Great neck impact wrench

Great explanation. Thanks!

Great video, by the way you sound a lot like Dan Akroyd :-)

Two thumbs up

What size drive is that, 1/4, 3/8 or 1/2?
I have 25% coupon for Advanced Auto and not sure which to get.
Also, does anybody know if you can insett a hex wrench-type of tip in this tool? Can it help to remove hexes or Allen for an AC expansion valve on a KIA?
Thanks in advance.

Is this better than battery impact driver drill at getting out bad screws?

Lefty loosy:) Thank you

didn't know about the twist before hitting it (just bought a honda) and Voila !!! Much appreciated, its like learning from my dad/grandpa all over again : )  You have a very kinda and informative voice. I hope you keep making a whole bunch more videos!

bought one os these, didnt know how to use it. thanks!

Good video but would this help with a rounded out hex bolt as the retainer bolt?

Badass...

So what is the difference between this and hitting a regular screwdriver with a hammer?Is there a mechanism in it that multiplies the force?

???

Does the type of hammer matter? Regular steel, a deadblow, etc?

Thanks for showing me the proper way to use the tool. I thought i had to push forward and then hammer. You have to hold the body still or a little forward force in the desired direction of tightening or loosening. The tip of the driver moves forward to bite and turns at the same time. The body doesn't turn but just moves forward.

Ball been and a hammer, apply antiseize ALWAYS when reinstalling.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Just ignore they guys who think you took too long. I like the detailed vidoes and can fast forward through the parts I already know about.

Great tutorial. Clearly presented & concise; appreciated you personal sharing techniques. Another I viewed also suggested applying valve grinding compound on the tips of bit to tighten seating on the bolt / screw. Never owned an impact driver, but just bought a Lisle 3/8". Got some frozen bolts on a Club Car golf cart's struts. Ready to get the upgrade project done.

its a Jis bit not phillips designed a little differently

I heat the screw and disc with hot air gun/ butane torch and then spray with WW40. Then use driver. Usual fire precautions and common sense!

Was that a JIS bit you used?

I am having the problem this other guys is having. I've set the tool to L-left, then it doesn't matter how hard I hammer it or try to twist it. I'm even trying just the screw in a push scooter for a kid and it's not working there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VlPid4rAdU Wondering if there's any trick I'm missing? Do you have any idea why it didn't work for him? It looks so easy when you do it...

use a JIS screw driver not a philips

I got one of these in a set and thought it was basically a paperweight. The instructions sounded ridiculous and if I hadn’t looked up your video I would’ve tossed it in the scrap metal bin. Thanks for the video!

The Righty tighty is actually for loosening Left Handed Threads. Not the common thread but they do exist. The helix of a thread can twist in two possible directions, which is known as handedness. Most threads are oriented so that the threaded item, when seen from a point of view on the axis through the center of the helix, moves away from the viewer when it is turned in a clockwise direction, and moves towards the viewer when it is turned counterclockwise. This is known as a right-handed (RH) thread, because it follows the right hand grip rule. Threads oriented in the opposite direction are known as left-handed (LH).

I tried this and didn’t work on my 2008 Honda Civic. ?

what if the bolt is strip?? Can a used a corldess impact to drill the bolt out?,or should i lose the wheel bearing bolt and used a 3 ton jaw puller to remove the rotor with the hub?.Any ideas would be appreciated!,

would this work on stripped screws?

hit that thing like it owes you money!

Neato!

If you want to save yourself some time, and still learn how to use this gizmo, start watching at the 3:35 mark.

can I use a normal screw driver for this method?

I was doing it all wrong haha. Thanks for this video mate

thank you - great video - explained it all really well !!

Take your gloves off their irritating to look at

If you are removing the rotor retaining screw do yourself a BIG favor. Perform this step FIRST after the wheel has been removed. If you work the screw out however you need to, (Impact Driver, drilling out especially Impact Driver. There is reasonable logic so stay with me for a couple of minutes.


With the wheel and tire off but caliper still attached
tothe rotor you can set the parking brake and hold the rotor in place. This technique works for rear rotors. For the fronts it really doesn’t matter because after a few good “Lizzie Borden’s” from the hammer to the impact driver bit should break the torque on the screw. Once loosened the free spinning rotor should be no factor as you can hold rotor in place with your hand if it even modes at all.

Also remember most rotor screws rusted on enough to need an impact driver will probably have the head stripped from all the beatings of the hammer so don’t plan on reusing. In probably about 90-95% of the cases that screw is not re installed. The screw is out on at the factory to prevent the heavy rotor from falling onto a assembly line workers foot. Yes only a few feet but direct impact on the foot even with the Steel Toed boots will get your attention. After the caliper is installed the brake pads help keep the rotor retained until the tire/wheel assembly gets installed further down the production process. Most people especially home DIY ers toss the screw in the trash.

If you do insist on replacing the screw I strongly recommend having the new screws on hand first to save time. If you can’t find exact replacement the. The length and thread pitch is probably more critical than the head tip. If you re install use a dab of Anti Seize on the threads and tighten hand tight but snug. They along with most other screws are installed by automated torquing guns, and that’s why they are so tight when removing. Hand tightening st home with Anti-Seize should help make future removal much easier.

Thanks , well explained

Thanks for the video great job!!!!!!!

I snapped two bits, stripped the head of the screw and its still jammed in as tight as ever. What am I doing wrong? Yes I am screwing to the left not the right

i spent 4 hours for ONE damn screw, even with impact driver still can't remove it!

Thanks - uninformed as I am, I did not know about keeping a moderate CCW pressure on the driver while striking.

When one does a video or a demo of any kind you first go through it to make sure everything works like it is suppose to. This is the sign of a professional for those of you who complain and think they are experts shade trees always have some sly stupid comments i.e. "When I did it" or "How come you did not"

Thank you so much for this video my screws on rear 97 accord are rusted in there !

No problems with the video, but I did notice you barely hit the impact driver with the hammer, and it was immediately loosened.  That's not realistic; normally, the screw might take three or four solid whacks before it was released.  Perhaps this was staged to make the video come out the way you wanted?  This happens to be the best way to remove corroded Honda rotor screws, so I guess we'll let you pass on this one.

Hi ? Ya Love. Good video. But, you REALLY need some less fury gloves!!!!!! Then we can actually see what’s going on!!!!!!
I know it’s hard to film and do your stuff. But change your gloves ?.

feck me 4 mins of shite then he explains what's needed in 15 secs, why do people put this crap waisting people's time on YouTube!

Very nice bro

Great video ??

Much obliged

I really need one of this

Thanks. The description of how to set the rotation direction and need to apply some rotational force was very useful.

BTW the fastener is actually a JIS head, not a standard Philips. Assuming this is a Japanese made car. It's a different head.

Great video - once I followed your instructions to the letter the bolts just came undone! (my problem bolts were on a door latch plate). Thanks!

Thanks for the vid. Forget the negative ninnies. I myself have never used one and you definitely put it straight to the point and the other lot can sod off. Cheers

cheers mate. just bought one and evidently wasnt putting enough twist onto it while whacking. got my problem screws out first go after this vid.

thanks for tutorial i really appreaciate it. i was wrong to use it, really frustated to open the screw. i smack the screwdriver using hammer really hard and press screwdriver to left with my full energy but wont open. sorry for bad english, its not my language.

Just want to mention a small point. The tool is not intended to be used to tighten a bolt/screw. The R and L markings are to identify the setting for Right Hand or Left Hand threads. Removal only.

I feel asleep 1 minute in

Thank you sir

Thank you for your demonstration bubbles.

We had bought a whole tool set for our company and this came with it. We had no idea how to use it, and believe me or not this is the only resource in the internet on how to use this tool.

Ooogly googly awesome.
In an old kungfu movie voice
I have now become one -
with my impact drive. 谢谢

I bought mine for about $20, and it's the best $20 investment I've ever made.

With the brand I have, I've attached a socket to the end of it and turned it with a socket wrench if the first method doesn't work.

So much more fun then heating the dang screws up with a torching everytime.

Wait how does that even work? what is driver doing?

I just got one of these in a grab box at an auction. The whole box was $1, and I saw one of these in there. It is a craftsman and I had NO idea what it was until I watched this video. You learn something new everyday! Thanks

Too slow, can u make it faster nextime? Too many explanation!

Good video very helpful

Thanks for the video, could be a 30sec video, and you'll get rid of most your dislikes

Cool. Found mine at a garage sale for $2.00. Was going to sell it on ebay . After watching this vid I'm going to keep it.

I have a screw that is seized on my cold water knob. I have tried wd40 and other stuff and it won't budge. I was thinking of an impact driver but was worried that it would damage the water line. What do you think?

It's actually harder than some of the commenters think it is. The key is to apply pressure on the driver before you hit it. If you don't apply pressure, it's not going to turn. You apply pressure to have it ready to move when you hit it.

Realy nice job.

who the hell invent rotor screws! very smart invention.. of wasting our time!

Do I need to replace the screw for the new rotor? Seems superfluous and a hassle to remove.

I was finally victorious and able to remove two factory Honda brake disc screws today because of this video. I have had many Hondas over two decades. I always wound up stripping them and having to drill them out. To be honest, I never understood how to properly use an impact screw driver. Thank you backyardmech! My Sunday afternoon thanks you too!

Please tell me what brand of impact screwdriver are you using.?

Is this effective for removing stripped screws and bolts?

Great video thanks! I'm doing this exact thing today.

Take the driver tool holder off to expose the 3/8 or 1/2 inch drive, it just pulls off:)

thank you

Mechanics 101 by Hunter S. Thompson

hey man, I want to take time to thank you for making this vid. i watched it a couple years ago and decided to buy one from lisle and the tool has been part of my main set ever since. seriously one of the best tools I have ever purchased and has saved me countless hours of frustration.

so thank you very fucking much. haha!

Does the tool have a hex type to undo the hex shape bolt

thank you

Impact drivers like this should come from the factory set for "lefty loosy", since that's what it will be used for 99.99% of the time.

European viewer here, so excuse my grammar.

But a lot of you have completely misunderstood the point of this tool, an "Electric impact driver" will do a lot of things faster than this tool; yes! ....BUT! with an electric impact driver you are also way more likely to strip the screw head, with a "manual impact driver" like this you are a lot less likely to strip the screw head and it will also give you more control over how much force you are putting into the seized screw, where as an "electric impact driver" will just go pretty much full power the whole time.

Lastly there seems to be a bit of confusion in terminology in the comments.

- "Impact wrench" = designed for use with sockets, and designed to be used exclusively on bolts, usually rated at 300 Nm or higher.
- "Impact driver" = designed for use with bit drivers and used screws, and small bolts. usually rated at around 100 Nm (some are at 200 Nm though).
- "Impact screwdriver" (aka manual impact driver) is the tool shown here in this video, again designed for use with bits on screws (Note: can be used on small bolts too)

Hope that helps clarify things a bit.

Very helpful video thank you! If the car is Asian, please see video entitled ''The right way to remove Honda Brake Rotor Screws''. Because the Asians use Screws that look like Phillips, but are slightly different, and therefore easy to ruin with a Phillips. There called JAS screws and are all over their cars. According to the video there are only 3 sizes,1,2 and 3.

Many thanks my friend, I just bought one and it came without any manual ... you just showed me what I need to do to set either to L or to S setting ...thumbs up!

I came here because I had a screw that would not move no matter how hard I twisted it to the right. Here I learned I had to go Lefty Lefty. Thank you so much the screw is very loose now almost at the brink of falling out ??

Use the same POS you're using and the tip twisted off and got stuck in the screw lmao dont buy SureBilt brand
