Looks like she knows how to use a power tool.

Hmmm shes holding it wrong... two handed like a pistol? Ive never seen anyone actually hold an impact like that. Experienced impact users naturally have one hand on the grip and the other over the top :D

Or the non trigger hand cupping the snout pump action shotgun style to stabilize the socket and act as a brake by clamping down on the socket as you release the trigger. Otherwise you spit the socket and lug nut in random directions at high velocity since it accelerates and un threads violently once it breaks loose :D

That thing has enough torque to get the lugs off?

It's an electric impact, uses high torque hammer impulses, constant torque is irrelevant.

Note the front half heavy looking metal snout cup, dead giveaway that it's an impact.

True--but they were already loosened by me (by hand) and she just used it to finish taking them off.
*shrugs* Still curious.

Heres a little video of it. 2005 GTO

Yes it does--works great for taking to the track to swap wheels.

I've got 2 electric impacts, neither one of them can get lugs off. Can't imagine 19v cordless one is any better...

no doubt... be a man and get a snappy.

I have had mine for a couple yrs now, really haven't found much it can't handle
