I don't trust air tools,,,,
I ALWAYS use a hammer and an impact driver

Mr Gadgets

If the air is shut off.. I have a 5' cheater pipe that fits all my 3/4" drive stuff and the pipe wrenches.. works like magic

Isn't there an "engine builder" (I use that term very loosely) down in north Carolina that has been known to work his "magic" on some engines? I'll bet he's got some good tips on tool usage.

always use a ball peen hammer for metal stuff like lifters and carbs. use the round end and you will be able to keep track of which ones you've already DONE. claw hammers are for hitting da ole lady when she don't act ryt. dats how youse gets on da jerry springer show. least ways dats how me and the lil woman got on there. they flyed us's to chicago in one them thar aireoplanes n everthin.

The first time I encountered left handed thread lug nuts on a Volkswagen, my buddy and I used a breaker bar and a six foot length of three inch black pipe to break that bad boy loose. True story.

You must have "broke" it loose

I tighten them up until they start to strip...then I back them off a 1/4 turn and give them some time to ''heal up'' before final assembly..

After I had trouble with a few coming loose I just went to my trailer guy and borrowed his 1" impact he uses for tightening on hitch balls I figure I can get 650 ft-lbs that keeps them nice and snug

I don't know if it is true but I heard some kid ran a lug nut on his finger with an impact. His shop teacher saw what happened and immediately grabbed his hand and backed the lug nut off with the impact. His reason for doing so was because if his finger had swollen there would be no way to remove it without an amputation.
