Can you use this to tighten or loosen bolts? Like a socket wrench?

Definitely. You will need an adaptor that the drill will hold, and accepts 3/8" or 1/4" drive sockets. I have driven lag bolts and used it on automotive and other mechanical applications as well. It packs a surprising punch, but if the load is too big, it does have its limits. I say try it and see what happens. Excellent tool.

The 12 volt PS41 is best at setting assorted screws and small diameter bolts~1/4 dia. If you want to address bolts then you need the heavier 12 Volt with a 1/2 inch chuck and "hammer-drill feature. will do nuts up to 1/2" at best----after that you need a heavy duty 110 v. model. More details would clarify the size of bolts used thus selecting the proper drill for the "JOB"...

I'm guessing it has too much power. It really has some torque. Would depend on the size of screws. I used it on some 1/2 bolts and it was fine.

I use a Gorilla Wrench which includes the correct size socket. I also use a 6 inch extension. Don't forget to torque your lugs after tightening them.

I love this set of deep sockets, but they are intended for use for things like wheel bolts where you have lots of space. I couldn't imagine that you could get the 10mm one into tight places where the bolts are close together. I wouldn't recommend it as a primary set, but its awesome for what its intended for.

Not designed for that job. This is an impact wrench. Since it runs at 12VDC, it spins up first before applying impact.

I have never had much luck with the "tools" supplied by any manufacturer of any product. I always expect to use real tools and this product was no exception. I had no trouble tightening the nuts and bolts with a 6mm allen wrench and an adjustable crescent wrench. I might have used a socket set as well, it's been a while since assembly.

NO, like on lug nuts I always use a torque wrench to tighten them, this tool has to way much power to control the amount of torque, but to loosen nuts it's awesome. I use mine often and am very happy I purchased it.

Yes, you can use this to temporarily tighten your zip line cable, however, a proper sized turnbuckle would be advisable for permanent attachment.

You can use chrome sockets in a pinch, but extended use will break them. You should get impact sockets.

A better solution is a breaker bar. This can be used to tighten lugs, but it's much easier with the breaker bar. I had to stand on the bar for it to loosen lugs.

Hello There, as you said you can plug it into your torque wrench and use it ig you have the proper socket, my personal recommendation is that use the same lug wrench you have used before. Regards.

I am not sure. I'd have to do some research. But it's used to take off the Crack pulley bolt. It's useful, but that bolt is still a pain to take off even with this.

This could be used for that purpose, but turning a bunch of hardware with the various wrenches on this tool might be a pain in the ass. It is a very bulky thing to have to twirl over and over.

No, all you need it a socket and for the inside nut. Just don't over tightened.

They will tighten but torque no . You will need to use a torque wrench for that. I use my to only for 1/4 inch drive sockets.

Yes. You will need two wrenches in fact. One wrench to hold the nut in place and the other wrench to tighten the bolt. The quality is good though it gets used daily and is sturdy.
