Lol.. "and here is my set of super-shallow Guangzhao Happy Lucky Victory Trading Co. 1/2 impact sockets... haven't lost an eye with 'em yet."

That gets old quick. I take them off and snug them up with a small impact and torque limiting extension. Then the clicky wrench once it's back on the ground.

Not much need for the covered socket if you are spinning them by hand imo

You should be good at “Hand-Jobs”

If not, you will be

I’ll remove & install with impact (my Ridgid), as I’ve learned the amount of torque it delivers on each setting.
Then I’ll hit with torque wrench & again after a couple hundred miles

I've been looking at their ratcheting wrenches. This set is leading the pack right now.

That’s one area that I only own “Gearwrench” brand

As I’ve only stripped (1) 7/16” one before...many years ago on a Dumptruck slack adjuster

jchammond · 01-07-2020, 08:16 AM

Ordered a new car cover for the ~Z~

Something that I should have done 6-8mos ago

I'm not sure what the other settings on my little impact do. It claims 210ft/lb max but my flywheel bolts said otherwise. The beast made quick work of them though.

I could get away without the torque limiting rod since i just sung them up enough to set it on the ground but I use it anyway.

I thought you've been working on the car cover for the last 3 months

jchammond · 01-07-2020, 08:20 AM

Gonna break down & have a small construction crew come out & take up some old fencing, dig me a large hole near rear of property & build up/pack underneath and around my garage

He’s got the proper equipment to do it right & can pack it down well underneath my raised box

I’ll get to see a laser level in action

jchammond · 01-07-2020, 08:23 AM

Headed outside for a couple hours to bore a few more hoe’s & install a few more bolts

My construction crew date is 1/18...so I got time to round up whatever amount of my empire, that I’m going to bury

I still thread my lugs by hand. Keeps me in tune with the thread condition. I use a protected socket as well - exposed metal will still mar the inside of the lug holes on the wheels
