I use this tool to remove anchor pins from trailer brakes. What impact socket is best for this tool?

7/8 - 27 but if you want to do such job you should not ask such question. Do you work fro CIA ? or are you a mechanic ?

The drill and the impact drill/driver are two different types of devices (obviously). The impact driver requires a hex ended bit. You can easily find a concrete bit with the hex end (1/4"). However, you will be asking a lot of your 12V machine if you try to drill concrete. I suggest a corded drill or at least an 18V battery drill for that type of work.

no impact driver. I have been known to use mine with a drill, as well as my "dremel" rotary tool. I think an impact driver would destroy it, if you could even find a way to attach it.

This is a impact driver kit. The bits have a hex shank on them. You may be able to buy a 3/8 to hex attachment for your impact gun but I don't know.

Previous answer is correct, any 1/2" sized set will do. I bought a set of impact sockets by Ingersoll Rand. As long as it's an impact-type socket that uses 1/2" drive you should be fine.

I've seen this same tool in several professional shops and the strongest I've been able to find. I saw my local garage use an impact wrench to drive the clamp and would recommend that to the 4 ft cheater pipe I used to get the ball joints pressed out of my Chevy.

As another person answered, it is best to break the nuts free first with a breaker bar and finish by tightening with a torque wrench. This tool has a maximum 1,650lb/in of torque, which converts to 137lb/ft. Most 1/2" impact wrenches (this is an impact driver not wrench) have in the neighborhood of 300-400 lb/ft of torque. Of course, pneumatic impact wrenches can have well over 500lb/ft.

I used it with a air impact gun to remove my rear bumper and trailer hitch on my truck. It had the air pressure for my air tool.

never used this impact driver for that. you want to check with harbour frieght. they have a impact driver especially for taking of lug nuts. I have one and it works great.

With the drill, I would recommend pilot holes. If you get the impact wrench, no need for pilot holes.

These are for use with the new 1/4 inch cordless impact drivers you could use a step down adapter of 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch (if you can find one) or 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch then 3/8 inch to 1/4 inch then use a 1/4 inch 6 point socket. I really believe that the investment in a new 1/4 inch cordless driver ( I prefer the 20 volt versions) would be a worth while investment and I find mine extremely useful around the farm. Dewalt makes them as do many other manufacturers, I like the Dewalt one the best for the money

I have the tool with the 1/4 impact socket head. If you need to "drill" in very tight spaces, the impact head version may be too large to fit as either an adapter or special drill bits (with 1/4 socket adaption) are required. As others have said, base the decision on what YOUR primary use will be. That said, I may get this version, also. I like the various Makita tools and have several 1.5 and 3.0 batteries.

I have a regular 3/8" chuck with a hex shank that inserts into any hex bit chuck such as the one in this impact driver. I bought at sears about fifteen years ago so they may no longer carry them. An online search for a hex shank 3/8" chuck should get you what you need.

Yes sir, I had a rounded head and uses 1size smaller, pounded the socket onto the rounded head. I used a 1/2 breaker bar with a pipe inserted over it to get extra purchase . One slow pull got her done. I was working on a salt water boat trailer springs, brake calipers. Never leave home without you Irwin Torques!

metric 7mm, look for the bargain set of allen wrench sockets they are usually as cheap as a single socket (under 10 dollars)

Not sure what you are asking, I run impact adapters and sockets with this tool. For a small tool the thing really delivers quite a punch. I find it very versatile when running screws in odd locations where I cannot use the standard impact gun. There are tons of adapters available for this thing. Do keep one thing in mind it has a small shaft, so when I am on a tough thing to loosen I try to use a socket initially to break the hold on the bolt.

Depends. A ratchet or breaker bar would be best. the sockets are for a 3/8 inch drive. You can use an open end or box wrench directly on the end of the socket (they would all be different sizes) but either a ratchet or breaker bar would be best.
