Electric impact guns, do they work good on rusty bolts?
On a truck that is 18 years old I'm removing bolts to install a body lift kit. Will an electric impact gun do the job? Or are they crap?

i have a dewalt electric impact that i used for tightening down foundation bolts on houses and there hasnt been anything it hasnt been able to unwrench(it'd twists your wrists if you werent careful). It was fairly pricey tho.

I agree I used to work for a company that rebuilt screens in mines, and we used a Dewalt Electric Impact when there was no air available, it worked great.
