Questions & Answers for Halfords Halfords Advanced Impact Driver & Bits

Question
How am I supposed to use this with an impact socket? It says it can be used on a 1/2" socket, but there is no 1/2" square bit to attach the socket!
Included are several screwdriver tips, and one hexagonal bit, but no square that will fit in my impact sockets (also Halfords Pro range...)

answer 2
The screwdriver bit holder is infact a 1/2" square drive adapter - if you take that off you will see the 1/2" square bit.

Question
Undoing a stubborn wheel nut?
Is this impact driver the sort of thing you would use to undo a stubborn wheel nut. It is too tight for me to undo using the standard brace.

Yes you can but a breaker bar is less risky if you have alloys

By standard brace I assume you mean the less than 300mm one usually supplied with the screw jack in the car?
If this is the case first step would be to try an extending wheel wrench, if this fails then possibly try using the impact wrench. Best bet would be to take it back to where your tyres were fitted or last service carried out and get them to loosen them off as they were done up too tight.
However if you have Alloy Wheels and your fixings have been done up too tight there maybe some damage.

The best bet would probably be a proper air powered impact wrench, but as they're rather expensive, you could definetely try using this with a large hammer!

The Impact driver will deliver a short sharp shock which may begin to get the wheel nut moving, You will need to purchase the correct size 1/2" impact socket to use with this tool.

You hit it hard with a hammer, only electric or air impact drivers are powered. The only limit is how hard you can hit it.

This is powered by using a hammer on the back of it - I guess the max torque is how hard you can hit it!
