    What do you guys think this rattle when I kick the front passenger tire is? Just noticed it. Think it could be the brake? Shitty vid, but you can hear it

    I'd say no, not that style of impact. Don't know how useful that'd really be on trucks. You'd want something that looks like this.

    Bronze for sure! That's a great color on black.

    Is it even comparable though? I've never used the style that he posted, only the ones I've posted and they're freaking awesome. Genuinely wondering.

    I use my 3/8 attachment all the time. might squeeze out more torque without the attachment but id rather be able to use the tool for more things. Fwiw

    If it's able to, I'd be thoroughly impressed!

    After looking over this some more, I stand by my original statement. If you're getting the impact gun to work on your truck, then I'd get the style one I posted earlier. The impact gun that you linked only creates 118 ft/lbs of torque. It's misleading because on Amazon they have it listed as in/lbs.

    I'm still going to stick to my recommendation of Ryobi though for quality without breaking the bank. It's a fantastic tool, especially for someone like you and I who only use it every once in awhile and not every day.

    Here's a solid drill combo (it's even a little nicer than mine) and here's a bad ass impact wrench that's spitting out 300 ft/lbs of torque.
