Two separate issues. First-
Mechanics today kind of suck. How do I know this? I’ve watched them.
Granted there are jobs I don’t have the tools for or the knowledge for. So for some things I’m at their mercy.
For instance the last bill showed the driveshaft bolts were stripped. Now maybe they were maybe they weren’t but I’d bet $50 the mechanic just hammered an impact gun on them with a 12 point socket and stripped them.
INSTEAD of using the torches and a hand ratchet to try and loosen them.
Maybe I’d be out $50 but I doubt it.
I’d have had my pee pee slapped if I pulled that crap.
So anyway, now the mechanic had to fart around welding nuts on to zip the bolts out. Chances are welding the nuts on created enough heat to help spin them out
But what do I know.
Even if the bolts WERE junk I say you’re farther ahead taking time to disassemble things rather than just hammer on things with impact tools.
Depending on what it is I RARELY grab impact tools FIRST.
I’ve had it argued that impact tools help break things loose by the hammer action. Which, is true.
I’ve witnessed more carnage from poor skills and impact tools. The old mechanics I hang around with said impact tools were a luxury years ago.
I prefer things done the old way
