Absolutely- Never fails...All of that could have been avoided if you or the previous owner had switched to Quantum Blue with the enhanced anti-over torque additive package
I’ll agree with that … and there needs to be company protocols. Nobody likes an up-sale … but when the young man at DT told me “sir, based on the numbers of tires and rotations on that car (130k) and that style having some history, we recommend new lug nuts” … he went on to say the studs looked great … and I’m a big customer so I’ll get them discounted (they were less than AZ) … That’s a thoughtful service to me - took them.I see your point. We are, however, talking about properly installing wheels on a car. Done incorrectly, this could lead to a deadly situation. Also, my point is, if I pay the agreed amount, the shop (dealor or indie) needs to do their part. Just my 2 cents.
That's exactly what happened to my dad. My sister had new tires put on her car, and happened to run over something 2 days later while she was at college an hour away. My dad went to change the flat, and standing on the lug wrench he couldn't budge them. I ended up having to go down there and buzz them off with my impact. He went to the tire shop afterward and had a nice "discussion" with the owner.
Yeah, but most people don't have an extra 3 or 4 foot pipe lying around for leverage.I've had that happen. Had a dear friend of mine, somehow get a flat outside her friend's house. Went to change it. Stated that, even jumping up and down, couldn't get the lug off.
My first thought was... Y'all are weak.
And, sure enough, it was a small guy....
Nobody has heard of leverage?
Why would you get that one when the 2767 is 1400 foot pounds and 1/2 inch instead of 3/4? The latest 3/4 is the 2864 and that one is 1500 foot pounds.525 ft lbs of problem solver.
Now you’re talking!Why would you get that one when the 2767 is 1400 foot pounds and 1/2 inch instead of 3/4? The latest 3/4 is the 2864 and that one is 1500 foot pounds.
Here's a Ryobi one that's good for 300 foot pounds for $100 with battery and charger.

The Milwaukee 2767 at 1400 foot pounds will remove any lug nut but somewhat overkill. Not a good deal on it so far, but when it's on sale, it's about $250 for the impact wrench and battery.

Wow, they're getting pretty aggressive with the credit card offers. Used to be just 10% off which if you buy an appliance could be $50 and up. You do get mailings from them for 10% off your purchase once in a while though. I normally prefer to use my regular credit card because I get 2% back, but I like to use the Home Depot card when I have people buying stuff for repairs at the pro desk, they take the card over the phone and they automatically email you the receipt so I know exactly what they bought. For $100, I don't mind leaving it in the trunk along with the $20 Ryobi inflator.TYVM, Wolf.. I've wanted a battery-powered half-drive impact wrench for a few years but never found one I wanted at the price.. I bought two of the Ryobis (one for a friend).. Took two trips to HD (which I don't much like) for them to find them, but then I was offered an HD creditcard for $100 off and signed up! Two of them out the door (including 8.6% salestax, of course) was just over $100!
Yeah, but most people don't have an extra 3 or 4 foot pipe lying around for leverage.
Locked? Hmm.... no.In fact, these threads usually get locked. What do they accomplish anyway ? A pity party, more dealer horror stories, "I'm better than 90% of the techs out there" claims ?
Locked? Hmm.... no.
I had a flat on my Magnum...wound up calling AAA because I could not get the lugs off with a 4-way! The guy AAA sent was a huge dude (6'4", easily 300+lbs, 3' shoulders) who looked like he was playing hooky from the Patriots defensive line...and HE needed a breaker bar with a pipe on it. The gorilla with the impact was the dealer...they'd just done the brakes.
You shouldn't have to use anything except the tire tool that your vehicle came with.Yeah, but most people don't have an extra 3 or 4 foot pipe lying around for leverage.
