Hi Dusty

Motorbikes use low value torques regularly so the best is a bike shop.

Looking for impact extensions. A 20ftlb would be handy

I've been looking too, but no luck. If you find 15 that would make the HG job quick!

You could probably use a 1/4" air ratchet to speed things up. When I was a teenager I worked in an import garage and I saw my boss run down some spark plugs with one. I just about lost my mind at first. I asked him about it, and he said it had almost no torque, and wouldn't even crush the sealing washer on the plugs. Every time after running them down, he'd have to finish tightening them by hand power instead of air power.

why don't one of you guys make and index able cordless impact. Just like a cordless drill, but indexing on common values 6/12/15/20/25/35/and so on. and I want royalties.


btw received 2 responses from inquiries....saying 30ft lbs is as low as they go

now that I just said that, I wonder how accurate the settings are on a cordless drill.....might need to do some testing. if its +/- 5% to 10% it would still speed up a few things
