80-100#? That'd be a very small electric impact. My cheap one was 250#. With a
good battery it was pretty good. The new generation of lithium are amazing...

Actually, Rusty used MB of Orlando more than he did Tampa. His business with
MBoT was sporadic, so they cut his discount back (I got a better discount than
he did!) so he moved a lot of his stuff to Orlando. Orlando would do keys for

No experience with your Tampa dealership and I have only dealt with
Northlake over the phone. The wholesale parts guy is an enthusiast who has
helped me track down hard to locate parts on several occasions. They ship
quickly and are accountable so I was always happy. Their prices match the

There’s a lot to consider when I can text an order in at my leisure or get
something shipped in overnight
I had a junker that I wanted 126 wheels off of. all 20 bolts were
severely overtightened. I was jumping on a 18" breakerbar with no
results. (300++ ft Lb.) I finally got 10 out by hammering on the end
of the breaker bar with a 2 lb blacksmith hammer for probably 5-10 min
each bolt.
