Default Anyone local have an impact wrench?

I can use/borrow. I thought I would try and ask. I am installing rotors and I need to break these damn bolts loose.

Or is there a place that rents these things?

You can probably use our stuff if you can't find anything closer. We've got the air compressor, impact, and a battery powered one, too.

Actually, the battery powered impact wrench was more effective at times then the one attached to the air tank.

fyi...this was during my Nismo S-tune suspension install over at Christi's house.

I've not seen that one, but I know the one that Christi and her husband has is one that is completely chordless. Think chordless screwdriver but in an impact wrench format. I have no idea the cost, but if I was looking at one I would totally go that route even if it was more.

I don't remember the brand name of the one that Christi has but I remember her mentioning that it was cheaper then the Snap-on one. You might PM her for more details.
