I have one of those too, you break bolts and destroy stuff long before the gun gives up. In some ways, almost too much power, almost.

good to know
Some of them snap off and some of them I have to cut off. But MOST are hanging tough and come out whole.

if your still under the bus with the socket wrench, get you a large piece of cardboard or cut down a large box to make a tray.
Then punch a hole in the center for the socket extention to go thru it and make yourself an umbrella.

Hence the bus into an RV. This rain sucks. This snow sucks. This heat sucks. This gray sucks. This sun sucks. This ______ sucks.

25"+ inches of snow is fun in a pick up. Even more when you don't have to go to work.

I thought of that because it works when opening a bottlee of soda .....no go, but..... after a full day's work yesterday with the angle grinder ( because i got tired of messing around with the impact wrench and going under the bus) I only have 8 to go out of 22 !!!! It's a beautiful thing having all of that open space

Good idea but I'm so done with that. This should work though when it comes time to hang my water tanks....ughhh, I'm dreading that! Thanks for the great advice
