Re: WTB 1" impact

Geeze Jeff, last time I had to deal with something like that I hired a big-rig tow truck to come on-site and do it for me.

IIRC it was cheaper than the 1" driver + socket needed.

Good luck on your quest.

thanx for the bump!!

I like to do alot myself if you have seen my build and noticed that already...lol..

I want it to do tire rotations the 11x24.5's cost me 300 each times 8 and the fronts 425x22.5 are over 800??? so I like to rotate them every oil change about 12000 miles so it will pay for its self....but I agree a newone is like 600

Re: WTB 1" impact

You may want to try some of the city government auctions. I buy from them all the time. I have only been burnt once or twice out of say a hundred times. I've bought vehicles,tools, heavy industrial equipment,barber shop,medical,auto shop equipment etc. many cities and states are contracting work out these days and getting rid of departments. I bought a $3700 machine for$60.00 from the Federal Government. Works like a champ. It was A federal marshalls sale on confiscated equipment. Also a two post lift for under $400.00 . I bought a $4700 air compressor from the city of Pearland texas for $280.00 they were just upgrading to a larger shop and sold it off. I used it for 5 years or so and sold it for $1100.
Just a thought

Yes! VERY good idea for those of us addicted to industrial grade equipment.
Looks like a grand time to shop for that vertical mill I've lusted after for decades!

PS--Jeff didn't mean to chop up your thread...l got caught up in the moment!

Great. Just great.

Now I see there's a $200 Bridgeport
auction in Oklahoma with 10 days to go.

This is worse than eBay!

Re: WTB 1" impact

If you got your tires from a big chain sometimes they will give you free rotations, I know my old shop did that. Its a small job if you have the manpower and tools available. Large job otherwise! Have you inquired with the "I bought $2000 worth of tires, rotate them for free!" yet?

Good luck finding a gun though, I wish I could help, only have the small ones. Also, I recommend getting a large torque wrench as well, you don't want those puppies rolling off. Torque to 450 ft*lbs

Re: WTB 1" impact

I got my dad this one for Christmas in 05. It has been used on a 2500 acre farm with 2 18 wheelers and 3 tandem straight trucks not to mention other equipment ever since. No complaints besides having to wait for the compressor to catch up. Oh and a 1/2" air line is nice, 3/8" will do it though.
