billytheghillie Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 I recently bought one of these, the question is can I put a 19mm socket on it to remove car wheels? If so what size of bit do I get for it? Im useless with these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billytheghillie Posted August 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 I have a 19mm socket, but it is to big to fit on the bar, so need some kind of adaptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovercoupe Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 You need one of these, https://www.toolstoday.co.uk/teng-tools-drill-chuck-socket-adaptors?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIn92B0_zl3AIVhLTtCh1goALOEAQYASABEgJasPD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 The Teng adaptors are not for impact tools. If it is an impact driver, rather than an impact wrench, I would have thought it might struggle with 19mm wheel nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 U'll have to find out wot size the 'drive' is on ur 19mm socket? All socket sets have different drrives (size of the square bit on the ratchet) i think usually 3/8ths, 1/2" and either 3/4 or 1" on heavy duty agri/truck/ big dai socket sets. I would guess at 19mm likely be 1/2". Must admit i don't know if i'd even bother, i dunno if a cheapy 1 will have the torque and i'd aso be worried about cross threading the studs,can be an expensive mistake (if re tapping soesn't fix it) as a mechanic/tyre fitter done it to my motor and i couldn't prove which 1 done it o had to pay for it myself, 2nd hand hub I just use an old fashioned 4 handeled tyre iron's, ur not long taking studs of with them (my local tyre fitters have went back to them) put a piece of pipe/box section in to fit over the handle and its amazing the leverage/force u get for removing stubborn nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Undo with impact drive, then to replace wheel nuts use to butt up to wheel using impact drive then use torque wrench or brace to torque up. And be careful with locking wheel nuts, don't over tighten, you needn't really torque to the max, snap one and your stuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cant hit them all Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 these is what i use worls fine for me with 17mm sockets https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-socket-set-10-pieces/8967d https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-socket-driver-set-3-pieces/6297D?tc=EA3&ds_kid=92700022888058944&ds_rl=1248184&ds_rl=1245250&ds_rl=1247848&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4tPuvpno3AIVA5ztCh2c6ggLEAQYAiABEgIrefD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CM3Pm8qZ6NwCFUiC7QodiCcKJw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Funny i noticed those the other week althou was after a set to adapt sockets from 1 drive to a different drive. It does say on thoose No impact drivers. I'm sort of new to using impact drivers for putting screws in but the screw bits just seem to implode/shatter nowadays where with a battery drill would just loose the edge Even the bits designed for drivers (but i d use a lot of bigger dai/longer screws) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moose man Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 I can’t see what impact driver you bought but if it’s a standard type I wouldn’t think it has any where near the torque required to undo wheel nuts . They are designed to put in and take out screws , the ones designed for wheels have the 19 mm drive as standard and as said it’s a impact driver not impact wrench ..

Cant hit them all Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 i have the 10 piece set for about 2 years now can cant not fault them i have used them alot in my makita impact driver from taking of car wheels to removing leaf spring and u bolts on pick up truck to just quickly remove nuts and bolts from allsorts. try looking on ebay as a lot of old stock screw fix stuff end up on there still new, On 12/08/2018 at 20:28, scotslad said: Funny i noticed those the other week althou was after a set to adapt sockets from 1 drive to a different drive.
