indoors. I am guilty is using a small stuffed animal to test mine the first time in my living room. =)

Absolutely not. Don't use paddle bits in an impact drill you are just looking for trouble.

No, an impact driver is like the drill/driver, but with more torque for driving nut/bolts larger than screws and such.

no the impact is not for drilling concrete. you need a hammer drill ti drill concrete

You can buy bits that are impact ready and imbedded into a 1/4" hex base. Impacts don't know when to stop. If you are not quick to unpull the trigger, you can do some damage using this as a driver for delicate situations. Without specifics, it is hard to be precise. I suppose the best advice is is invest in a set of bits and see how you like this. The bits will be cheaper than another tool.

I use an impact...but make sure you have the proper size pieces or "cups & saucers", as I call them before you begin with the air tools. Be especially observant as some OEM balljoints have hidden flanges on the bottom that are not on the replacement ball joints. Also, some ball joints are serrated and take some reasonable application of the tool to persuade the ball joint to pop out. Installation is just the reverse and much easier. I have been very satisfied with the tool and have used it several dozen times.

Yes, it is. This free little movement is necessary for the impact mechanism.

I use them with a cordless hammer drill. I don't believe the "pounding" action is the same with an impact driver. My impact won't take straight bits, so I have never tried it.

Yes, but it does require a little effort. Much like pumping a bicycle tire with a hand held. Recommend pushing out all the air my smooshing it so save time/energy.

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.
