milwaukee battery 1/2" impact question

I skipped over it and bought the newer model. Cost me an extra $20.

Absolutely no reason not to.

Hum - you are using a impact wrench to torque the lug nuts on your cars wheels ?

Not a good practice.

I just did the spring tire change over on 3 vehicles using my Milwaukee M18 1/2" removing the lugs and installing them using a torque stick it didn't even take the battery down enough to put it on the charger.
Of course I also use never sieze on the wheel studs and the hubs and rims.

Should have lined the drills up to match the separation joint in the curb.

It is said not to use a torque stick, or at least rely on it- especially with a non pneumatic impact. One probably shouldn't ever rely on them I guess. That being said, I do the same sans the never seize. Then a walk around with the big T.

Because I do use lubricant I use a bit less then the recommended torque on my pickup 110# versus the called for 130# Iv'e verified the results with a torque wrench a few times and it has been quite good.
The last tire I've had come loose was back in the late 80's from a tire shop.

I don't own a torque wrench. I rotate all my vehicles tires/wheels. I use a pneumatic gun, no torque stick. I've never lost a tire/wheel. I use the "rat a tat tat tat" method.
