Just purchased a good cordless impact gun from Canadian (Crappy) Tire for half price, reg $250.

Got a deep impact 21mm socket for a 98 maxima GXE 15" wheel and what I get is slippage at the gun end.

This gun is powerful, so what I am doing wrong?

Please don't take my for an idiot.

Unbolting and it is slipping while using a "counter-closckwise" direction.

Smartass.

 

Just a joke. Lighten up.

Possible the stud is stripped and not allowing the bolt to be removed

figured it out. It initally slips but is gathering torque.

 

Is 21mm the right size?

 

most lugnuts use an outside measurement in SAE, not metric....21mm may be a little bit big.

 

just do it by hand the first time, maybe some threads have rusted and the bolt is stuck. when was the last time the wheels were taken off ?

 

no, it slips cuz it's electric.. nothing matches up to pneumatic

 

Word. It's like swinging a sledge hammer in the air to gain momentum then finally slamming it down on concrete. It's weird, it's not fast, but still powerful.

I prefer the corded model from Crappy Tire. No need to recharge batteries

 

mine doesn't "slip"

 

that's a mighty, manly arm you have there

 

 

cripes, how much did that set you back?

are you trying to beat Phenryv1's legs and rotor shot or something ? damn those things are hairy, gggrrrr haha just kidding

 

Of course, if it's a Snap-Off it should never fail. :P

 

WOW!!! That must have cost $ome!

Well I never liked battery equipement till I started haveing two or three extra charged ones for that time that the drill or saw or anthing in my arsenal takes a poop on me inmiddle of the job. For now I still got my good old air compressor and impact wrench.
