You can use impact wrench with adjustable speed and impact power. Or screw it with your hand.

Makita and Hitachi have cordless impact drills with adjustable speed option.

Did the LUMU break the screw?

Renner_constructionMember since Jul 2015Aug 10, 2015 9:33 PM CT

Damn Lumu!

Too much power!!!

PeteWMember since Aug 2014Aug 10, 2015 9:45 PM CT

that must have been a lot of power to do that to the screw. damn….

DR99Member since Nov 2012Aug 10, 2015 11:31 PM CT

Always hand start your bolts to make sure the threads are not crossed. They also sell torque bars that tire change places use to limit torque.

Yes,

the power is brushless motor.

I can’t completely control it.

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Aug 12, 2015 3:52 AM CT

Yeah, I would probably use a torque drive when working with bolts like that. Adjustable power impact wrenches are a great tool but when you are cranking out a ton of power it can over drive and unlike metal it’ll break. I see you got your impact working again?

Fucking LUMU bastards!

I already hate these people, but the entertainment factor is just to good!

DR99Member since Nov 2012Aug 14, 2015 2:14 AM CT

It is pretty entertaining.

Though this is a new brand,still growing.

We will try to make the market acceptance of the brand.

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Aug 14, 2015 3:49 AM CT

@LUMU, where are these made? Maybe you could send one to TiA for a review?

Made in China.

If you need to do,we will be happy.

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Aug 14, 2015 4:43 AM CT

I don’t think that is a bad idea. I would contact Eric or Dan at TiA and see if they could try one out. It would be interesting to see how the tool works out in a video put on by the guys. This is an unknown brand and if your trying to enter an American market it might be worth putting the tool out to professionals like those guys for consumer review.

Umm. Yeah…. I don’t think anyone from America wrote that but it wouldn’t be the craziest thing I have ever seen!! Haha

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Oct 27, 2015 4:37 AM CT

Interestingly enough I don’t think the people that founded “do the better tool to easy your work” have been back on the site.

krutonMember since Jun 2015Oct 27, 2015 9:36 AM CT

I was really hoping they were going to send something to Eric and Dan to try out.

I think Milwaukee sent some lawyers after them. They were using a lot of Milwaukee promo materials.

NERemodelingMember since Aug 2014Oct 27, 2015 12:07 PM CT

They have a product that looks like a Clone of the hackzall..

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Oct 27, 2015 12:12 PM CT

Well that makes sense John…..do the better tool to make easy the job….why not copyright infringe Milwaukee 😀

NERemodelingMember since Aug 2014Oct 27, 2015 12:27 PM CT

Is it just me or does anyone else think that “topnote” and onetools” are actually the same person?

Its strange that that topnote joins the forum with a lumu avatar and only ever posts about lumu tools.. Like he is lumu:s biggest fan.. Then just a few days later onetools magically finds the post and joins the forum to answer all of topnote’s questions or just support the brand..

They both have the exact same awful English, the same that is found on the lumu website and lumu’s YouTube posts

Also top note always starts the topic and then once onetools starts to comment we never hear from topnote again…

The whole thing is very fishy….

NERemodelingMember since Aug 2014Oct 27, 2015 12:31 PM CT

Topnote/onestools whoever you are…. Stop trying to take us as fools and if you want to introduce your company, LUMU, then just do it openly honestly. We aren’t idiots, the way you are commenting now is honestly doing more harm than good to your business.

ChrisKMember since Dec 2012Oct 27, 2015 12:57 PM CT

Yeah John more likely than not but it was not a positive one way or the other. Your right though. We’ve been getting a lot of spammers the last few weeks and I’ve canceled several accounts but those ones were pretty blatant.

ALWAYS. If I am working on something like my engine, I try to thread as much by hand as possible, then use just the socket or socket and extension. Then it’s just a quick zip with a power or air tool. Then the torque wrench to ensure proper torque settings.

If that little voice on your head says you shouldn’t do it, probably shouldn’t, nothing worse than snapping a head off a bolt and spending half our day trying to carefully get the damn thing out.
