rhombus posted:Do I need to buy impact sockets to use with it? I do have a set of Craftsman sockets that would be replaced for free should anything happen to them. It's definitely preferable to do that. Impact sockets are made from harder steel than regular sockets, so they don't twist as much as regular sockets on each impact. Since any force that doesn't get transmitted to the nut is useless, you won't get quite as much torque out of it with regular sockets as you would with impacts.

I have the oddest feeling that "needs to be calibrated" means, "broken and can't be calibrated" This is craigslist, after all.

Yes  You do have to be careful with them though, things like extensions will throw them off.

Honestly, they're good enough for "tight enough not to fall off but not so tight the wheel gets damaged/things strip out." Which is what torque specs for lugnuts are generally meant to accomplish anyway. That said, I still usually check a few lugs with a torque wrench after to make sure the stick isn't severely wrong.

Shopvacs are also great for blowing stuff out if they have a hookup on the blower side.

Sockington posted:How do you even get your hands in the tight places we are talking about? I would pay money to watch you change my Miata oil filter without removing anything. Once I'd done it like three or four times I had no problem getting in there. Mainly because I know exactly where it is now by feel. My hands are tiny though.

IOwnCalculus posted:The only concern I have with it is the wildly varying torque ratings given for the 3/8 pro model. Seems like depending on where you look, it could be rated for anything between 125 and 400 ft lb. They have lifetime replacement for the pro model so I figure I'll just run the gun at full speed and see if it breaks.

It looks like that lugnut has ten sides internally. That's probably some weird anti-theft thing. It looks like you can get a ten point lugnut key that'll work for like $20 from here. There's probably other sellers, but that's gonna be the best option unless you have some extractor tool that will fit. Just make sure to measure it beforehand. Calipers are pretty cheap and really, really useful if you don't have 'em.
