I need to lift 300 pounds with a lever arm 3 ft long. So, I need 900 ft-lbs. A electric impact has 1100 ft-lb of nut-busting torque. Will this electric impact work? What does nut-busting mean?

"Nut busting" is a marketing term not a scientific one,. It is a double entendre.kevindeschamp said:I need to lift 300 pounds with a lever arm 3 ft long. So, I need 900 ft-lbs. A electric impact has 1100 ft-lb of nut-busting torque. Will this electric impact work? What does nut-busting mean?
An impact wrench produces a torque impulse like a hammer does in a straight line. The impact is for a very short period of time. Each impact is capable of breaking the friction between the nut and the thread. Once started the nut spins off rapidly with very little force or impact being required. “Nut busting” is an advertising term that describes the force available to start the nut moving. An impact wrench can turn backwards in the time between impacts, so it won't work to turn a long lever arm.kevindeschamp said:A electric impact has 1100 ft-lb of nut-busting torque.

That to overcome gravity you need constant torque not just brief pulses of it.kevindeschamp said:What am I missing?
Electric impact work is a type of mechanical work that uses an electric impact wrench to apply torque to a lever arm with a weight of 300lb. This is typically done to loosen or tighten nuts in various mechanical systems.
Electric impact work is generally considered to be more efficient and effective compared to traditional methods such as using a manual wrench or hammer. The use of an electric impact wrench allows for greater torque to be applied to the lever arm, making it easier to loosen or tighten nuts.
Electric impact work can be used on most types of nuts, but it is important to consider the size and strength of the nut, as well as the torque settings on the impact wrench. Using too much force on a small or fragile nut can lead to damage or breakage.
Yes, electric impact work can be used for a variety of tasks that require high torque, such as removing bolts or screws, assembling machinery, and drilling through tough materials. It is a versatile tool that can greatly increase efficiency in many mechanical applications.
If you are dealing with stubborn or large nuts, or if you are looking for a faster and more efficient way to complete a task, electric impact work may be a good option. It is also a good choice for tasks that require a high level of precision and consistency.
