Well I have a full craftsman socket set. Are those safe to use with an impact wrench?

 

[ethlar]

not really, they make specific impact sockets that are softer metal, the chrome ones on a stuck bolt could explode from a impact force

 

[Redrocket1]

That's what I figured. So I was gonna spring for the Dewalt 10 piece impact set

I tried to take my crank pulley off with a cordless dewalt and it wouldn't budge. I borrowed my dads snap on and tI took a couple tries but It got the bolt out.

May have been an issue with the battery or the brushes. The one I picked out has plenty of torque and I'll mostly use it for wheel changes.

 

[Nevtec]

Yeah possibly, it was borrowed so it could have been mistreated. For just wheels I'm sure you won't have any issues.

I'll post back when I get something ordered and tested

The 760 is on sale for $290ish and is a HUGE upgrade from what I've currently got(gts250 lol) the 760 is more than enough for what I would be using it for.
I didn't see the 770 FS anywhere either, I just saw the 780 and 780 ti

Oh. I paid $300 (maybe it was $315) for the EVGA GTX 770.

 

[Nevtec]

That's pretty good, the 780's I saw were around 700 I think

Just to let you know.... most every high heat paint I have used does not cure until high heat has been applied, IE: will be sticky without baking. The solvents evaporate, but it doesn't cure. Also, this makes a poor finish coating IMO for salt resistance.

If you are dead set on using it, you must find a way to bake it.... however the household oven isn't a good idea.

Don't worry. I have something for that. : D

I will be selling the wheels that will be painted. They are for VWs.
