What is the last thing you purchased?

"manong, 'wag masyado mahigpit. baka hindi ko mapalitan yan pag na-flat tire ako."

I had enough of doing it that way. I hate to admit it, but I thought I can easily remove the lug nuts the way I do it before. The first time I had to remove the tire, after so many years that I haven't done it, I was sweating like I was in the engine room with a temperature of 42°C. No exaggeration, I was sweating like that.

So I decided to buy a cordless impact wrench, those knocked off from China. Then I thought, I no longer want to bring my torque wrench. And so I bought the torque stick.

This reminds me, the impact wrench I bought is not so strong to remove the lug nuts for this pickup truck. It was so tight that "jumping" on the L-wrench won't budge at all.





I was on my way to Subic when I saw them stranded. I decided to stop and ask them if there's anything I can help. The lady didn't know what to do and the young man had no idea how to bring down the spare tire.

I guided the young man and since he has a "better" body built compared to me, I let him do the "jumping". Once it got loose, removing and putting back the lug nuts is a breeze.

I think I should have bought an impact wrench with a known brand...

kahit naman ngayon halos walang nagamit ng torque wrench, may instructions sa manual IIRC, that says, when you tighten it by hand, you twist it several times with the wrench, which i think comes close to the desired torque.

What I do is step on the wrench just enough to let it carry my weight for a couple of seconds, that's my torque.

hah!
nevair did i stand on the wretch to torque it.
i used just my bisigs.

driving schools should conduct real-life tyre-changing sessions with their students.

btw,
what happened to that tire!
first time i saw a tread separate from the sidewall in its entirety!
... running flat at high speed?

i just use use speed setting "2" (max is 4) on the rattle gun to affix lug nuts. then use a torque wrench to tighten them to spec

i do the same approach. use the max speed of the impact wrench for loosening and quick removal then use low setting to pre-tighten. then use the torque wrench to tighten to its req'd torque.

naka-witness ako minsan sa casa na may naputol na lug nut (not my car). not during the use of the pneumatic wrench but during the manual final tightening and torquing.

^ ok iyang having an obd scanner. It'll pay for itself eventually.

Iyong akin iyong basic lang pero for the few times i've used it, the cost of having my vehicles scAnned in a shop would basically exceed the device's price by now.



do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

Sa sasakyan namin laging may baon ng telescopic wrench.

"nikelado."

in the olden days,
we would drive around with cross-wrenches and a 2 - 3 foot length of nawasa pipe as braker bar...
