So the rear axle bolt on my Ducati is a bitch to get off.
I have the proper socket, but at R4 after having somebody stand on the rear brake and standing on my 19" breaker bar, I finally had to borrow an impact wrench to get it off (thanks, Pinned).
That isn't going to work if I need a quick wheel swap, so I'm reluctantly in the market.
The torque specs to get it on are 162 ft/lbs....I put it on at 150 ('cause that's as high as my torque wrench will go and it just happens to line up with a hole the retaining clip can go in) and it must be double that to get it off, but that's just a wild guess...
The most convenient would seem to be cordless, but a name-brand one (dewalt or Milwaukee) seems to be ~$250+ (because I don't have any other tools compatible with those power packs). El cheapo seems to be as low as $60. This is currently my only need for it so I'm tempted to ignore the "buy once, buy right" - but not if the thing doesn't produce it's advertised torque.
Between corded electric and air driven, air driven seems less expensive, but I don't have an air source at home (or even a proper garage) so outside of the LRRS garages I don't currently have a way to use an air driven one.
...so I guess I'm leaning towards a corded electric one, I imagine myself tripping over cords but then again, if I'm running warmers I should always have a power source at-hand
..although price is still a deterrent there as the name brands are ~$200
Thoughts?
