- In this video i put the new earthquake xt 20v 1/2 to the test. I went to car haven to find a worthy bolt to remove. Will the new 20v earthquake 1/2 xt remove a Honda crank bolt?

*Excelente kit **MyBest.Tools** suficiente mente potente y ligero. la luz incorporada en el taladro es muy superior a versiones anteriores que se encuentra cerca del broquero.*
Great test. I twisted and snapped a 20 inch x 1/2 in drive Craftsman extension trying to remove mine for a timing belt change. Worst bolt I ever removed, finally took heat to loosen it. It was crazy watching that extension twist to its breaking point.
Thanks for doing these test Eric just what I was looking for!
raycamba No Problem👍
That's a great testing standard for that sort of thing! I know those bolts are in their own little world. As others have said, the proper socket will make things a little easier (and fair, if you decide to test other tools with this benchmark).
It was a good effort though Eric. That was a real world test.👍👍👍
Rob's Wrenches yeah its unfortunate but with the right impact socket its might remove one. thanks for watching
I used my Earthquack XT 1/2 inch to take off a crank pulley bolt from a D15B2 I had in the garage, and a D16Z6 as well. The B2 was on engine stand, and the Z6 om the floor, both zipped right off.
I've seen them though not budget with 1/2 inch and 1 inch air tools so, and put up fights with breaker bars and jack handles. So maybe i got lucky twice. I know for sure the B2 crank wasn't seized. Next one i try will be kn the D16A6 in my 90 Civic when I replace the pulley with another so my power steering will work again lol
The only way to get those Honda crank bolts is to use that special 19mm crank bolt socket to get it off. Regular sockets won't get it off, it doesn't matter how much torque you have.
it may able to if use the harmonic balancer socket. It is like our time heavier than regular impact. I had issue using regular impact socket, but when switched to the heavier socket, the bolt came loose.
Broke one of those Bolts off today on my Acura TL using the Milwaukee V18 cordless impact gun.. using the right impact socket it came right off... I try with regular extension and breaker bar for an hour and nothing until my friend let me borrow his impact gun.. Now I want one.. I guess for impact Milwaukee is the way to go..
The Impact gun isn't the problem. You have to use a thick wall socket such as Lisle 77080 for these bolts. Experience proves it!
thank you for your feedback. the main reason of the video is it see if the impact alone would be enough to remove the fastener since it claims high torque numbers
That is exactly correct. The Honda crankshaft bolt is legendary for extraction difficulty, and generally cannot be removed by most impact guns unless you use the high mass socket (Lisle) as described. With that socket, the earthquake would have removed it.
I haven't seen an 1/2 air impact remove that yet that's why they make that crankshaft pulley holder tool it holds the pulley stationary with breaker bar then using another breaker bar to break that bolt loose
Exactly the same results with my 20V kobalt. The gun loses power because the engine is turning. The Honda crank bolt tool is needed.
Those bolts are really tight sometimes, ive had to use a 3/4 air impact on a couple.
I used a 10 FOOT extension on a breaker bar for a 2004 Honda Odyssey crank bolt. I needed it. Scary sound when it finally broke loose.
+Really Happenings yeah those bolts are really hard to remove.
Really Happenings trashing go buy milwaukee
it needed the special socket honda has to hold the pulley in place while you loosen the 17mm bolt. I had done a timing belt job on a 99 civic I used the earhtquake xt 1/2 it did remove the bolt.
Yes if you use the Lisle 77080 Harmonic Balancer Socket along with this impact Wrench, I think it should zip it right off without any problem.
+james aighewi yes, i agree with you
I used the Lisle 77080 with the above tool in this video and removed 5 of them at the junkyard. I also removed it with a short 19mm impact socket.
My 97 crv took everything I could throw at it, finally i got that socket and it popped right off with my crappiest impact
Try that again. This time with Honda crank bolt socket. They make special sockets for crank bolts.
Batman31112 with that socket it probably will remove it
No just buy a DeWalt
@@davegutierrez3216 defall and milfuckee are the same exact thing they just have body brands and different battery cell providers
Ha yeah those bolts are crazy, The one on my Teggy wouldn't bust loose without the tool to hold the pulley and a big breaker bar.
Spark Plug Projects yeah man i was hoping it would come lose but nothing, it was a good try tho, yeah the crank tool would definitely help
The earthquake is a nice gun for at home but if you want something you can actually count on you have to spend 2-3x more. Either that or get a big breaker bar lol. Nice reviews btw. I love seeing real honest reviews. I also own the Dewalt, 20v 1/2 and 1/4, M18 3/8 and 1/2 and both earthquakes. The only IR's I own are air powered 2235's. All are great, but different. Especially when you use them every day is when you really notice the differences.
It's all about the sockets when it comes to impact wrenches proper sockets will remove bolts a whole lot easier than just your regular sockets
@TheOtherWhiteBread0 just because a socket is impact rated doesn't mean it's the correct socket type for the job. For this crank bolt, you want a weighted socket specifically made for removing a 19mm crank bolt. Lisle makes one. It would have come off within 2 seconds had he used it instead of s standard thin wall impact socket.
Tjoala im going to buy one of these sockets for when I’m working on my ram, I didn’t know that socket types made that big of a difference. Thanks for the info 👌
years ago I bought the HF Earthquake 3/4" air impact just for Hondas
My snap on air gun will usually not break this particular bolt on some Honda's
I agree, CTA,Lisle,and IR make the heavier, Honda crank bolt,socket's, CTA has a three socket set,only $50.-$60.00
I had an old shop owner give me some advice when I was asking for help breaking a Honda Pilot crank bolt. He said to leave a breaker bar wedged against the ground, and bump the starter switch. I finally tried it and it worked like a charm. I made all the kids get out of the garage and I sat in the car. I thought it would shatter the breaker bar but it didn't. All it did was chip the cement a little. All I know is I would have thought your video was fake if that tool did take the bolt out. So I consider this a success not a fail video.
Bryant Larsen thanks for your feedback, i had high hopes for this impact wrench but these bolts are really on there and i have dont the bump start on other cars and it works like a charm
The direction of the engine rotation would just tighten the bolt further.
Nice review
I worked for Honda for 10 years. We used a 3/4" gun to get them off. There is no locktight on Honda crank bolts. It's because Honda engines run in the opposite direction than most engines and the crank bolt is right hand thread causing it to be tighter over time. I don't know if any cordless impact that will do it.
The Snap-On Tool Review no cordless impact will do it. We all have different brands in the shop. Mac, matco, snap on, Milwaukee all fails lol
Both my snap on and my milwaukee 1/2 have taken them off before. It all seems to depend on age/mileage of the car
dave oneal ok. I took my dewalt to the junkyard i was able to get most of them off. Like 80%... i got the thicker sockets i think i can get everything off.
Insoo Kim guess I should retire
Milwaukee 1/2 cordless with 1,100 ft-lb will do it. Every single time. This shitty HF Is alright for small things, but I wouldn't count on it for heavy duty work.
U should give it another go at it.. wit the right socket n something holding the pully. Gud vid tho.. i was planning on buying 1. dont no about now lol
I broke my bolt off my 95 Civic. With a breaker bar and a 5ft pipe but it broke lose and came off with a reverse drill bit
With the right socket it would come off. It did move both crankshafts.
yes I believe that as well
I am a Subscriber just because I believe "YOU KNOW WHAT YOU're Doing! Great Job
Thank you!
Like the real world test 👌🏾👍🏽
Thank you!
Get the 19mm Lysle Honda impact socket and it will take it off. PB Blaster and a little heat on the washer not the bolt will help.
I thing the lisle makes the 19 mm for those crank bolts
There was a huge loss of torque when the engine was turning over from not being locked down. You need to use a flywheel lock to prevent the engine from turning before you use the impact gun. It's counter productive if the tool is turning over the engine as it will never loosen the bolt.
You think if you wrap the socket with a roll of electrical tape to give it more mass, it will come off?
+Chris i found this "The heavier the socket is the more force it takes to overcome the sockets inertia, therefore the less force is applied to nut/bolt to undo it, but on the other hand rigidity of the socket comes into play with that the more rigid the socket the more force is applied to the nut/bolt and is also more reliable.
The reason a impact socket will work better on a impact wrench is that they are more rigid".
Wonder if that bolt is reverse threaded? I haven't removed one in a while but I thought I remember it being reverse threaded..
overdalimit “correct Sir absolutely its reverse threaded” Honda noted for this
It’s happen to me on my Hyundai Elantra some bolt that’s bolt need something stronger than this Impact
At my shop, we have to use a 1/2 air gun. And we hook a nitrogen tank up to it set to 300 psi. It removes the bolts quickly.
Honda crank bolts are notorious for being the tightest bolt to remove in the automotive world. Other cars, the crank bolts come off no problem.
In my time it was Volkswagen axle nuts. There was a 36mm crows foot for 1/2" breaker bar that had a surface on it to pound it with a sledge.

To release a flanged bolt on a crankshaft, a heavy weight socket is required. These sockets are much wider and heavier than an ordinary socket Their extra weight amplifies the torque.
Well...I gave it a thumbs up.. But try it again and lock out the shaft from rotating.
That DOES NOT matter; the crank is not spinning at a 100 RPMs...
Turning the engine is pretty impressive as long as the plugs were in it.
Nah I gotta eBay impact that can do that
Invest in a thicker socket designed to remove harmonic balancers. It will transfer more torque to the bolt.
Ingresoll rand makes sockets for this, those bolts come right off with their sockets
I used a 1/2 earthquake on 99 civic I did use the crank pulley socket and my impact was able to break the crank pulley bolt loose
You need a power socket even dewalts and Milwaukee impacts have a tough time
my Milwaukee 2763 never had a problem with them.
You need that fat crank bolt socket. The impact wrench is fine
Bro get the Lisle heavy sockets. It will take them out easy everytime trust me I got the same impact
Of course it wont break the bolt with the engine turning...you have to keep the rotating assembly from rotating first..
THAT does NOT matter!!!!!!!!!!!!if you go back to school ,study INERTIA.... crank+rods+rings friction+pistons has A LOT of INERTIA,that slow spin does *not* matter.
Engine was turning, absorbing a lot of torque. A socket designed for that would have worked better. Also, there is Milwaukee and there is Milwaukee Hi-Torque impact guns. There is a difference.
Hold the pulley....ive had to do this even with a snapon gun
I got it to remove with that drill you have to get a little heavy socket then turn in right then left then boom off
They sell special socket that will do it I think they call it lial socket
Eric their is a special socket for honda and toyota 19mm use it all the time you dont need that other tool to take it off
thank you for letting me know, I will have to try this next time
I am sure it would have taken them off if the flywheel did not turn. I have the same gun and it rocks. I usually use the starter to remove crank bolts. But cant do that at wrecking yard.
+Mike F im sure it would maybe one of these days ill go back and try to remove the crank bolt while i hold the flywheel
Try it with a Lisle 77080 19mm Harmonic Balancer Socket, then you'd probably get every one. AvE did a great review on this impact wrench, it's very well built & engineered (made in Taiwan, too, not China).
and yes id does make a difference taiwan stuff is much better than China. My buddy has stuff made there and is far superior.
If you are bored, best tool review you'll ever see (he takes it apart before using it): ua-cam.com/video/UkPzjV-ZaTU/v-deo.html His other videos are a real hoot, too.
use a IR power socket on that gun it will come strait off
That’s not going to happen with any 1/2 inch impact electric or air. Takes a special inertia socket and a good impact
Dewalt DCF899 removes those for funs. The xt is rated similar though.
Milwaukee M18 high torque 1/2" with 1400 foot pounds of torque might do it.....
It would have came right off if you would have had the heavyweight socket for Honda's I use it all the time with my earthquake and it takes them right off with no problem
No impact will do it. To much movement in crank. It takes all the torque just loading up the gear box if you put it in gear. Did a bmw 320d bottom pulley the other day on bros car, man it was tight. Proper tool broke so had to weld it up. 3/4" drive 1m bar with one pushing an one pulling!
Bullshit. I took a crank bolt off a 2009 Accord with a Milwaukee 2763 last week. Bolt had never been off before, 142,000 miles. Came off immediately.
I got a bolt on a 1999 box truck it WILL NOT remove lol it got the rest but not the last one it will take a red hot poker to get it out
My craftsman which only has 500ftlbs of reverse torque took one off not sure what your doing and my xt earthquake pneumatic would bust that bolt loose in 5 seconds thats why i like air
+Matt Moyer I have the earthquake xt as well but not as strong as this cordless impact.
I dont know man i wish i could take a pic i have this xt as well but it doesnt hammer like my craftsman the crank bell i think thats what they call it is lighter so that hammer effect isnt the same
No beans at all
50sKid it was spinning the engine, if the engine was not able to turn it would have come out, the other one clearly has a place for a specialized socket to hold the crank pulley while turning the crank nut
Add on an extension the longer you have the more torque you get 😉
sure...
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE LOLOL
Honda bolt never come out that easy i use a big braker bar o a bigger impac gun
Thanks. Now I know for certain I made the right choice, getting the Milwaukee over the Earthquake!
thank you for watching
What's the intro song ?
Mtb Ridingog sorry dont know the song name
POFS!
man there's no cordless impact gun that can do that. not even a snapon 1/2" can do it. you need air tool. A 3/4" impact with over 1k ft.lb toque. I have to used 3/4" air impact gun to loosen up a 2004 Accord v6 . first time to change the timing belt cuz it has never change before since it came from the factory. 5 years ago.
pnweezy lookup the dewalt dcf899 on UA-cam and you'll see it get it off.
my Milwaukee takes them off easy
+Brandon Gonzales make a video
Supposedly that impact is supposed to have 1200 ft lbs of breakaway torque
Most crank bolts have loctight applied. The kind you need to heat up to break the bond.
Heat it up a bit and they will come right off.
If you need to heat up something for your "awesome" impact to work, it's already failed. Onto the next gun!
No honda has loctite on their crank bolts.
are you at ecology in phx
robert anderson pull and save
Hhaha! I bet many people will say "my Snap on gun will do it" Let's be honest, 99% Milwaukee will be the one that will do it then Dewalt & for last "Snap on" 😅
Nope, just you
IR W 7152 impact is the best out there as of now...removes Honda crank bolts like butter*!*!...ZERO hesitation
Snap on and then dewalt brotha.
Is the other way
Dude your engine is moving not a fair shake
return that earthquake get the 1/2 high torque and you will have no problem
Eric, if you're interested in knowing more about that impact check out:
watch?v=UkPzjV-ZaTU
IR would've take that out like butter!*!
Its a salvage yard, not a junk yard!!!
+Cory Fiume the both have crap what's the difference
Incorrect sockets my friend...
what's the correct socket

Why didn't you get the tool to hold the engine and do it right? You shouldn't have posted this; it reflects negatively on your whole operation. I'd take it down and do it right; so should you. Just my two cents. Peace.
hehe
Throw it out lmao
Any impact that can't remove a Honda crank pulley isn't worth being called an impact
Jose Hernandez you must be new
Throw that junk away. If your going to spend over 200 for a cordless impact... just get a milwaukee.
Fernando Gonzalez I like collecting junk
Sorry bro, didn't want to come off as a dick. But i really recommend a milwaukee cordless impact. It will knock those honda crank bolts off. 5 year warranty, brushless motor and its 229 w/o the battery. I was looking at buying this earthquake impact but got a 2767 after doing some research.
Pos
That thing is junk 😂
You fail boss....not the gun.....you have to stop the engine first
..... no he did not fail. He just needs the honda socket from lisle.
your mexican accent too strong ...very hard to understand you!
🤣 dam bro
Ingresoll rand makes sockets for this, those bolts come right off with their sockets
