What is amazing in all this is that you managed to record everything without once getting in the way.
Only know do I realise that you must have been shadowing Alexander and I and we did not realise it.

Excellent shots.

I guess not.

Our use of air tools is limited to wheel lug removal and vanos rattle kit.

Everything else we use MUSCLE Power.

Although I am toying with the idea of getting an air wrench.

Air wrench is the bomb, stripping things is so quick and easy its actually fun.

Until you strip a thread, then it becomes considerably less fun. ;)
I've never stripped a thread with mine, +-6years of use. Besides, its kinda difficult to strip a thread when you use it mainly for removing bolts...


For tightening, you use your hand or hand tools to start threading the bolt to make sure you don't cross thread it, then change over to air wrench to get the bolt in quickly to the point it stops, then back to hand tools or torque wrench to tighten.

I know... I'm just winding you up with a bit of a play on words...

Don't strip your moer. ;)
