Just need opinion from you guys that will it be powerful enough to open chain sprocket nuts…it says it can open car wheel nuts so I dont think there should be any problems…
Shouldn’t even need an impact wrench to shift sprocket nuts, they should only be done up to about 60Nm. Fairly easy to shift with a decent sized ratchet, or small breaker bar.
A big hello to the welcome return of the impact wrench/drive sprocket nut debate.
Sorry, but we had this debate just a couple of months ago.
Briefly,as Stuts says, you should not need one, just a proper socket and a decent bar.
Second, you never know the shock load from an impact wrench. It’s quite possible to do permanent damage to the gearbox. Much less likely to happen with the steady pressure of a breaker bar.
Last. Never, ever, do up a nut with an impact wrench. It has a manufacturers torque setting, use it.
The odd bits. Make sure any tab washer/split pin/locking device is removed before trying to undo the nut. O.K., seems blindingly obvious, but…
If there is a locking device, don’t forget to replace it with a new one when you re assemble the beast.
Impact wrenches should stay in the same box as the cold chisel and lump hammer. The one marked “In desparation”.
In your last post about this it was also for chain sprocket nuts, so I take it your mechanic friend couldna help you out?

Sheeyit.
Asking the same question twice is taking the p*ss out of the mutual aid system. Always glad to help someone but a little self help doesn’t go amiss.
Now you’ve had the benefit of the forum twice on much, if not the same, subject.
Perhaps it’s time to start paying for your wants and take it to a bike shop.
Groundhog Day!!!:w00t:
haha it may get one nut off before it becomes just more fugin land fill…
they are goodyes , i have one of those and use it for loads of stuff , crank shaft bolts / head bolts / the wheel nuts on my van are 27mm and it gets them off too
For gods sake. Impact wrenches are the last resort, even for complete mechanical novices. They are at best a substitute for a tool kit and a little tiny bit of skill.
Now the real point.
Stop offering answers to someone who is too lazy to put into practice the things he bhas already been advised on.
End this thread now, please.
What u talking about this is a different wrench not the same as before…my bike is fixed…i am asking the question for this wrench. I can use the wrench for many purposes not just for chain and sproks…i can understand about doing damage while locking a nut but Its more pain to open a locked nut which I need the wrench for…Oldguy you are to stuck in ur old ways.
the bike is fixed…but i need specific advise on this wrench…
I was talking about small sproket …
my friend changed the chain and sprocket for 20 quid…
its not the same wrench…
ok thanks your comments were very useful…not sarcastic like others…thanks again
who is talking about changing the chain…i needed to know if this wrench is strong enough…there 100s of other things i can use it on…I am not lazy as u for sure…
On the whole I agree with you but they can save you having to apply a lot of force to a bolt, sometimes it’s better to use a good impact wrench which can undo a nut in a short time than it is to take 10 mins with a breaker bar and risk bending the bolt.
argos give one year warrenty or money back
well I wouldnt wana comment on ppl jumping to conclusions…not reading threads properly…typing b4 thinking…being stuck in a rut…jumping down ppls throat…
but only cause Id have to do it on every post lol. Easyrider, good recover
O.K. I’ll recant, but perhaps you could make things a bit clearer next time?
I’ll stand by my statement that impact wrenches fall in the same group as cold chisles and lump hammers. I own all three and some bloody huge adjustable spanners and a hydraulic nut splitter. They are for the “when all else has failed” moments.
“Stuck in my ways”. If the application of proper tools and a bit of engineering knowledge and skill is that, then yes, I’m stuck in my ways.
Thank the lord, so even is most of the rest of the world. It’s about doing a job properly. That’s why brick layers still use trowels, plasterers use floats and carpenters use saws, and so on.
