Tried it today on a wheel nut [neighbour's car] which was set at 110Nm using a torque wrench. It failed, despite trying both fully charged batteries to loosen it, so I've asked for a return on this basis. My needs would exceed that figure - 120Nm is the tightening setting for the BMW.
Oh well, seemed like a good idea at the time.
Um not good, which impact wrench did you get?

seriously:
are you opening a museum? (in which case, i want to visit!)
or do you turn them over as a job?
that is a *lot* of iron.

When the workshop is built and complete. Your more than welcome to come and visit. I collect. Restore them and keep them for my own pleasure and happy that I have saved another piece of history.

a cast iron stove.
and a cast iron pot?
can't see that...
That was a tactical ploy, he did say he’s not allowed to hunt any more machines.
Nothing stopping him from getting a maaahhooosive pot and stove. I’m trying to look after my man and his need to acquire some heavy metal

I use one like this on site for fixings and assembling unistrut etc.

It is good but I expect not up to wheel nut removal.
However this is
https://www.howetools.co.uk/bosch-g...YmpLHMYRNzYC8avV-TWXjDPYomGIZyUUaApf7EALw_wcB
Even that needs the odd tightening dug before attempting to undo wheel studs put in by an ape with a windy gun, despite it coping with undoing Rover V8 crank pulley nuts which are torqued to twice that which a wheel nut should be.
I've got one of these. https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-cew1000-electric-impact-wrench/
420nm apparently!
I think its a load of rubbish. Wouldn't take the wheel nuts off my old Ford Focus. I understand that wheel nuts are a funny thing and they can corrode onto to the threads but this was mains powered. Now I've had the use of an impact wrench I found I don't like them. It's the lack of mechanical sympathy employed. I would use them on old exhaust bolts that are getting binned but not on anything that remains on the car.

I have a tiny space for a lathe if he accepts your solution
