This video, (along with the passionate comments below) has helped to answer my question that I came for: can you use sockets to undo high torque bolts such as lug nuts? I conclude that the answer is yes, but not ideally suited for regular heavy duty use. I see that in the Ozito range, the brushed motor impact driver used here is the basic model with 150Nm torque. The brushless model has 180Nm. Meanwhile, their range of 18V impact wrenches range from 215Nm to 400Nm

God damn, the comments on here. Use the damn thing for whatever you want to use it for. That impact driver has a 5 year warranty. So i say make it well worth your while
In over 50 years of driving, I have never once used a torque wrench to tighten wheel nuts and not once (even on outback roads) have I lost a wheel nut.
Never heard of the brand, but lug nuts is kinda overkill for impact drivers, they are mostly designed as a carpenters tool. Electric impact wrench is probably more suited, but dunno if they make one? Drivers are awesome for smaller stuff like interior work and plastic covers though! In any case, love the accent. Makes everything sound happier! Impect droiva! :D
yes I agree I wouldn't recommend for all day if its your job but for this price to get off the occasional wheel at the side of the road when miles from anywhere its a great tool at a good price.
@@JuanGarcia-oz6sg what? Dont recommend the impact wrench for lugnuts even though that's what they are for because impact drivers die after a few uses???

Like others have said, wrong too mate. Bunnings has the impact wrench for about 90 bucks. Don't stress the driver out on a job meant for the wrench.
You need an impact wrench, not an impact driver..
Unless you don't own an impact wrench.

It's more for customers than yourself. Being professional is an art in itself.

Yeah, it's an Aussie brand. I think it's a rebranded German brand "Einhell" - they seem to be compatible with each other.
Old mate is a bit of a tool
You mean I could use an impact driver to remove lug nuts instead of the impact wrench?? I need to return and get a refund then 🤣
Na I don't recomend keep your impact wrench if your gonna use it for lugnuts cause the impact drivers gonna die on you after a couple of uses

Impact wrenches produce higher torque and are more robust.
