Which should I buy? Electric or Air Impact
Posted by Broke on 7/29/13 at 3:00 pm00
I need an impact to get some shite broken free. I'm always in need of an impact but never actually gotten one. I don't have a compressor so I'm leaning electric. What are the cons of the electric?

Don't go cordless if you're buying an electric impact.
1/2" minimum.
PB Blaster is your friend.
So is the almighty oxy/acetylene wrench.
Now, go break some shite.

pneumatic is the way to go if you're willing to buy a compressor, if not then electric will work but dont buy cordless. A stubborn lug will drain that battery in a heartbeat.
I'm sorry, but none of this makes any sense. If you want a proper impact, you need a pneumatic, compressor setup, etc.
But, if you're going elecrtric, there's no reason (in 2013) not to get the cordless, because you're going to have the flexibility to take it to a breakdown and use it there.
Corded, plug-in electric impact is clown shoes, IMHO.

What doesn't make sense? I said a pneumatic should be his first choice, but he had to be willing to buy the compressor also. And a cordless impact WILL run a battery down very quickly with a stubborn bolt. Assuming it's not damn near welded on there taking it off with a tire iron should work fine.

If I'm not mistaken, even the new 20v dewalts have like 20% torque than the electric. good Pnuematics are also air hogs, you need a good compressor as well

Good point. Maybe I'll just buy that $450 snap-on and break even after 23 tire rotations.

good god are they charging $450. Let me see if I can help a brother out. Are you stuck on Snap-On? would any of the offering from MAC or Matco work? look at all their specs. if you really want any of those I can help you out, with any brand.
ETA: looks its either $590 or $685, 6 series or 7 series 400lbs vs 450lbs
Matco has a good specs model, its inbetween the two snap on's @ @650 retail, not sure what MAC has, I cant find a catalog and their website sucks.
