Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / December 2005Right angle impact driver
I need an impact driver for removing seats in trucks (some have slightly rusted bolts). Has anyone used the Ridgid right angle impact driver? If so, I would like your opinion as to whether it could be a replacement for an air ratchet wrench? Is it the only right angle impact driver on the market? Thanks in advance for any information you might have >I need an impact driver for removing seats in trucks (some have >slightly rusted bolts).

If you really need a right angle driver tool then I'd go and look into some of the high end Ingersol Rand pnuematic tools. I'm sure that they sell an air ratchet that has enough power to do what you want. ...Ron -- 68' Camaro RS 88' Firebird Formula 00' Mustang GT Vert Starting the bolt manually would probably be acceptable if that is the only real answer. An air powered unit is a problem since we will often be away from air sources. We thought of carrying our own compresser, but a reliable power source and the potential of an extension cord giving large voltage drops is a real concern. The Ridgid right angle impact driver has 700 in-lbs of torque or about 60 ft-lbs. That seems pretty high (not an impact hammer, of course). What torque is offered in the Ingersol right angle air tools? >The Ridgid right angle impact driver has 700 in-lbs of torque or about >60 ft-lbs.

If you're worried about getting air to the tools, you don't neccessarily have to have a compressor on hand. A bottle of nitrogen does the trick too, just ask the NASCAR ground crews. ...Ron -- 68' Camaro RS 88' Firebird Formula 00' Mustang GT Vert |
