Anyone in SF have an Impact gun I can use for 2 minutes?

Hello,

My strut nut is rusted on a KW coilover that is currently off the car. I have the 22mm socket. Just need to try and hammer the thing off. Probably won't take more than 5 seconds.

Thanks!

I would think an impact would be a good edition to start your own tool collection instead of asking to borrow other people's stuff are the time. Are you my nephew???!!!!!

Electric impact gun might not be enough, air tools would be best.

Plenty of torque for that stuff. Besides, you can actually damage the internals of the strut if you let it free spin at speed from the impact gun.

Battery impacts these days are rated around 1500 lbs of torque.
