We really need a tool forum. Every time I get enough money saved up and come back to forum to find that great tool someone posted on one of these forums, I can never find it.

You can have a good feel for how tight the impact is getting things and still, i can go behind it with an actual torque wrench and find a very large variance of under-and over torqued bolts. They just aren't reliable, I don't care how good you are with one. Tightening something by hand is way more reliable, even if you don't use a torque wrench compared to an impact gun.
That is just my own take and observations on them, Maybe others have a different experience.

Maybe that'll get his undivided attention. Actually, he has save me lots of money. What little I donate will never compensate for what I have gotten off of this board but it is much appreciated.
