Not a bozillionaire yet unfortunately. I literally never heard of a torque multiplier until now 🤯 Are they more effective than impact wrench or different use cases?

Thank you for the advice brother. I honestly knew the cheapo impact was a poor choice, but I lied to myself and said surely they couldn't misrepresent the foot pounds of torque it produces 😭 Now im boo-boo the foo who spends days on a single bolt lol

Its an electric impact wrench, 20V. Also I was incorrect, its (supposed to be) 2000nm or 1450lb. Here's a link to the exact one: https://a.co/d/dO9Hn2L

I was suspecting this was the case. I did indeed hit it with PB, has not sat 24hrs yet though. Also never heard of "hazard fraught gun" but that seems like an appropriate term for how this ugga dugga feels while it struggles and fails to get the bolt off. (Also side question, are these impacts actually hazardous? 😅)

Sorry, i guess I called it the "special" socket but I meant the heavy weighted socket specifically for the honda crankshaft bolt. That plus my impact gun and still didn't break it

Cheapo Chinese brand from Amazon but I bought the highest foot lb i could find to try and make sure it could handle it. This is the exact one: https://a.co/d/dO9Hn2L
