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?
You could also use a system of pulleys or gears to give you a mechanical advantage...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.A electric impact has 1100 ft-lb of nut-busting torque. Will this electric impact work?

No.Would a electric impact cordlessdriver lift 260 lbs with a 3 ft lever arm?
That seems to me like asking a woodpecker to push over a tree.Would a electric impact cordlessdriver lift 260 lbs with a 3 ft lever arm?
That to overcome gravity you need constant torque not just brief pulses of it.What am I missing?
