On an old junker it’s not worth it. They only pay what it’s “worth,” and that number is very low for an old Honda. I don’t care how “perfect” he would claim it was.

You’re right - we hit rock bottom a while ago...

Seems fairly young from what I’m reading.

That would be the case with my brother, as well. Which is why he would never ever be driving any of my vehicles.

That’s OK - his older brother, who is apparently also an “heroic” former Marine, will make him whole, because all veterans are “supermen.”

I agree - this attaches a face and a name to the number, but that’s only an issue if one is worried about assassins.

How DID you manage to get that far?!

That was a movie...

two words: impact driver

That is not at all difficult. Anyone (well, many people) can exert 150 lb a couple of feet from a pivot point; that’s 300 lb-ft.

They are a little expensive, but they’re a lot cheaper than buying several of the cheaper ones, and being left high and dry on a weekend with broken tools.

Use an impact wrench!! You avoid all that slow-motion, bending stuff!!

is this you?

It doesn’t matter how high the price on the compressor - all that matters is the pressure and flow at the tool.

The 1/4-inch stuff is OK for light duty work, but not things like a heavy-duty impact wrench (not that a 1/2-inch wrench is heavy-duty).

Or, if it comes off, you’re going to meet Jesus.

Have repeatedly done the former; have never tried the latter, but I’m sure it would happen.

You are not correct, and one doesn’t put that nut on with an impact wrench, except for spinning it on until it starts to get snug.

You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about.

One doesn’t need to - that stake gives up right away to an impact wrench. A working impact wrench.....
