Oh, I'm perfectly chilled right now my friend - that being said, you have no idea what you're talking about in this instance, and your "unless you lend it to Seacoast" comment is what provoked me to respond.  Sorry if I called you out on making uninformed statements about what I do - or don't do - with my bike.

Pay attention to the emoticon. My Seacost comment was just sarcasm. But like alot of other people on forums, I guess you missed it. Twice.

Q -

- Tightening bodywork fasteners on the VFR
- Reinstalling those tiny little allens in the inside of the gas cap on the S4R
- Working on watches and fine jewelry
- Tightening down my bar end mirrors on the S4R
- Tightening any bolt that has a well nut on the other side
- Installing hard drives in my desktop computer
- Tightening those little bolts that hold your clutch springs in, at max torque setting
- Belt tensioners on the 996
- Back massager

Wow I didn't know you could use and impact wrench for all of that. I am going to get one too now!  [cheeky]

Maybe not, but it would make a damn fine bead breaker to go along with that tire changer.   [laugh]

Hello everyone -

Looking to get an impact wrench for working on the bikes.  I'm not sure if I quite have the room for an air compressor (right now ...) so I was debating getting an electric impact wrench.

Anyone have any experience with these?  Are they any good or should I just hold off until I have the space for a compressor and a proper impact wrench?

Thanks!

Adam

A little late chiming in here, but I do a lot of work on cars as well, I have the Dewalt Impact wrench. I have the one with a 1/2 drive and use a 3/8 adapter on it. I use it the most when taking things apart. You dont have to worry about over torqing when unbolting things. It is also very controlable so you can watch and not over torque when tightening also. Its a great tool to have.

I have to agree with Q on this. No need for an impact on a bike.

in addition.... i bought a dewalt electric impact wrench 10 years ago (for over 150.00). thought it was the greatest invention since sliced bread.
i have used it 3 times.
call it $50.00 each use :P
